Greater Phoenix mahjong is centered on Scottsdale, where instructors and clubs run group lessons, private lessons, and league play. Gilbert and Phoenix proper each have instructors of their own, so most of the valley is within reach of a weekly game.
If you want competition with your company, the Scottsdale Mahjong Society and The Mahj Clubs both run leagues alongside lessons. The Holland Center hosts group lessons and club play in Scottsdale.
These are the Phoenix area instructors, studios, and clubs we have verified from their own public pages so far. New to the game? The free American Mahjong trainers teach the tiles and the Charleston before your first lesson.
