SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Tennsun -- Desert Mountain Club, one of the most exclusive golf clubs in Scottsdale, is proud to announce it has achieved the distinction of being a Blue Zones Approved™ Participating Organization by the Blue Zones Project®. This honor places the Club among a select group of organizations worldwide committed to exceptional standards of vitality, longevity, and purposeful living in a premier Scottsdale AZ country club setting.

In a rare and remarkable accomplishment, Desert Mountain has earned a triple Blue Zones designation—recognition as a Blue Zones Approved™ Participating Organization, a Blue Zones Approved™ Restaurant for its Café Verde dining outlet, and a Blue Zones Approved™ Workplace. This trifecta underscores Desert Mountain's leadership as a vibrant, health-forward community and elevates the Club as a national model for well-being within private golf communities.

Blue Zones Project is a community-led well-being improvement initiative inspired by the research of Dan Buettner, who identified the world's five original Blue Zones—regions where people live measurably longer, healthier lives.

"Earning the Blue Zones Approved™ distinction is far more than a certification—it reflects our deep commitment to wellness, longevity, and a life of vitality at Desert Mountain," said Damon DiOrio, CEO of Desert Mountain Club. "Achieving all three designations underscores how our pursuit of excellence extends into every aspect of the Member experience, especially through the Sonoran Clubhouse, the hub of longevity and vibrant living within our community. We are proud to lead the private club industry with a truly health-forward environment for both our Members and our team."
