The Story

Fostering community, camaraderie, and enjoyment has been our recipe for success at Westbrook Village Golf Club!

Westbrook Village Golf Club (WBVGC) has a rich history of community and support since its establishment in 1994. Both courses were originally built by Universal Development and Construction (UDC), with the Lakes course opening in 1983 and the Vistas in 1990. As the final homes were being built by UDC, they sought companies to purchase and operate the courses individually. In September 1994, UDC accepted an offer for the purchase of the Lakes course, on the condition that the homeowners did not purchase it. However, a group of savvy members and homeowners stepped in and requested to present a proposal for the purchase of both the Lakes and Vistas courses by the club members. Initially, UDC was hesitant about the idea, but after reviewing the proposal and business plan put forth by the members and homeowners, an acquisition price and guidelines were agreed upon on October 27th, 1994.

The members then had the task of procuring a set membership fee from 1000 members by December 15th. In a remarkable display of community spirit and enthusiasm, the committee achieved their goal, selling the 1000th membership just days after it was set, on November 18th. Final papers were signed on November 23rd, and the Westbrook Village Golf Club began operation on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 1994.

Community and camaraderie are the pillars of the Westbrook Village Golf Club. Many of the original purchasing members, including Les Wilson, board president during the acquisition and WBVGC member #0001, are still affiliated with the club today. Wilson has remarked, “When the pressures became greatest and volunteers were needed, literally 100 or more residents responded. Thousands of hours were given to make this effort a success. It would be improper to single out any individual as so many gave their time and efforts. The golf course purchase became a group and community effort.”

    As we have been often asked; ‘What has brought you young folks to Westbrook Village Golf Club?’ It didn’t take us long to respond. In first driving along Union Hills Road and having an opportunity at first glance to see the lovely manicured golf course. We then proceeded to tour the residential area. The cleanliness, friendliness and strong family values spoke loud and clear to both of us. It was a combination of safety and convenience with all the amenities one would ever wish for. All offered in the confines of a highly respected Golf Community! We have been welcomed by all of the Westbrook Golf and Country Clubs staff and their membership! They are accepting of all levels of golf. They instill fun, building relationships and making memories that truly last a lifetime. So to anybody that is considering the optimum privileges of living in the Peoria area and playing the “Greatest Sport”, look no further than the Westbrook Village Golf Club.

    We researched and visited many different golf communities in the Phoenix area for our retirement home. We were determined to find a golf course community where we could play unlimited golf for a good value and a club that was financially stable with board members that were committed to member value. We were impressed with the two championship golf courses, the well maintained facilities and the economy of the golf at Westbrook Village Golf Club. The Location of our home was very important to us. Here at Westbrook Village we are in close proximity to the airport, major shopping centers, sporting events, concerts, a variety of restaurants, Scottsdale and Downtown Phoenix. It was a perfect fit for us! Since we purchased our home, ten homes have been purchased in Westbrook Village by family and friends all of which have enjoyed the golf. We tell everyone Westbrook Village Golf Club is the best value and best kept secret in the Northwest Valley! Watch out for more Wyomingites! We all love it here, the weather is perfect!

Upon arrival at Westbrook Village Golf Community we found 2 pristine desert golf courses quietly nestled within an immaculate community of 3900 homes. The golf staff and members seemed so warm and friendly making us feel welcome and at home. Amenities beyond golf include two all inclusive recreational centers with various activities for everyone. The location of Westbrook Village provides us the complete “Southwest Lifestyle” as we hike several mountains nearby and enjoy the endless restaurants and shopping only 5 minutes outside our resort community. If your dreams are like ours, to retire early and “play the back nine of life”, visit this active resort- style golf community. At Westbrook Village Golf Club members become friends and the experience is unforgettable.

Wildlife

Coyotes, Javelinas, Owls, Hawks, Oh My!

Westbrook Village is located in a bustling city, yet the community is blessed with an abundance of wildlife that thrives in the arid desert landscape. Our residents have become accustomed to the presence of native coyote packs and the many predator hawks and owls that prey on the cottontail rabbits that can be found throughout the golf course. On occasion, we have even had the pleasure of hosting visiting javelina and fox, providing our residents with a glimpse of the area's natural beauty.

As a responsible community, we take great care in ensuring the safety of our residents and the wildlife that calls Westbrook Village home. Our staff regularly monitors the course and surrounding areas to ensure that our furry and feathered friends are not adversely impacted by the community's activities. We believe that coexisting with wildlife is an essential part of living in harmony with nature, and we encourage our residents to respect and appreciate the wildlife that surrounds us.
