Wickenburg Ranch, any insight?

[satellitemike]

Went out to visit some old friends that retired there and they love it, my question is what is there to due there other than golf and become a cowboy? Any good lakes within an hours drive? Did a quick annual weather search and 105 June, 107 July, and 105 August averages, seems to be 8 to 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix?
The actual golf course and homes sites in the ranch are amazing, the developer did its homework!

Lake pleasant

The nine hole executive course in the middle of the development was bad ass!

Camping and outdoor stuff an hour north up here, along with Whiskey Row and such. Pleasant is maybe a half hour? Winter time there's lots of offroading down there. Close enough to the big city for all your "stuff", but far enough away for other "stuff".
I don't golf, so the rest of the stuff is what I look at.
And yes, during the winter, that's the roping capital of the world! No less than three cash pot competitions a week, lots of big timers "snow bird" there.

We did a weekend there with Shea Homes. Gave us a house for 2 nights for 200.00 and a give card for 200.00 which we used for golf and dinner.
Would i live there, no. You’re paying a ton of cash for what’s left for lots with hardly any view.
I like the area but i hate neighbors right next to you.

Get ya some boots and a hat and you are good to go.

Of course you gotta eat a burger and have a shake at Screamers

Friggin Lunatic Fringe had me chomping at the bit after I saw him eating there on Saturday. So I went by there today with a watering mouth and.....they were closed for Presidents day

Dammit

lol

I think I could settle down out there but it would be on the outskirts. Maybe 15-20 minutes out would be ideal.

It does get dusty and windy thru the entire area.

If you have Grandkids the rodeos, etc are all family oriented.

Screamers was a must stop on the way home from the river. Ask for the Tot's well done, yum!

Been there many times and you are 100% accurate

 

[DILLIGAF]

I was just looking at some of the homes in there. A 9 hole exec course....how many times can you play that before you are bored shitless? lol

For almost 600K you can buy a very nice place a bit out and have privacy.

Those houses are built like a typical cookie cutter. Can lights off center, plumbed like shit etc... Its a snow birds paradise

 

[Lunatic Fringe]

You all just keep on buying those Shea and Dorn homes.
Each one they build gets me a little closer to retirement.

About 2 months

I never understood moving to the middle of nowhere on top of each other. I guess its better than being on top of each other in the city.

Try the home made breakfast burrito at the 76 station across from the Maverick store.

Got the boots and hat ready to go. Drove by Screamers a few times last week, didnt know it was a must do.

Don't plan to have golf access for long, later this year the course will be going private.

Gas station cuisine? I usually grab something at either Screamers or the Filbertos or whatever it is called at the Shell station by the Ford Dealership.

They have a little deli in the mini market and a lady cooking up some nice homemade grub. Try it next time you go through there in the morning. LOL you won’t need lunch.
