Tucson Golf Guide

Tucson Fitting naturally into the Sonoran high desert punctuated by forests of centuries-old Saguaro cacti, Tucson's two dozen courses flow over a landscape of dry sage, box canyons, mesquite-lined arroyos, rugged rock outcroppings and endless stretches of sand colored by desert flowers.

Set against a backdrop of the every-changing subtly-hued mountains, the majority of Tucson's tracks are centerpieces for posh resorts like Loews Ventana Canyon, Omni Tucson National Resort and the ranch-style Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain. Most come with impressive pedigrees of renown architects like Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Fazio, Tom Weiskopf and Jack Nicklaus

Still there are more inexpensive low-key tracks like Turquoise Hills, an executive course and Quarry Pines Golf Club, a daily fee layout where most holes run beneath the rim of an old stone quarry.

Unlike the newer contemporary designs, the Arizona National Golf, home course for University of Arizona's golf teams, is more traditional by Robert Trent Jones Jr. with fairways flowing up and down the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains

There is a lot of history here to explore from pre-historic Native American settlements to Wild West boomtowns. For example at Dove Mountain, look for petroglyphs left by the Hohokam Native Americans more than 2,000 years ago and hike the trails behind the JW Marriott Starr Pass Tucson Resort & Spa, home to 27 holes of Arnold Palmer Signature Golf.

Visit the Sonoran Desert Museum where animals of the southwest like mountain lions and Gila monsters and for authentic Mexican cuisine and book a table at La Parrilla Suiza. It has an open kitchen where you can watch your meal being grilled and tortillas being made.
