PHOENIX – Mountain Capital Partners, alongside affiliated fund Texas Capital Partners, have announced the forthcoming acquisition of The Arizona Hideaway Collection from the Allred Family – a portfolio of three landmark Arizona resort and golf destinations: Tubac Golf Resort & Spa, Sedona Golf Resort, and Rancho Mañana Golf Club.
The acquisition broadens MCP’s year-round outdoor recreation footprint across the Southwest, bringing its Arizona golf portfolio to five courses.
The Allred Family has shaped Arizona’s hospitality landscape for decades – and their legacy in outdoor recreation runs deeper still. Before founding The Arizona Hideaway Collection, the Allreds helped transform Telluride, Colorado into a world-class ski destination in the late 1970s through the late 1990s, making this a transaction between two families rooted in mountain and resort hospitality.
Together, the three properties represent some of the most recognized resort and golf destinations in Arizona, each with its own distinct character. Tubac Golf Resort & Spa has welcomed guests since 1959. Sedona Golf Resort, set among the state’s iconic red rock formations, is consistently ranked among Arizona’s finest public courses. Rancho Mañana Golf Club, built on a historic 1940s dude ranch in Cave Creek, has been recognized by Golf Digest as a Top 50 Course for Women and a Top 10 Arizona course.
“My father and I spent decades building places that we believe in – places with history, character, and a sense of belonging,” said Mike Allred, President and CFO of The Arizona Hideaway Collection. “Passing the Collection to Mountain Capital Partners feels right because of the passion they have for these assets and what they represent. They understand what it means to be the keeper of something people love.
“We’re proud of what these properties are, and we’re confident in what they will become.”
The Hermosa Inn, also owned by the Allred family, is not included in this transaction and will continue under the family’s ownership.
The third-largest ski resort company in the United States by number of resorts, MCP owns and manages Arizona Snowbowl in Flagstaff, and has operated in Arizona for more than three decades.
Since acquiring its Show Low golf properties in 2023, MCP has invested significantly in capital improvements, refined operations, and grown the golf business to over twice its original size at purchase in under three years.
The acquisition is led by MCP partner Kuzi Mutsiwegota, who oversees the company’s golf operations. Raised in Zimbabwe inside his father’s world of luxury safari hospitality, and with his mother – a historian from Abilene, Texas with a deep love of the Southwest – Mutsiwegota brings a rare lens to resort stewardship.
Together with his wife, Silvia, Mutsiwegota has called Arizona home for many years, making this acquisition as personal as it is professional.
“My partners and I are excited to continue on our journey of striving to share the feeling of presence, clarity, freedom, and pure happiness that comes from experiencing majestic landscapes and being treated in a way where you feel absolutely seen,” Mutsiwegota said. “We’re so grateful to Mike Allred for entrusting us to be the stewards in the next chapter of these assets’ already wonderful journey.”
James Coleman, founder and managing partner of Mountain Capital Partners, sees The Arizona Hideaway Collection as a natural extension of MCP’s vision.
“We are fueled by freedom, happiness and purpose, and those aren’t limited to ski areas,” Coleman said. “When we’re not skiing, we’re mountain biking, exploring trails, rafting rivers – and of course, golfing. We are anchored in skiing and snowboarding, and that will never change – but we are also more. The Arizona Hideaway Collection is proof of that.”
Current management and operating teams at all three properties will be retained. All existing reservations, memberships, wedding and group events will be honored without disruption. Mutsiwegota said MCP will share more about its plans for the properties, including Power Pass integration, in the coming months.
Tubac Golf Resort & Spa, Sedona Golf Resort, and Rancho Mañana Golf Club remain open and welcoming guests.
