Designed with the World Golf Championships- Accenture Match Play Championship in mind, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain will test the world s best players over a par-72 layout that measures 7,833 yards, but the Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses will emphasize playability and aesthetic appeal for golfers of all skill levels. It s absolutely gorgeous high desert, with a great forest of Saguaro, an abundance of cactus and beautiful vistas, said Nicklaus, describing the $60-million facility, which also includes an elaborate clubhouse complex, complete with swimming pools, dining and fitness centers. If I can design The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain to take advantage of its spectacular high-desert setting and beautiful vistas, while integrating solid strategy and good, fair golf strokes, then I ve done what should be done.
