Marana is Houses a Plethora of Tucson Golf Real Estate

Nestled near Interstate 10 just northwest of Tucson real estate, the town of Marana enjoys a wealth of beautiful Arizona homes and real estate, along with a plethora of championship golf courses. In fact, golf enthusiasts will be delighted to know that the Marana is home to more than just stunning scenery and solitude: it truly boasts some of the state’s finest places to play golf.

One of the most prominent courses in Marana is the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain located on the grounds of the luxurious Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain hotel. With 27 holes designed by Jack Nicklaus and breathtaking views of the Tortolita Mountains in the distance, this highly touted, saguaro-ensconced course made Golfweek magazine’s 2010 list of “Best Resort Golf Courses” and “Best Courses You Can Play – Arizona,” and it also received several accolades in 2009. The resort is the current home of the World Golf Championships’ Accenture Match Play Championship, which brings 64 of the top players in the world to town each February.

Looking for an unusual setting for your game? Check out the Pines Golf Club at Marana, a unique 18-hole layout that came to fruition about ten years ago. After plans for an old sand and gravel quarry were abandoned, ten holes from the adjacent popular golf club were relocated in the quarry and the other eight holes were redesigned around the pit. The result is the state’s first quarry course, which not only offers challenges with its varying elevation and multitude of trees, but also appealing vistas of the surrounding desert and mountains. The holes range in difficulty, so golfers of all levels will enjoy this outing.

Both of these award-winning, high Sonoran desert treats have gained national attention for the experiences they provide. They made Golfweek’s “Best Residential Courses” list, with the North ranked at No. 84 and the South at No. 88. Additionally, the South snagged the No. 31 spot on Golfweek’s “Best New Courses” li
