Whether do you still remember WGC Accenture Match Play championship? If you do, then you must be familiar with the course RITZ-CARLTON GC which is at 7,833 yards and is the longest in professional golf. You can take your discount golf equipment to have a try.
Actually this Dove Mountain club in Marana near Tucson in Arizona desert country, has three, 9-hole, Jack Nicklaus designed courses, Saguaro, which serves as the front nine for the Accenture Match Play, Tortolita, which serves as the back nine, and Wild Burro.
The course is a 27-hole expedition through dense desert-mountain foothills, with roomy landing areas, strategically placed fairway bunkers and a handful of forced carries. But the real fun comes on the greens, which deliver intricate interior contouring rather than the sharper-edged broad levels that Jack favored too many times in years past. The Match Play will be contested over the Saguaro and Tortolia nines. It is hot like titleist 2010 ap2 irons.
Jack's favorite nine is the Wild Burro loop, which sits closest to the future hotel site. The PGA Tour opted to use the other two nines for gallery flow purposes, so when you tackle Wild Burro you'll get to see what the pros missed. That includes perhaps the most dramatic triangle in desert golf: holes 3, 4 and 5, which tangle with Wild Burro Wash. The green at the 470-yard 3rd is an island isolated among the sand and cacti. In other words, a hole that lends itself perfectly to match play.
They miss the course, but we can share it. This weekend you can buy a set of Titleist and go to there.
