In my last post, I talked about the charming town of Flagstaff, located in Northern Arizona on the famous Route 66, and all it has to offer. Flagstaff is a popular summer destination for folks from Scottsdale, Phoenix and nearby cities since it is an easy 2 hour or so drive from the Valley without traffic.
In today’s post, I want to introduce you to a wonderful, private golf community in Flagstaff called Forest Highlands. Forest Highlands is located just off of Route 89A – minutes from downtown and about 30 miles from Sedona and its magical red rocks and cliffs.
Forest Highlands Amenities
Forest Highlands is a year-round community for all ages featuring two golf courses -the Canyon course, which is ranked number one in Arizona and was designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish and the Meadows Course, designed by Tom Weiskopf. Both courses have their own clubhouses, pro shops, driving ranges and putting greens. On top of the spectacular golf, Forest Highlands also has a fitness center, two pools, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, fishing, miles of walking/biking paths and so much more. For families, there is a summer youth program and recreation center for the kids.
While Forest Highlands is a year-round community, summer is the high-season and things are in full-swing. During the day, you can golf, play tennis, swim, hike, go into town to explore or simply relax. For meals, you can dine at either of the clubhouses, at a restaurant in town or simply BBQ on your own patio. My favorite part of summer at Forest Highlands is the great BBQ parties they hold on the holiday weekends. At the party, there is a huge, buffet-style BBQ, live music and plenty of games and activities for the kids. People from all over the community come to eat, have fun, dance a little, catch up with old friends and meet new folks. Multigenerational families get together to socialize and enjoy themselves. On the Fourth of July, there is a kids’ “parade” up the main road to where the BBQ is being held. The children decorate their bikes and wagons with red white and blue streamers and it is a sight to behold!
Homes at Forest Highlands
There is truly something for everyone at Forest Highlands. Homes range anywhere from 2-3 bedroom cottages starting around $585,000 up to million-dollar plus estates of over 6,000 square feet. There are also lots of all sizes and terrains available if you want to build your own home. And, membership to Forest Highlands is included in the purchase price of your home or lot.
