Everyone loves a relaxing day in the sun, and some people prefer them best on the greens of the golf course links. Being as that there are more sunny days in Arizona than most places, makes it an optimal location to practice those swings. Here are the top golf courses in the Tucson area!
Starr Pass Golf Club
These links share a property with the beautiful JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa on the west side of Tucson. With three nine-hole courses on-site, golfers at all skill levels can test their abilities with the majestic desert scenery in the background.
Sewailo Golf Club
When the Pascua Yaqui tribe decided to build a golf course outside the Casino Del Sol, they knew it should highlight the beauty of the desert, and it does. It’s challenging yet one of the best in the state.
Ventana Canyon Golf & Racquet Club
The Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is not only one of the top hotels in Tucson, but it’s known for the three stunning golf courses on-site too. It’s been rated as a AAA Four-Diamond property and attracts thousands of visitors annually.
Quarry Pines Golf Club
This modest golf course’s distinctive feature is the fact that its back nine holes are built in and around a quarry, giving it a lot of unique character, radical elevation changes, and shot-shaping challenges galore.
The Golf Club at Dove Mountain
Designed by Jack Nicklaus himself, Dove Mountain is without doubt one of the area’s most popular courses. For many years, it hosted the WGC-Accenture Match Play tournament that drew in celebrities like Tiger Woods to town.
Tubac Golf Resort and Spa
This beautiful 27-hole course is just south of Tucson in the little town of Tubac, and is famously recognized for being the filming location of the hit film “Tin Cup” starring Kevin Costner and Don Johnson.
Arizona National Golf Club
Another challenging, but extremely beautiful and well taken care of golf course in Tucson. Not only is it a favorite of visiting players, but it’s also home to the University of Arizona’s men’s and women’s golf teams.
