As the name implies, golf is the driving force behind most stays at this boutique resort, which is the site of the annual Tucson Open PGA golf tournament -- so if you don't have your own clubs, you might feel a bit out of place. Then again, you could just avail yourself of the full-service health spa, which is one of the best in the state. Most of the spacious guest rooms cling to the edges of the golf course and have their own patios or balconies; hand-carved doors and Mexican tile counters in the bathrooms contribute a Spanish colonial feel, while the furniture has a classically modern Mediterranean style. Aside from the least expensive rooms, the accommodations here are the best and most luxurious in Tucson.

Facilities: 3 restaurants (American, Southwestern); 2 lounges; 2 large pools; PGA championship 27-hole golf course; 4 tennis courts; basketball court; volleyball court; health club; full-service spa; 2 Jacuzzis; concierge; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
