Dorado Golf Course in Tucson, Arizona, sits on flat desert terrain with wide fairways bordered by mature mesquite and palo verde trees. The layout features several long par-4 holes that play into prevailing westerly winds, and a pair of par-5s that require accurate tee shots to avoid the deep sand bunkers placed short of the greens. Water hazards appear on four holes, including a large pond that guards the left side of the 9th green and a narrow creek that crosses the 14th fairway. The greens are TifEagle bermudagrass, kept firm and moderately fast, with subtle slopes that reward approach shots played below the hole. A driving range and short-game area sit adjacent to the clubhouse, and a cart path circles the perimeter of the property, allowing easy access between holes. The course is open year-round, with peak play occurring from November through April when daytime temperatures are moderate.
