Quarry Pines Golf Club

About Quarry Pines Golf Club

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more dramatic desert golf setting in Tucson than this public track carved into the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The layout takes full advantage of the rugged terrain, with holes that weave through natural arroyos and around massive granite outcroppings that give the course its name. What sets this place apart is how the routing embraces rather than fights the desert landscape – you'll find yourself hitting over rocky ravines and around towering saguaros, with the Catalinas providing a stunning backdrop throughout your round. The course plays fair but demands accuracy, as the desert carries real penalty for wayward shots. Conditioning is consistently solid for a public facility, and the value proposition is excellent given the quality of the desert golf experience you're getting. With a 4.3 rating from nearly 500 reviews, it's clearly resonating with golfers who appreciate authentic desert golf without the resort price tag. Walking is permitted, which adds to the appeal for purists who want to experience this spectacular terrain on foot.
