History

The property originally opened in 1957 as Paradise Valley Racquet Club, before its owners, actor John Ireland, actress Joanne Dru, Sydney Chaplin, and tennis legend Don Budge, sold the property to Russell Jackson and William O'Brien. Russell Jackson's son, Vick Jackson, recruited tennis star John Gardiner as a consultant in 1967.

The Paradise Valley Racquet Club was renovated and renamed John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch in 1970. Now both a resort and membership club, the property featured 41 casitas, 12 casas, and 21 tennis courts. John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch started an annual Senator's Cup, which included matches between Democratic and Republican senators with all the proceeds going to Hospice of the Valley. Gardiner sold his share in the resort in 1993. The resort went through several names before opening as Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain in 2001.
