The Golf Club at Vistoso,

The Golf Club at Vistoso is just about an hour drive south of Phoenix and only minutes North of Tucson in the Oro Valley. The course at the Golf Club at Vistoso is a pure desert layout designed by Tom Weiskopf and makes full use of the stunning natural landscape. As is the case with many of Tom’s designs, the landing areas are generous and the greens are very quick and fiercely bunkered. Water is in play on only one hole, the 8th, a 389-yard, par 4. The 5th, a 431-yard par 4, is ranked the most difficult hole on the course. As desert golf courses go, this is one of the best: a superb layout that offers a real challenge to the low handicap golfer yet, if played from the correct tee, can be very enjoyable, even for the novice player.

The 18-hole "Vistoso" course at the The Golf Club at Vistoso plays 6,935 yards from the tips for a par of 72. The course rating is 72.1 and it has a slope rating of 145 on Bermuda grass. Designed by Tom Weiskopf, the Vistoso golf course opened for play in 1995.
