The San Ignacio Course at the San Ignacio Golf Club,

The San Ignacio Course at the San Ignacio Golf Club facility in Green Valley, Arizona was once a part of a parcel of land called San Ignacio de la Canoa. Back then it belonged to Mexico. In 1854, however, they sold it to the U.S., and thus it became the home of a stunning Arthur Hills 18-hole championship golf course. The San Ignacio golf course is just a short drive south of Tucson, some 3,000 feet above sea level in the heart of Green Valley. There’s no doubt that the course offers some of the most spectacular views of the Santa Rita Mountains to be seen from any vantage point. They say the course is a “work of genius.” Well, maybe, for sure it offers a series of challenges unlike any other course in the greater Tucson area.

The signature hole at San Ignacio is the beautiful par five 13th, a memorable double dogleg that, when seen from its elevated tees, will make your heart flutter. And, as if the course itself is not enough, the Club's Restaurant, The Coyote Grill, with its spectacular views of the mountains, is one of the most popular dining spots in Green Valley.

The 18-hole "San Ignacio" course at the San Ignacio Golf Club plays 6,704 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 72 and it has a slope rating of 135. Designed by Arthur Hills, the San Ignacio golf course opened for play in 1989.
