TATUM RANCH GOLF CLUB

The Sonoran Desert provides a dramatic canvas here, where massive granite boulders and towering saguaros frame elevated tees that demand both precision and course management. Tom Weiskopf's routing takes full advantage of the high desert terrain, with several holes playing across desert washes and arroyos that punish wayward shots but reward aggressive lines with shorter approaches. The par-3 17th epitomizes desert golf at its finest—a downhill shot over a sea of cholla and palo verde to a green protected by natural rock outcroppings.
