Anthem is in Maricopa County, in the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale metro area.
Anthem, Arizona is the result of a Del Webb development on a large parcel of land adjacent to New River, Arizona. It is a planned suburb 34 miles north of downtown Phoenix that opened in 1998. Featuring sweeping mountain vistas, golf, hiking and other recreational opportunities, Anthem has been described as one of the best places to live in Arizona by Phoenix Magazine. Anthem offers an excellent country club, superb swimming, children's programs and much more.
Anthem's premier facility is the Anthem Country Club. A 34,000 square-foot clubhouse and health and fitness center are planned to give the members of the club a full body workout and aerobic exercise. Massage and steam rooms are also available for the members of the club to use and enjoy. Afterwards, dinner at the Persimmon Bar & Grille will make the perfect evening for a relaxing day.
The Anthem Country Club is a gated community, built around two championship golf courses, and rises up the hillside. The Country Club has a luxurious 34,000 square foot clubhouse with pool and tennis facilities.
Anthem has a little bit of everything, including 300-foot elevation changes, arroyos, mounding, waterfalls and tiered greens, but a few of the finer qualities of the course really stick out. As with any championship-caliber course, Anthem places a premium on accuracy off the tees. The greens are large, many with two or three tiers, and are well-protected. Narrow necks and front-side bunkers take the bump and run shot out of the bag on most holes, and landing on the wrong tier drastically increases your chances for a three-putt. Anthem Golf & Country Club's 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Greg Nash & Associates, is a beautiful desert course, where you can witness awesome sunrises and sunsets burst over the zigzagging arroyos and saguaro-studded canyons.
