Originally established as a dude ranch in the 1940s, Rancho Mañana attracted visitors seeking an authentic Western experience. One such guest was renowned Western artist Lon Megargee, who often visited and found inspiration in the ranch’s rugged landscapes. His connection to the property helped shape the artistic culture of the area, contributing to the ranch’s reputation as an escape for those drawn to the spirit of the Old West.
In the years following its heyday as a dude ranch, Rancho Mañana evolved into the golf destination it is today. Maintaining its connection to the Old West, the ranch was revitalized with a stunning 18-hole, par-70 championship golf course. The dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views of Camelback Mountain and Tonto National Forest continue to reflect the sense of adventure that defined its origins.
Rancho Mañana entered a new chapter when the Allred family took ownership in the early 2000’s, further enhancing the property while preserving its rich history. Under their stewardship, the course has flourished, offering an unparalleled golf experience in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. Mike Allred, whose passion for golf and hospitality runs deep, has been instrumental in maintaining the course’s high standards and welcoming atmosphere.
Today, as part of The Arizona Hideaway Collection, Rancho Mañana Golf Club blends history with modern luxury. It offers visitors a chance to experience both the charm of its ranching past and the beauty of the Sonoran Desert, creating an ideal retreat for adventurers and golf enthusiasts alike.
