About Arizona National Golf Club

Situated in the foothills of Tucson’s northeast side, Arizona National Golf Club offers one of the most scenic and challenging desert golf experiences for a public course in Southern Arizona. Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this championship course is known for its dramatic elevation changes, native desert terrain, and awe-inspiring views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. As the former home course of the University of Arizona golf teams, Arizona National has a reputation for delivering a high-caliber round while embracing the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert.

The course layout incorporates arroyos, cacti, and rugged rock outcroppings, blending strategy with striking desert vistas. Golfers enjoy a mix of risk-reward holes, sloped greens, and panoramic views that stretch across the city of Tucson. The signature elevated 18th hole, which plays downhill toward the clubhouse, is a fan favorite and provides a memorable finish to an unforgettable round.
