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
Hole signs
We got turned around a couple of times and lost on #9 Sahuaro! The direction and hole signs could be clearer. Especially for 1st timers. Other then that, great experience!

Thanks for being on GolfNow! Challenging course very challenging saguaro finishing hole!
Beautiful design and lay out.
When I booked the tee time I had very high expectations as I have heard many good reviews of this course. As I played hole to hole every expectation of mine were unbelievable. The course, grounds the staff were over the top. Views were incredible. I will be back soon.

Very challenging, can play really long if you want. Many golfers have the worst round of their year here!
Thanks for listing on Golfnow
My favorite course in the area due to the layout
I've played this course 4 or 5 times over the past couple summers and truly enjoy the layout. It plays long, some forgiveness on its fairways and the views are outstanding. The ONLY issue right now with the course is the dryness of its fairways and around the greens due to the dry summer weather we've had.
Outstanding location with excellent desert views
This is a championship course that used to be on the PGA tour. A challenging course for the average golfer.
Course as not in good condition
Course was dry, too many dry spots for the price of playing. I know it is summer and water is important in the desert but I just played other courses that have way better grass conditions. Better to play this in winter when course and weather will make it a better experience.
Bad shape
This is a premiere course that was in worse shape than a cow pasture.
Great Course
Jack Nicholas designed course……. Need I say more! Very challenging course, accuracy is very important. Beautiful and well maintained.
Golf Course was in excellent shape a pleasure to play
Outstanding Design
Very Challenging design. It is a must play at least 3x. The first time a person is on training wheels. When a target is selected, you don't know if there is a hazard area right where you think the ideal drive might be. Approach shots are almost always uphill, making the course longer. The fairways were not very lush. The greens have been punched and sanded and are running true and maybe a 10.5 on the stimp. I just moved to Tucson and this will be a regular stop, especially with guests in town.
Great facility, course, and staff
Course was in great shape, staff very courteous and helpful, and the layout is challenging without being a killer!
Thanks Matt.
Shout out the to GM Matt. Matt went above and beyond to take care of our group. Much appreciated!!
