The Golf Club at Dove Mountain - Tortolita/Wild Burro
Rating Snapshot
About
The desert foothills of the Tortolita Mountain Range provide the stunning backdrop for the three nines designed by Jack Nicklaus at The Golf Club at Dove Mountain. They are played in three different 18-hole combinations, one of them being Tortolita/Wild Burro. The Tortolita nine serves as the back nine for the PGA Tour's Accenture Match Play Championship, but Nicklaus considers Wild Burro to be the best of the three. Playing through canyons and desert washes, the golf course features dramatic elevation changes and stunning views. Tortolita's third hole has the highest elevation at the club while the ninth hole on Wild Burro is the longest finishing hole of any of the nines. The intricately contoured greens and strategic fairway bunkering provide a challenge for even experienced golfers.

#3 on Saguaro Photo submitted by timstaley on 10/25/2012
Too difficult
I guess if you're someone who hits it straight and far every shot, this is a fun course. For the rest of us, expect to lose 6-12 balls. Course was in great shape, just too penal for the casual golfer in my opinion.
Excellent Course
We found a great deal on Golf Now so decided to book a tee-time since we’ve been wanting to play Dove Mountain for quite some time The course is scenic and in great condition. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. Bottled ice water on the course was a nice touch. The sand in the bunkers was packed down making shots out challenging, but I suppose one could say to stay out of the bunkers. There are just so many, though, making the course difficult. Despite that, we would still go back. We had a lovely day! As a non-member, thank you for the opportunity to play!
Great greens
The course was in great shape and the greens rolled true with decent speed. I will definitely play here again.
Decent condition for a top course in Tucson. Pace a little slow. Haven't played it for about 2 years. Got to play the Accenture track...fun to play where the pros played!
Tucson must play
A great well kept golf club.
Play the correct tees and have a great round.
This is a fun place to play and beautiful too.
Great course
The course was in excellent condition despite a lot rain recently!
Golf Club at Dove Mountain
Would have rated the course higher but we were behind a tournament that we were not aware of when we made the tee time. When we made the turn they told us no one would be in front of us as the tournament would be over. However when we made the turn there were other people in front of us. The greens were perfect
Great course
Magnificent layout and conditions, 100% recommendable.
Great conditions
Finally this high end course lived up to expectations…greens were true and rolled well. Fairways were like carpets. Bare spots in general were few. Played front nine alone and back nine as part of a foursome …played in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Great day
Cart-path only
Beautiful course but especially exhausting due to recent rains. heat, and cart-path only. I got more than we paid for and enjoyed our round. We will be back! Staff was especially friendly.
Got lost several times
For some reason the signs that designate which hole ur at or headed to are missing on part of Sahuaro course, and in cart gps not ez to use . So got lost twice on Sahuaro course and twice on Wild Burro. No sign at end of Wild Burro to direct u back to clubhouse. Super friendly staff, great course conditions. For a bogey golfer like myself even the mid tees make for over 400 yd on some par 4s
