Arizona Golf Course List – Arizona Golf Authority Golf Course Guide
This little executive course isn’t going to challenge low-handicappers, but it is a popular place with all the golfers in the Benson area, just southeast of Tucson on I-10, not just those driving an RV who happen to be passing through.
Previously known as Coyote Hills Golf Course, it was originally designed by Gary Kay as a nine-hole regulation course and now is an 18-hole executive layout with some nice features including greens and tees that are slightly elevated. Water features include a five-tiered waterfall and it has Arizona’s only “triple green” with a single clover-shaped complex that serves as the green for three holes.
Three sets of tees are provided, 3,075, 2,740 and 2,176 yards, and resting at 3,600 feet of elevation, the golf course plays even shorter than the numbers suggest. Par is 58, with a rating of 56.5 and slope of 85.
You’ll find 14 par-3 holes and four par 4s, which measure 303, 270, 348 and 281 yards, the Par-3 holes range from 83 to 201 yards. Also on-site are a 5,000-square-foot putting green and a chipping green, but no driving range. The course also has banquet facilities and the Turquoise Bar, which is open evenings, and the Grill, which serves breakfast and lunch. Green fees are less than $30 throughout the year.
