S
ince 1983 when Jack, Tom, Arnie and
Gary gathered in Scottsdale to play the
first Skins Game, golfers have been
flocking to the Sonoran Desert to do the
same – less a few zeroes. Thirty years later and
10 minutes down the road, Tegavah also pro-
vides a gathering place for countless not-so-
notable foursomes to play the game and live
the life in style.
Inspired by the Yavapai word for "gathering
place," Tegavah first hit the Scottsdale golf
scene in 2006 as Vista Verde. Brookfield Resi-
dential Properties and JEN Partners acquired
the golf course development in 2013, and
with the help of developer TerraWest Commu-
nities and OB Sports, they're well on the way
to creating a highly desirable residential com-
munity in this jaw-dropping corner of the
Sonoran Desert.
The 7,229-yard, par-72 golf course lies at the
foundation of the community. Golf course de-
signer Ken Kavanaugh crafted Tegavah to feel
like a traditional desert-golf experience
