About TucsonOften overlooked in favor of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area about 90 minutes north, Tucson, Arizona holds its own and then some as a golf destination. With a little more elevation than the Valley of the Sun, Tucson is slightly cooler in the late spring, summer and fall, making it a good year-round golf destination.
Although Tucson doesn't have nearly as many golf resorts as Scottsdale, Tucson resorts certainly hold their own, starting with Casino Del Sol and its $25 million Sewailo golf course designed by former PGA Tour player Notah Begay III and Ty Butler.
The area is also home to Tubac Golf Resort & Spa, where much of the movie "Tin Cup" was filmed, as well as the former home of the Tucson Open, the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa, and the current home of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championships at The Golf Club at Dove Mountain. In addition, Tucson boasts one of the country's better municipal golf scenes, led by the two golf courses at historic Randolph Park.

Articles about this destination from our expert editorial staff
Municipal golf courses are battling the struggles of the golf industry, developers, aging infrastructure and government budget shortfalls to stay open and serve their communities.
Arizona's Sewailo was among the nation's top-rated for the week of April 4. View the top course rankings on Golf Advisor.
Tucson's Ventana Canyon Golf Club leads a field full of high-end courses in this edition of GolfAdvisor's top-rated courses of the week.
We took the 2013-14 ratings of golf courses across the U.S. to seek out the most improved courses coast-to-coast. The biggest improvement, based on ratings from GolfAdvisor users, was Tucson's Arizona National Golf Club.
A reader heading to Tucson asks: "Sewailo or Dove Mountain if you can only play once?" It's a great question because both have pristine conditions, both excel in customer service and both are beautiful.
With 42 PGA Tour wins, Phil Mickelson has won on public and resort courses. You don't have to play left-handed but you can follow in his footsteps.
Sewailo Golf Club, Notah Begay III/Ty Butler-design located at the Pascua Yaqui Tribe's Casino Del Sol Resort, is the first course to open in Tucson since the Golf Club at Dove Mountain, former home to the WGC-Accenture Match Play. Sewailo is more parkland than typical Arizona target golf, David R. Holland writes. It features multiple streams and creeks with four waterfalls designed to be as natural looking as possible, and is loaded with more than 30,000 plants and native flowers.
If you're looking for value in your golf vacation, here's something you might want to consider: Travel to Tucson, Arizona and play the munis. Tucson has some of the best golf weather in the U.S. and one of the better municipal golf systems. Nobody's saying that Tucson's best munis are as good as Torrey Pines or Beth Page Black, but they are very good values. In fact, while the resort courses approach $200 during peak season, Tucson's munis are well less than $50. And the golf is pretty stout.
