Rancho Manana — Cave Creek
Rancho Manana is one of Cave Creek's older established golf course communities, developed from 1974 onward around the Rancho Manana Golf Club. Located near the intersection of Cave Creek Road and Rancho Manana Boulevard, it places residents within walking distance of Old Town Cave Creek's restaurants, galleries, and western-themed commercial district — a proximity not available in Cave Creek's more southern master-planned communities.
The Golf Course
Rancho Manana Golf Club is a semi-private 18-hole course known for dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views of the Cave Creek valley and surrounding mountains. It has been consistently ranked among Arizona's top courses and named one of the top 50 golf courses nationally for women golfers. The course is semi-private, with public tee times available — confirm current membership and green fee structure with the club directly.
The Homes
Homes in the Rancho Manana area are predominantly large-lot single-family residences with mature landscaping, typically built between the 1970s and 1990s with substantial renovation activity. Lot sizes are generally larger than Tatum Ranch, and the age of the community means most homes have been customized or remodeled at least once. Home sizes range from approximately 1,900 to 4,100 sq ft. Prices typically range $700K–$1.5M, with premium course-view and oversized-lot properties at the top of the range.
Location
Rancho Manana is north of downtown Cave Creek, adjacent to the Old Town core. Cave Creek Road restaurants and galleries are walkable. The community is approximately 25 minutes from Scottsdale's amenity core and 35–40 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor. The longer commute relative to Tatum Ranch or Dove Valley Ranch is the trade-off for the proximity to Old Town and the character of the neighborhood.
