Marana: A Golf Oasis in the Desert
From buddies’ trips to bucket-list outings, Marana’s world-class golf scene has every player covered. A golfer’s paradise, indeed.
Desert golf is unique. It’s a test of skills in all facets of the game, and is something that every player should attempt to master. With its four championship-level golf courses providing a golf oasis in the desert, Marana has been called a golfer’s paradise, where players will enjoy rolling greens and fairways lined with iconic saguaro cacti – all of it combined with panoramic views of the desert, mountains, and the endless blue skies for which Southern Arizona is famous.
Marana is just a short drive from both Tucson and Phoenix, striking a nice balance between the suburban hustle and serene wild desert that many golfers crave when planning their Arizona golf adventure. Each of Marana’s courses has something unique to offer, from the premier luxury of the Golf Club at Dove Mountain; the amazing views overlooking Marana, the Tucson Mountains, and the Tortolita Mountains of the Gallery Golf Club; the convenient location and many facilities of The Highlands at Dove Mountain; to the innovative reuse of an old stone quarry at Quarry Pines. Simply put: Marana has something to fit every golfer’s taste. Bring your friends and your A-Game if you want to conquer these courses, because golf in Marana is always above par.
