Thanks to technological advancements, sustainable and eco-friendly homes have grown more popular over the years. Here are six sustainable housing trends to watch.

Sustainable Housing Trends

1. Energy-Efficient Features

More and more homes are implementing cost-effective, energy-efficient features. While high-performance features come with initial upfront costs, the investment reduces operating costs in the long run and improves quality of life. These state-of-the-art features provide a safe and healthy indoor environment for you and your family.

2. Solar Energy

Installing solar panels on homes helps power your home while helping you save money on your energy bills, earn tax credits or rebates, and decrease your carbon footprint.

3. AeroBarrier

AeroBarrier is a revolutionary sealing technology that fills gaps as tiny as a hair follicle that can leak energy. Reduced envelope leakage means improved energy efficiency, less dust, fewer pests, and less outdoor pollution entering your home.

4. High Efficiency Windows

At Wickenburg Ranch, our homes use windows with a low U-factor. The U-factor is a value indicating the insulation performance of the window. The lower the U-factor, the greater a window’s resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating properties.

5. Architectural Shading

The front entry and extended covered patios on Wickenburg Ranch Homes are designed to shield doors and windows from direct sunlight.

6. LED Lighting

High efficiency LED lighting is included in your Wickenburg Ranch home. LED lights not only have superior energy efficiency, but they also have an exceptionally long operating lifespan.

Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club is at the center of Arizona’s most dramatic Sonoran Desert terrain. Our golf course tumbles across rolling hills, stretching over 7,000 yards from the rear tees. Each hole offers a different challenge thanks to the varying elevations and strategically placed bunkers. Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club opened to rave reviews, and according to Golf Advisor, it may be one of the best golf courses in Arizona. With that said, Wickenburg is a legitimate golf destination.

Wickenburg Ranch Golf Courses

Big Wick

The championship course, Big Wick, took seven years to groom and refine for the ultimate game of golf. Designed by Bill Brownlee and Wendell Pickett, the course features five par 3s and five par 5s. Golfers can expect elevated tees, sloping greens, and plenty of scenery, including Prescott National Forest and Vulture Peak. Today, the course holds its place among the country’s best golf experiences. In fact, Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club’s Big Wick Course has been voted No. 1 in the United States for Course Conditions and No. 9 overall in a ranking of the Top 50 Courses in the U.S. by Golf Advisor.

Li’l Wick

Big Wick Named Top Course in the U.S.

Golfers have spoken! Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club’s Big Wick Course received top honors from Golf Advisor, the leading authority of golf course ratings and reviews by golfers, for golfers. In the website’s list of best courses of 2017, Big Wick was voted No. 1 in the United States for course conditions, No. 1 golf course in Arizona, and No. 9 overall in a ranking of the Top 50 Courses in the U.S.

Gold Advisor received more than 144,000 golf course ratings and reviews from our golfer community in 2018, and 2,800 U.S. courses received enough reviews to be considered for their list.

According to Golf Advisor, course scores are based on a combination of the star-ratings of their value, conditions, layout, pace of play, friendliness and off-course amenities. To be considered for Golf Advisor’s best-of rankings, courses need at least ten reviews throughout the year.

“We are honored that Big Wick is ranked on these Golf Advisor lists,” said Bill Brownlee, a development partner in Wickenburg Ranch and a co-designer of the Big Wick. “We artfully designed both courses to ensure that Wickenburg Ranch is among the state’s most enjoyable and elite golf experiences, and our presence on these lists is proof of that.”
