Maloof, Jr., Tiger Woods, Toni Braxton, Steve Wynn, Reggie Jackson, LeBron James, Baron Davis, Brian Kelley, and Rudy Ruettiger have purchased homes inside the golf club as of 2008. During the grand opening of the club, former president Bill Clinton introduced the country club and Donald Trump has been sighted playing on the course. This extensive list of celebrities has led to some to refer to it as a "small Beverly Hills." The neighborhood features many of the most lavish estates in the western United States including the America West famed "Chirstopher Mansion." The country club also has a full service spa, complete with a 4,000 square foot exercise facility, spa treatments, an Olympic size pool, concierge services, and a 24 hour guard gate with roaming security.
