The Golf Club at Dove Mountain - Tucson, Arizona

Last week Matt Kuchar lifted the trophy at the 2013 WGC Matchplay Play Championship, hosted by the Golf Club at Dove Mountain. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Tortolita Mountains, this exclusive golf club offers visitors 18 excellent holes of golf in beautiful and unique surroundings.

Located just north of Tucson, Arizona, Dove Mountain is a golfing community that is home to just over 3000 families, with a golf-friendly climate that boasts sunny weather for most of the year.  At the heart of this golf-loving community lies The Golf Club – an exclusive Ritz-Carlton resort that caters for golfers of all skill levels.

Designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, the Golf Club course is the jewel of Dove Mountain. With its 27 holes set against the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains, this course combines beauty and the challenge of playing a lengthy and often tricky golf course.

The Nicklaus design allows professionals to show off their advanced skills while providing a challenging but playable layout for weekend golfers. An impressive feature of the course is its 45 000 square foot clubhouse which is fully-equipped and luxuriously appointed.

Golfers who intend to challenge themselves on this internationally renowned course should bear in mind that the course is open to members first, with any extra tee times being allocated to guests at the Ritz-Carlton resort. For this reason, bookings are essential.

Fortunately for golfers visiting Dove Mountain, a wealth of golfing opportunities is available in this unique golf-oriented community. The Ritz-Carlton resort boasts two other 18 hole golf courses – the Gallery Golf and Sports Club and the Highlands at Dove Mountain.

These courses offer an enjoyable round of golf to weekend golfers and may provide a relaxing alternative to the Golf Club course for golfers who plan to stay at Dove Mountain for an extended period. The Gallery course boasts a state-of-the-art sports club with excellent spa facilities, completing the Dove Mountain experience for golfers and their families.
