The designer of our Rio Rico golf resort, Robert Trent Jones Senior, is famous for such world-renowned courses as Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Hazeltine National Country Club in Minnesota and Spyglass Hills at Pebble Beach, among others. Rio Rico Country Club golf course near Tucson AZ is a classic with gently rolling fairways and large greens providing a beautiful yet challenging golf experience for even the most accomplished golfer. This is not a desert target style golf course. Fairways are lined with huge pine and mesquite trees requiring golfers to shape their shots. Fairways are tee to green and therefore high handicapper friendly, yet challenging enough to attract the more serious player and longer hitter.
