Spent the week playing 5 courses in Tucson. Without a doubt, Dove Mountain was the best experience of the week. The practice area was maybe the finest I have ever seen. Course condition / greens were excellent. Pro shop staff and range attendants were all friendly and courteous. Next trip out west may be spent solely at Dove Mtn.

The course was fine, greens a little long though. Back at the hotel (Ritz) a sleezy bartender Andrea bragged about how she use to work at Curves tittybar. Other than Andrea and the greens it was a true Ritz experience.
