The Golf Club at Dove Mountain sits in the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains north of Tucson. Three distinct nine-hole segments wind across desert floor and rocky outcrops, each shaped by the natural contours of the land. Fairways are defined by native desert plants and occasional washes that cut across the terrain, while elevated tees and greens provide varied sight lines. The course was developed with input from Jack Nicklaus, whose design choices emphasize shot placement over distance, requiring players to account for elevation changes, wind exposure, and desert vegetation that borders many landing areas. The setting includes wide views of surrounding peaks and valleys, and the layout integrates natural drainage patterns and existing rock formations. Maintenance practices focus on desert-adapted grasses and water conservation consistent with the arid environment.
