Golf Vacations, Holiday 2007

New Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Tucson's Sonoran Desert

With Jack Nicklaus' Signature Golf Courses in a spectacular Sonoran Desert setting, Ritz-Carlton service, a major clubhouse complex and an internationally televised PGA Tour event, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain, will be a world-class golf destination.

Now under construction, the $60 million project is the most visible component within its largest and most comprehensive Ritz-Carlton-branded project in the continental U.S. to date, which also includes the 250-room Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain resort hotel and spa, and a 300-home Ritz-Carlton-branded luxury residential community.

Twenty-seven holes of golf and the clubhouse complex are under construction and scheduled for completion in late 2008, with an additional nine holes of golf planned for 2010. The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain, will host the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in February 2009, posing a significant challenge to the world's best players.

The Nicklaus Signature Courses will still emphasize playability and aesthetic appeal for all golfers, though, as they will be available to a select membership as well as guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain resort. A total of 493 golf memberships for the planned 36-hold club are dedicated to owners of The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, as well as a limited number of non-resident members.

The first 18 holes, comprising the two tournament nines, are par-72 measuring 7,833 yards, while the third nine measures 3,974 yards at par 36. The routing of the final nine holes is complete but exact yardage has yet to be finalized.
