It's
"target" "desert golf at its finest"
on this "must for visitors to the Tucson area",
where Tom Weiskopf has crafted a "tasteful co-existence
of housing and golf"; it's "almost impossible
from the tips", and if you "try to be a he-man
on No. 8, you will end up all wet", but it's "playable"
and "enjoyable" nonetheless - just "beware
snakes" and "cart-path-only days." |

Profile: Located about 1 hour south of Phoenix and minutes North of
Tucson in Oro Valley, this desert course was built atop the
natural landscape. The fairways afford generous landing areas,
and the traditional greens are fast and well bunkered. Hole
#8, a 389-yard, par 4, features a lake, which is the only
water hazard on the course. The most difficult hole is #5,
a 431-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot over a desert waste
area while simultaneously avoiding the desert island on the
right. The approach shot has a backdrop featuring the scenic
Catalina Mountains. "Golf Digest" nominated this
as the 14th "Best in State" course for 1997-98.
If you wish to use the driving range, you must play a round
of golf.
