Tucson and Southern Arizona offer some of the best private, semi-private and daily-fee courses in the southwestern United States, combined with affordable municipal layouts and charming tracks with plenty of history.

The Gallery Golf Club

The Gallery Golf Club’s North and South courses offer limited daily-fee times. Situated in the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains, north of Tucson, The Gallery features stunning views and challenging golf.

The North course, designed by John Fought and Tom Lehman, has made several “best of” lists. The course meanders through rugged canyons and is enjoyable for high and low handicappers.

John Fought designed the South course, which is reminiscent of the links-style Pinehurst #2– site of the 2014 U.S. Open. The South course hosted the PGA TOUR’s Accenture Match Play Championships in 2007 and 2008.

Troon Golf, which manages The Gallery, the new Sewailo Golf Club and La Paloma Country Club in Tucson, is offering the Tucson Golf Swing where golfers can play all three courses for only $139 through Sept. 30. Visit www.gallerygolf.com for details.
