Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain

Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain is a 27 hole golf resort facility located in Marana, Arizona. The facility has three 9-hole courses that can be combined for three different 18-hole golf course experiences.

The course first opened for play (unofficially) in late 2008. The courses were designed by Jack Nicklaus.

This Jack Nicklaus Signature Design presents unique challenges and distinct character. The course sits unobtrusively among the noble saguaro cactus that line the surrounding Tortolita Mountain Range.

Nicklaus tailored the course for world-class competition - specifically a home for the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, which in 2009 maked its debut at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain.

The golf courses is accessible only by resident members and resort guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain

The course features large greens with significant undulation, wide fairways and carries over desert washes define each course. The bunkering varies from classic, pot-style obstacles to expansive areas that stretch close to 80 yards along the edges of the fairways. The golf courses feature Bentgrass greens, while the tees, fairways and rough are Bermuda (with perennial rye overseed), ideal for the desert climate. An additional nine holes are planned.
