If you're looking for an amenity-rich golf community and year-round sunshine, you can't go wrong with Terravita or The Boulders. Terravita is a gated community with a 24-hour community patrol, offering the ultimate in security for its residents. Homeowners are also given a social membership to the Terravita Country Club, which is well-equipped with a variety of diversions. After taking a yoga class at the fitness center, swimming a few laps in the pool or challenging your neighbor to a round of tennis, you can drop into the clubhouse for fine or casual dining. There are also social activities, happy hours and themed parties going on throughout the year. Outside the Country Club, the community maintains seven miles of walking trails throughout the surrounding natural areas.

Golf club members can test their swing year-round at Terravita's 18-hole, championship course. Designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash, the course is a statewide favorite. It has received awards and recognition by Ranking Arizona 2005, Ranking Arizona 2006, Ranking Arizona 2007 and The Best of Arizona Business.

Like Terravita, The Boulders has generated a buzz in the golf world for its outstanding facilities. The community's two Jay Morrish-designed championship golf courses have been recognized and ranked by Golfweek and Golf magazine. The Country Club also features a tennis garden, Pilates studio, steam room, sauna and more. Both the golf courses and the luxury spa facilities are shared with the guests of The Boulders Resort, a five-star getaway destination. The residents, however, have the advantage of being able to experience this vacation resort all year long.
