Colorado Resort Operator Snaps Up Trio Of Arizona Golf Getaways

A Durango, Colorado-based resort operator is taking over a trio of Arizona’s best known golf escapes. Mountain Capital Partners has a deal to acquire The Arizona Hideaway Collection from the Allred family, shifting three long-running resorts and their golf courses into new hands. The purchase bundles Tubac Golf Resort & Spa, Sedona Golf Resort and Rancho Mañana Golf Club under the Mountain Capital Partners umbrella, and both buyer and seller say existing reservations, memberships and group events will all be honored. The sale is being framed as a family-to-family handoff between two groups with deep roots in mountain and resort hospitality.

According to Phoenix Business Journal, Mountain Capital Partners is buying the three properties alongside an affiliated fund, Texas Capital Partners, with details announced Wednesday. The outlet also reports that The Hermosa Inn, another Allred-owned property in Paradise Valley, is not part of the deal and will remain outside this transaction.

What’s in the sale

The package stretches across the state: Tubac Golf Resort & Spa in southern Arizona, Sedona Golf Resort set against red rock views, and Rancho Mañana Golf Club in Cave Creek, which evolved from a 1940s dude ranch into a championship course. The collection’s own site lays out each property’s lodging, dining and golf options and highlights the Allred family’s focus on preservation, a big reason these spots are often billed as historic hideaways.

Buyer will keep teams and bookings

Mountain Capital Partners says it plans to keep current management and operating teams in place and to honor all existing reservations, memberships and wedding or group events, according to Club + Resort Business. Kuzi Mutsiwegota, who oversees golf operations for MCP, called the deal a personal one and said, “We're so grateful to Mike Allred for entrusting us to be the stewards in the next chapter of these assets' already wonderful journey,” as reported by Snowsports News.

What this could mean for Arizona

Headquartered in Durango, Mountain Capital Partners already runs a growing slate of ski areas, bike parks and golf operations, including Arizona Snowbowl, and the company notes it has put significant money into past acquisitions. That track record suggests the new owners may look at capital projects and operational upgrades at the Arizona properties as part of a broader push to build a year-round outdoor recreation portfolio. Background on the operator and its approach is available at MCP.

For now the resorts remain open and are taking bookings, with tee times and event inquiries still routed through each property’s website. Mountain Capital Partners says it will share more details in the coming months about its specific plans, including any integration with its Power Pass, and the owners say they expect a smooth transition that keeps local teams in place and regular guests largely unaffected.
