It is a major suburb of Phoenix. According to 2010 Census Bureau releases, the population of the city is 154,065.

Size Matters ATV UTV Rentals and Tours, LLC

I believe Arizona is the best state in the country for public land use. We have some of the most beautiful desert in the world, as well, we have four ecosystems. Many states have only one. Over sixty percent of the state is public land which is laced with fire, mining and DOT roads. ATVs & UTVs are often the only means of accessibility to these remote treasures and this is what we do.

Quintero Golf Club

Reviewed By CoachJDC - Bethesda, United States

This is worth the trip and worth the $$. About 45 min from downtown Scottsdale. As a Troon card member, I received what I consider a very reasonable rate for what I consider one of the best manicured, but remote courses I have played. T boxes to fairways were impeccable.... the views are jaw-dropping and golf challenging but fair. I was greeted professionally and positively at the clubhouse by Emily. The manager even came over and welcomed my son and I to Quintero. The anticipation, just driving the cart seven minutes to the practice area heightens the senses to the upcoming golf experience. Get there early, great practice area. The starter was kind and professional giving us some tips on which tees to play for our game and encouraging us to take some time on the putting green (running 11.5) Take your camera for some of the best views of any desert course I have ever experienced. The par 3s are seen from elevated boxes with some of them over water to boot. If you hit the fairway with your T shot the course does tend to feed your ball to the center....but miss the fairway and say goodbye to the ball. There is NOTHING else out here except the course and the desert landscape.. ENJOY. IF you can't afford the AM, then take advantage of the PM rate... worth every penny and extremely memorable.
