The Residence Club at PGA West
See The Residence Club at PGA WEST through Mark Miller’s original aerial photos of villas, landscaped grounds and the shared recreation setting.
The Residence Club at PGA WEST forms a compact enclave of tile-roof villas around landscaped interior grounds. Mark Miller’s aerial photographs show the whole arrangement, then move closer to the homes, pathways, putting areas and pool setting.
A vacation-home enclave seen from above
The November 9, 2026 collection captures a clear neighborhood pattern: curving streets around the outside, homes looking toward planted open space, and recreation areas woven into the center. Closer frames show covered patios, private outdoor spaces and the architectural consistency of the villas.
Understand which ownership interest is offered
The Residence Club includes both fractional and full-ownership homes. Its official ownership FAQ explains the distinction. A fractional interest comes with its own reservation and use arrangements, so compare the actual interest, governing documents, ongoing costs and included services for the offering you are considering.
This gallery documents the setting. It does not advertise a particular ownership share or promise club privileges. For more context around the larger destination, open our PGA WEST home buying study guide.
