The Golf Club at Dove Mountain - Wild Burro/Saguaro

About
Nestled in the desert foothills of the Tortolita Mountain Range, the 27 holes at The Golf Club at Dove Mountain feature dramatic elevation changes and stunning views. The three nines were all designed by Jack Nicklaus and are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Wild Burro/Saguaro golf course combines Nicklaus' favorite nine, Wild Burro, with the front nine of the Accenture Match Play Championship. The golf course features intricately contoured greens and carefully placed fairway bunkers. The course plays through canyons and desert washes covered in centuries-old Saguaro cacti. The third, fourth and fifth holes on the Wild Burro nine are notably challenging with the third featuring an "island green" standing amidst sand and cacti.

#3 on Saguaro Photo submitted by timstaley on 10/25/2012
Too difficult
I guess if you're someone who hits it straight and far every shot, this is a fun course. For the rest of us, expect to lose 6-12 balls. Course was in great shape, just too penal for the casual golfer in my opinion.
Excellent Course
We found a great deal on Golf Now so decided to book a tee-time since we’ve been wanting to play Dove Mountain for quite some time The course is scenic and in great condition. The staff was very friendly and service was excellent. Bottled ice water on the course was a nice touch. The sand in the bunkers was packed down making shots out challenging, but I suppose one could say to stay out of the bunkers. There are just so many, though, making the course difficult. Despite that, we would still go back. We had a lovely day! As a non-member, thank you for the opportunity to play!
Tucson must play
A great well kept golf club.
Play the correct tees and have a great round.
This is a fun place to play and beautiful too.
Great greens
The course was in great shape and the greens rolled true with decent speed. I will definitely play here again.
Great course
The course was in excellent condition despite a lot rain recently!
Golf Club at Dove Mountain
Would have rated the course higher but we were behind a tournament that we were not aware of when we made the tee time. When we made the turn they told us no one would be in front of us as the tournament would be over. However when we made the turn there were other people in front of us. The greens were perfect
Great course
Magnificent layout and conditions, 100% recommendable.
Cart-path only
Beautiful course but especially exhausting due to recent rains. heat, and cart-path only. I got more than we paid for and enjoyed our round. We will be back! Staff was especially friendly.
Great conditions
Finally this high end course lived up to expectations…greens were true and rolled well. Fairways were like carpets. Bare spots in general were few. Played front nine alone and back nine as part of a foursome …played in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Great day
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.
