Nestled in the desert foothills of the Tortolita Mountain Range, the 27 holes at The Golf Club at Dove Mountain feature dramatic elevation changes and stunning views. The three nines were all designed by Jack Nicklaus and are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Wild Burro/Saguaro golf course combines Nicklaus' favorite nine, Wild Burro, with the front nine of the Accenture Match Play Championship. The golf course features intricately contoured greens and carefully placed fairway bunkers. The course plays through canyons and desert washes covered in centuries-old Saguaro cacti. The third, fourth and fifth holes on the Wild Burro nine are notably challenging with the third featuring an "island green" standing amidst sand and cacti.

Challenging Course with wonderful views
I have played here many times and find it difficult to score well. One bad shot can really lead to a big number.
Despite that, it is fun to play, and has outstanding views of the Tucson area.

Everything as expected during the off season. I believe the threat of rare monsoon rain kept many away making for a very enjoyable day.
