The Rim Golf Club
About The Rim Golf Club
Opened in 1999, The Rim Golf Club sits within a gated golf-course community in Payson, set against the elevated terrain and long views that distinguish this part of central Arizona. Its higher elevation offers a cooler alternative to the desert floor and allows golf through all four seasons, while remaining within driving distance of Phoenix and Scottsdale.
The course is laid out to accommodate a wide range of abilities, balancing playability for newer golfers with enough challenge to hold the interest of experienced competitors.
The clubhouse serves as the social center of the community, with dining and drinks bringing members and families together.
