Arizona National Golf Course

November 30th, 2007 categories: Tucson Golf Courses

Arizona National Golf Course is one of Tucson’s finer mountain courses. Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1995. The Arizona National Course has seen young University of Arizona Golfers named Lorena Ochoa, Natalie Gulbis, and Rory Sabatini. Other famous UofA alumni are Annika Sorenstam and Jim Furyk. While playing this course you may have the pleasure of meeting up and coming players who will fill your TV screen with the magical control of that beloved golf ball. Gracing the foothills of the Catalina mountains Arizona National offers scenic views of the valley below, the mountains above and the beauty of desert vegetation surrounding the course. The majestic panoramic views will entice you to return.

The challenge starts with the first hole. A 393 yard par 4 with fairway bunker 269 yards from the tee. As you land just left of the bunker, leaving you with a nine iron shot for a 126 yard shot to the two tier green to be on in two. Your perfect distance for your nine iron. Having landed 4 feet from the hole. You one putt to start your day with your first birdie. You confidence is high, the view is spectacular, what more could you ask for?

What Do Golfers Want On A Website?

October 14th, 2007 categories: Tucson Golf Courses

Trying to get information about golf courses can be a challenge in and of itself. Since all of my articles provide links for readers to get more information about golf courses around Tucson I have seen a variety of different levels of websites. The variety in sites spread out as much as the variety in golf courses.

Looking up some golf course sites is like teeing up in a 35 mph cross wind. You have no clue where you’ll end up. Once on the site it shouldn’t be full of hazards. The best example is Hilton El Con Quistador in Tucson. There are no course layouts to give golfers an idea of what to expect. Nice people at El Conquistador, but, the website does not support them.

So, what makes a good website for golfers? First, easy to find on the Internet. Second, information should be easy to find for someone who wants information to stand out. Three key points of information, course layout, tee times, and directions. Golfers want to know how to get to the course if they are flying in from out of town. They want to see what the course looks like. Finally, they want to be able to reserve tee time before leaving home.

Hilton El Counquistador the Conquistador Course

October 12th, 2007 categories: Tucson Golf Courses

Hec_cc_logo_lg Hilton El Conquistador the Conquistador Course is a 6,801 yard par 71 course with a 72.7 rating and slope of 126. Located in Oro Valley, this is one of two course you can play from the country club. The other course is the Canada course.

The Conquistador course is Tucson Association of Realtors holds their annual Habitat for Humanity Golf tournament. This year it will be on November 9th. Last year several thousand dollars was raised to apply toward building a home for a needy family.

Step up to the first tee at the Conquistador and you will be looking at a 382 yard par 4. You step to the tee with your driver, then decide on a three metal. You find yourself 220 yards out, shy of the bunker awaiting your ball at 241 yards out. With a mere 131 yards to go a nice short iron shot and on the green in two. Nice way to start a day. Your 20 foot putt grazes the hole to leave an easy 18 inches for a two putt finish. Par and ready for the second hole.

Tucson Del Urich Municipal Golf Course

September 24th, 2007 categories: Tucson Golf Courses

Dell Urich is a parkland tree-lined courses with relatively flat fairways and big undulating greens. Located in the heart of Tucson. Sharing the complex with Randolph North Golf Course, which I already wrote about. This course has parallel fairways that are as forgiving as the sister course to the north. Its an easy course to walk and take in some of the views of the city and mountains that surround Tucson. Leave the cart at the pro shop.

The first hole is a 347 yard Par. A slight dip down early fairway and back up to a decent sized fairway leading to a complimentary green. Hit a solid tee shot about 249 yards and your between the mound on the left and the one on the right ready to be on in two looking for a birdie. A great way to start 18 holes
