The Pines Golf Club at Marana offers a unique Arizona golfing experience—a country-club atmosphere at a public daily-fee course, where Western hospitality combines with superior service.
The Pines is not a long course, but it is challenging, requiring golfers to use every club in their bag. Dramatic elevation changes, stunning mountain views, 1,000 Mondell pine trees, mesquite trees, and desert grasses add to the natural appeal.
Golfers have a chance to make a splash on the 3rd and 4th holes. Tee shots on Number 3 have to carry past the lake, while approach shots on Number 4 play back across the water. After completing the front nine, golfers make their way to the back nine quarry experience.
Standing on the tee box of the 10th hole, players view the landing area on this short par 4 situated well below them. After driving back up to ground level to reach the Number 11 tee box, golfers will be stunned by the beauty of this 180-yard par 3. Picturesque Sombrero Peak provides a beautiful backdrop.
Players briefly exit the quarry with a drive through the pines, which brings them back up for the 570-yard, par-5 Number 12. Narrow and straight, the hole places a premium on accuracy. Number 13 is a 365-yard par 4 playing along the top rim of the quarry.
Then it’s on to The Pines’ most picturesque hole—Number 14. From the elevated tee box, a drop of more than 75 feet leads to an island landing area. Players are again led through the pines for the 16th hole, a 560-yard par 5. Golfers may play their tee shot to the fairway or try carrying the quarry and a large bunker on the left side. From the fairway, golfers play uphill to the long, narrow green with the quarry running along the entire left side of the hole.
The Pines Golf Club at Marana offers a mix of stunning views with 18 enjoyable holes, and a one-of-a-kind Arizona golfing experience.
