Quarry Pines Golf Club

Quarry Pines whispers tales of ambitious desert golf carved from the heart of Tucson's rugged landscape. This modern course, threading through the high Sonoran Desert, offers a striking visual contrast: lush fairways against a backdrop of exposed rock quarries and towering saguaros. It favors the bold player who can navigate its demanding sightlines, with generous landing areas but strategic bunkering rewarding calculated risk. Designed by Michael Poellot, Quarry Pines presents a challenging yet accessible layout. Water features sparingly punctuating the landscape, the course rewards strategic play. Long hitters will find opportunities to open their shoulders, while shorter, craftier players can plot their way around the course's subtle undulations and doglegs. Locals boast of the course's unique 'quarry effect,' where the rock formations reflect and amplify the desert heat, adding another layer of challenge to the round. While Quarry Pines hasn't hosted national championships, its appeal lies in its accessibility and unique character. It remains a favorite among Tucson golfers seeking a demanding but fair test in a uniquely beautiful setting. The club is known for its strong community of players and its post-round cantina, where the conversation is as vibrant as the desert sunset.
