About this course

The Views Golf Club sits in Oro Valley, a community north of Tucson in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Designed by Greg Nash and Jeff Hardin and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling desert terrain with elevation changes that provide sightlines across the Sonoran landscape. The routing takes advantage of natural washes, rock outcroppings, and native vegetation including saguaro cacti, palo verde, and ocotillo. The design philosophy emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the dramatic topography and desert character of southern Arizona. The course features wide fairways by modern desert standards, with strategic bunkering and waste areas that define playing corridors without excessive forced carries. Several holes play across or along arroyos, and the elevation shifts create both uphill and downhill approaches that require thoughtful club selection. The greens are typically generous in size with moderate undulation, reflecting a member-friendly approach to daily play. Water comes into play on a few holes, though the design relies primarily on the natural desert landscape for challenge and visual interest. The Views operates as a semi-private facility, offering both member and public access. The clubhouse provides dining and event spaces with views toward the surrounding mountains. The course serves both the local Oro Valley community and visiting golfers seeking a desert golf experience in the greater Tucson area, where the combination of accessible design and scenic setting appeals to recreational players.

Getting there

The journey to The Views Golf Club begins at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), roughly ninety minutes south of Oro Valley, before ascending northward into the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The drive traces the transition from the sprawling Phoenix metropolitan area into increasingly rugged high-desert terrain, where saguaro cacti give way to scrubland and granite ridges as you climb toward the Tucson metropolitan region. For those arriving by private aircraft, Tucson International Airport (TUS) offers a closer alternative, situated just thirty minutes south of the club, while the smaller Marana Regional Airport provides an even more direct approach for business jets. The final miles wind through the quiet residential enclaves of Oro Valley before arriving at The Views, where the clubhouse commands sweeping vistas across the Sonoran Desert and toward the distant peaks that define this corner of Arizona's golf country.
