\n\u201cJack is Back.” Only 10 years separated Jack\u2019s last two Masters’ victories, but over 25 have passed since Mr. Nicklaus built a golf course in the Tucson locale. Savor a round at the Dove Mountain Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and we expect you’ll agree, it was certainly worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Dove Mountain Ritz-Carlton – Tortolita Golf Course<\/p><\/div>\n

You will recognize the Saguaro-9 and the Tortolita-9 as the 7,849-yard 18-hole host venue for the Accenture Match Play Championship televised each February. The Wild Burro-9 completes Dove Mountain\u2019s 27-hole offering and it may be the best of the 3, so don\u2019t skip it.<\/p>\n

This harsh Sonoran Desert setting, artfully adorned with the elegant ribbons of manicured golf course turf which televise so well, is genuinely stunning in person. The Tortolita Mountains provide a gentle enclosure from the east, while the vistas to the west from the course\u2019s 3000 foot elevation seem to go on forever. The 3-nines are Nicklaus Signature Design golf at its best. Generous fairways beckon your tee ball among vast expanses of native desert washes and stands of sentinel saguaro cacti.<\/p>\n

These are second shot golf courses and the greens are the most formidable line of defense here. Elevated and contoured is the norm, with penalizing run-off areas for the imprecise approach shot. Unless you are a truly skilled player, choose a comfortable tee marker and play your second shots to these inviting targets with enough loft to enjoy holding them; you will be rewarded.<\/p>\n

Our take on the raging debate regarding the dramatic undulation Jack built into the greens? They are great fun and they will teach avid amateur players an important lesson.<\/p>\n

Mr Nicklaus, perhaps the finest clutch-putter of all time, came back, took a look around and revised them once. The lesson is this; if you\u2019re putting from over there where your ball shouldn\u2019t be instead of over here where the pin is, be quiet, accept your 3-putt, and next time, play a better approach shot.<\/p>\n
