Celebrating Seville
Country Club opened 10 years ago
Ten years ago, the land around Riggs Road between Higley and Power didn’t really scream country club living.
Now, much of the barren desert is covered by lush fairways and greens and a beautiful clubhouse and sports facility sit at the peak of a road called Country Club Drive. Seville Country Club is what bloomed out of the desert 10 years ago and now its members and staff are preparing for a year-long party in celebration of this milestone.
“It’s going to be a great celebration,” says Ryan Barmore, membership director at Seville. “We’re going to have a year’s worth of fun events for our members to enjoy.”
To kick it off, Seville has launched an innovative program to invite new members to join in the festivities. Barmore says the club is offering a new seasonal membership package for those who call Arizona home during the cooler months. Those who own a home outside of Arizona can get a 25 percent discount on the annual dues for memberships that run from either November through April or December through May.
“It’s not common for a club in Arizona to offer a seasonal membership,” Barmore says. “It’s very unique.”
Seville will also give local residents who may be interested in joining the country club a chance to be a “Member for a Day” on two Mondays in December. A limited number of golfers will get a chance to play the private course, which recently opened after overseeding in October, and also have lunch at Bolero’s.
Those interested in either the seasonal membership or the “Member for a Day” program can contact Barmore at (480) 279-3040 or at ryan.barmore@ourclub.com.
Seville Country Club opened in 2001 with a vision of community with a resort feel. The golf course was designed by Gary Panks, who has created some of the finest golf courses in Arizona and throughout the United States. Besides Seville, Panks designed Silver Creek Golf Club in White Mountains, which was selected by Golf Digest as Arizona’s
“Best New Public Course” for 1986, and Sedona Golf Resort in Sedona, which was named one of the “Three Best Resort Courses You Can Play,” also by Golf Digest.
Seville also offers a state-of-the-art sports club that includes three tennis courts, a 3-story high waterslide, splash pad, sports pool, lap pool and cabanas, sand volleyball courts, outdoor basketball courts and exercise studios for group classes or private instruction and training.
Members and the public can both enjoy Bolero’s restaurant, which offers contemporary American cuisine, with an emphasis on food quality and engaging service. Bolero’s features an array of in-house, chef-prepared dishes that will appeal to everyone in the family.
Those interested in golf or sport club memberships can call Barmore at (480) 279-3040.
