The Pines Golf Club At Marana

Description:

• The Pines offers a mix of dramatic elevation changes and stunning mountain views with 18 enjoyable holes. In 1997 the Pines opened as The Links at Continental Ranch. The Links, which was designed by Brian Huntley, was built on the edge of a 90+ acre, 100 foot deep sand and gravel quarry. In 2000, following the decision to abandon the sand and gravel quarry, the Town of Marana and the quarry/golf course owner agreed on a plan that would reclaim the quarry by relocating 10 golf holes into the old quarry and reconfigure 8 of the existing holes. Given the elevation changes and the addition of thousands of trees it was determined that the Links name was no longer appropriate and therefore when the new course opened for play in October 2003, The Pines Golf Club at Marana was born. "Tucson's first Scottish Links style course was transformed into "Tucson's first quarry course".
