Tucson, nicknamed the Old Pueblo, is Arizona’s oldest city with a unique blend of Indian, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo heritages. At an elevation of 2,584 feet, Tucson is cradled by the Santa Catalina Mountains rising 9,100 feet to the north, the Rincon Mountains to the east, the Tucson Mountains to the west, and the Santa Rita and Sierrita Mountains to the south. Green trees such as palo verde, mesquite, and cottonwood grow in abundance. Tucson is renowned for its superb weather. Warm and sunny throughout most of the year, the air is remarkably dry with a low relative humidity. Its culture blends the best of contemporary shopping, dining, and art with historic influences of centuries-old civilizations. The city is surrounded by majestic desert, verdant canyons, and rugged mountains all beneath an endless expanse of some of the bluest sky you’ve ever seen.

Activities are abundant in Tucson. Is golf your game? Or are you more a baseball fan? Looking for fine shopping? Fine dining? Fine art? Maybe hiking is more your style? Or spelunking? Whatever you love, you’ll love it even more amidst the hospitality and natural beauty of Tucson. The Tucson National Golf Course was designed by Robert Van Hagge and Bruce Devlin and has been host to over 30 PGA Tour Events. Traditional in design, it provides a fair test to players of all levels. The 419 Bermuda fairways and Pencross bent-grass greens make for a lush, manicured course. Mature trees border the fairways, while eight lakes and 80 strategically placed bunkers add to the enjoyment and challenge of the Tucson National experience. It provides a feeling of honor to play the course that great champions like Johnny Miller, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, and Miller Barber have stalked. Its reputation as one of the finest courses in the Southwest is well deserved.
