Few golf destinations in the Sonoran Desert announce themselves as dramatically as Dove Mountain. Perched in the Tortolita Mountains north of Tucson, this private club is best known as the home of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, which was held here from 2007 through 2014 and drew the world's top 64 players annually — making it one of the most watched professional events in Arizona golf. The Jack Nicklaus–designed layout works with the rugged desert terrain rather than against it, routing holes through saguaro cactus, rocky arroyos, and elevation changes that create dramatic sightlines and unforgiving landing zones for anyone who misses the fairway.
The surrounding Santa Cruz Valley and the Tortolita preserve give the course a sense of genuine wilderness, and the views toward the Santa Catalina Mountains to the east are a constant presence throughout the round.
As a private club within the broader Dove Mountain luxury community, this is a course built for serious golfers — one with genuine championship pedigree behind every tee shot.
