The Arizona National Golf Club

Tucson Arizona

(Formerly The Raven)

   The Arizona National golf course is nestled in the foothills of Tucson's Santa Catalina Mountains. The Arizona National in Tucson follows the rugged natural flow of the land through rocky outcroppings and a forest of giant saguaros. A series of rare desert springs are what gives the course its name. The Arizona National Golf Course has elevated tees. Strenuous uphill holes, forced carries over raw desert and sloping, well-bunkered greens demand a full repertoire of shotmaking skills. The toughest hole most likely is #11, a 625-yard, par 5, which requires two forced carries over thorny swathes of desert."Golf Digest" selected this course 7th in the category of "Best New Upscale Courses" for 1996, and they also rated it as the 11th "Best in State" course for 1997-98. "GOLF Magazine" selected it 76th in its 1998 category of the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." Walking is permitted, but it is a mountain course and locals recommend that you ride. The 5,839-yard men's tee also has a ladies' course rating of 73.0 and a slope of 129. For golf homes available at Arizona National please use this link:
