Tucson Offers Luxury Golf

If you’re a golf aficionado (and if you’re reading this, then the chances are high that you are…), then Tucson is definitely the city for you. The beauty of the Arizonan climate is the mild winters, which allow for golfing to occur year-round. With over thirty golf courses in Tucson and the surrounding area, there is bound to be a course that matches up with your skill level. One of the more famous of the Tucson luxury golf real estate in the area is located in the town of Marana at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. This course, contained within the property of the Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain, is the home of the World Golf Championships – Accenture Match Play Championship, which is held (and nationally televised) every February.

The community of Oro Valley, located just a few miles northwest of Tucson, is home to some of the finest golf courses in the southwest. Oro Valley’s five golf courses – El Conquistador Country Club, Golf Club at Vistoso, Oro Valley Country Club, Stone Canyon Club and Sun City Vistoso – each provide a unique game, which means that golfers have several options to pick from when choosing their course. These courses have been formally recognized for the experience they provide – in fact, Golf Club at Vistoso has been rated as the best public course in southern Arizona, while the Stone Canyon Club has garnered rankings such as #21 of the “Top 100 Residential Courses” by Golfweek, #68 on Golf Digest’s “Greatest 100 Golf Courses in the USA,” and #2 in the state of Arizona by Golf Digest (Arizona).

In addition, Tucson also features a number of private and semi-private golf courses, including the Forty Niner Country Club. Situated between two spectacular mountain ranges, this semi-private course has been recently renovated and is sure to appeal to golfers of all levels of expertise. According to their website, the course’s fifth hole is the most difficult, which allows players who struggle with it the chance to better their score on the back nine.
