Some of the best golf courses in Arizona were paid for by the sale of surrounding homes. Playing golf near homes is a “necessary evil,” making a golf on a course that’s free of homes all the sweeter. Some of the best courses in Arizona are home-free, including the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona. Dove Mountain has recently been in the news as the site of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. Instead of homes, the Dove Mountain courses are surrounded by the striking scenery of the Sonoran Desert and the Tortolita Mountains.
