Golf in Tucson Arizona

While the winter season is sure to be the perfect time to golf, summer is a great time for beginners as well as veteran golfers. The atmosphere is more relaxed; some courses relax their dress code. Also, because the courses are less crowded, players aren’t as likely to feel pressured to speed up their game and there are fewer eyes watching when you tee off. Plus, courses that are out of reach, either because of high green fees or scarce tee times, suddenly woo Arizona’s 500,000 golfers with drastically reduced rates and perks such as free golf balls, meals and unlimited practice time. Most courses drop their rates by as much as 75% in the summer.
