Make the Most of Your Fort McDowell Stay

Cultural heritage meets desert luxury

Fort McDowell stands apart as a destination where indigenous sovereignty and modern resort excellence converge in the Sonoran Desert. The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation has transformed its ancestral lands into a premier getaway anchored by the AAA Four Diamond We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort, featuring 246 upscale rooms, a 166,000-square-foot casino floor, and the Amethyst Spa. The Cultural Center chronicles the tribe's remarkable 1981 victory over the proposed Orme Dam, preserving their homeland.

Championship golf and outdoor adventures

The We-Ko-Pa Golf Club delivers 2 nationally ranked courses—Cholla and Saguaro—distinguished by their pristine desert settings. Fort McDowell Adventures offers authentic Western experiences including cattle drives, horseback riding along the Verde River, and private desert cookouts. Ember, the resort's Wine Spectator-awarded steakhouse, serves wood-fired cuisine with a whiskey library.

Strategic desert location

Located 24 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Fort McDowell rewards visitors with access to Saguaro Lake, the Apache Trail, and the Mogollon Rim. The Verde River, one of Arizona's 2 Wild & Scenic Rivers, flows through the property offering kayaking and wildlife viewing. Book the resort as a base for exploring both greater Phoenix and the dramatic Tonto National Forest.
