Hip and Knee Pain at One of Arizona's Most Celebrated Golf Addresses

Estancia is one of Scottsdale’s most prestigious private communities — a guard-gated enclave built around the Tom Fazio-designed Estancia Club course, consistently ranked the number one golf course in Arizona and among the finest in the United States. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Pinnacle Peak and the McDowell Mountains, Estancia offers a lifestyle defined by exceptional golf, world-class desert scenery, and the privacy of one of Scottsdale’s most exclusive addresses. Hip and knee pain can quietly erode access to everything Estancia offers. When the joint that carries you through a round on the Fazio course or along Pinnacle Peak Trail starts failing, the lifestyle this community represents becomes harder to access. Dr. Brandon Gough is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon practicing in North Scottsdale — minutes from Estancia’s gates — who specializes in minimally invasive, robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement. He has performed more than 8,000 procedures since 2013. Most of his patients walk the same day as surgery and go home within 24 hours.

When Hip or Knee Pain Takes Over Estancia Life

Estancia is a community where the golf course is the center of everything — and where the surrounding desert landscape makes outdoor living a year-round privilege. Hip and knee pain doesn’t just affect your body here — it affects your access to the Fazio course, the Pinnacle Peak trails, and the standard of living that defines this address. When pain from osteoarthritis, joint damage, or a failed previous replacement reaches the point where non-surgical treatments are no longer helping, joint replacement surgery may be the right step forward. Dr. Gough’s approach — robotic precision, muscle-sparing technique, same-day discharge — is designed to minimize the gap between surgery and getting back to Estancia life at full capacity.
