Kierland is located in Scottsdale, the county of Maricopa and the state of Arizona.

Regarding golf, this club has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. Many spectacular views of the surrounding mountains can be seen from off the course. There are elevation changes up to eighty feet, so be prepared for many uneven lies. All three courses are comparable in difficulty. The landing areas are generous, and there are some parallel fairways. The greens are medium-sized and full of subtle undulations. The signature holes are #7 and #9 on the Acacia Course, #9on the Mesquite Course, and #9 on the Ironwood Course. Of these four signature holes, the most difficult is hole #9 on the Mesquite Course, a 427-yard, par 4,requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee to a fairly generous landing area, then an approach shot to a green that is guarded by six bunkers and a lake.

Kierland is supported by the Paradise Valley School District. Below are the specific schools supporting Kierland.
