Round 2 at San Ignacio 5/25/2019

Round 2 Saturday: Just 20 minutes south of Tucson, the par 72 San Ignacio Golf Course, built in 1989 offers yardages from 5,200 to 6,718. This is a desert target course at its best, offering tight fairways, hilly terrain, smooth greens, multiple tee positions, lots of character and spectacular mountain views. The signature 13th hole is a dogleg 522-yard par 5 with elevated tees and a lake along the left side. The club is at 3,000 feet elevation, which offers milder temperatures than do other Tucson-area courses.

Net Scoring for all players.

Eighteen holes of spectacular Arizona championship golf meander their way through the cleansed desert of the Queen Creek wash, following with every turn the subtle elevation changes of the area. The par-71 Trilogy Golf Club at Power Ranch located in the southeast Phoenix Valley was designed by golf course architect Dick Bailey and stretches over 6,900 yards. Natural undulations and strategically placed mounding combine with Trilogy’s natural setting to create a golf course that is able to both challenge the accomplished player and accommodate the novice.
