Randolph golf course in Tucson: Randolph North and Dell Urich

Randolph golf course in Tucson is really two city courses at one midtown complex: Randolph North, the long 1925 par 72, and Dell Urich, the shorter 1996 redesign. Both are public, run by Tucson City Golf, about 10 minutes from downtown, and priced as city courses. A City Card lowers the rate further.

If you are a snowbird looking for a regular game close to the middle of town, or a visitor who wants a low-cost warm-up round before a resort day, Randolph is the obvious first call. This guide covers how the two courses differ, what they cost, when they close for overseed and where to stay nearby.

Randolph North vs Dell Urich

The two courses share a clubhouse, a range and a restaurant, so a mixed group can split by ability and meet afterward. They play quite differently.

Randolph North is the historic city course: flat and open, but long from the back tees, with mature trees and water on five holes. It is walkable, and the length from the back tees is the main challenge. Our take: flat, long and cheap, good value for snowbirds, but not a destination round.

Dell Urich is the easier of the two. The shorter yardage and the forward tee at almost 5,300 yards make it the pick for higher handicappers, beginners and anyone who wants a quick, cheap 18 in midtown.

Neither course had a published course rating or slope in our research, so we cannot give handicap numbers for either.

What Randolph golf course in Tucson costs

The Tucson City Golf rate page returned an error when we checked on October 26, 2026, so no current rate card could be read. Here is what we did find (rates change):

In August 2026 the city approved a $2.00 Golf Improvement Fee per visit for pass holders, so expect that on top of pass rounds.

The City Card at Randolph

The 2026 Tucson City Card covers all five city courses: Randolph North, Dell Urich, El Rio, Silverbell and Fred Enke. Benefits listed on the card page were city-card rates on every round, one complimentary round, guest rates for up to three guests, 7-day advance booking, 50% off a first range package, 10% off food and 15% off in the golf shop. Online purchases are picked up at the Randolph complex.

Earlier 2026 terms said the cards expire December 31, 2026, and a 2027 card had not been published when we checked. If you arrive in January, ask the shop about the new card. Our Tucson golf passes guide covers the card, the Mega Pass and the other programs side by side.

Randolph overseed and closure timing

Both Randolph courses are bermudagrass overseeded with rye each fall. City minutes from July 2024 put Dell Urich in the September overseed group, with Fred Enke, and Randolph North in the October group. Minutes say the October 2025 overseed at Randolph held up through the winter freezes. No fall 2026 dates had been published at the time of research.

That split is useful. In late September, Randolph North is usually still open while Dell Urich is being seeded; in October it flips. Call (520) 791-4653 before a fall round. Early June brings aeration, as with the June 2 and June 11 closures in 2026. The Tucson golf overseed guide shows which courses close when.

One thing to watch: the August 2026 Greens Committee minutes mention a discussion of reducing turf at Randolph North because of reclaimed-water costs. Nothing had been decided in the minutes we read.

Playing Randolph in winter

Peak season in Tucson runs January to April. January normals at Tucson International Airport are about 66.5F highs and 40.8F lows, so first tee times on cold mornings can carry frost delays. Randolph is in the urban core, which stays a few degrees warmer at night than outlying areas such as Green Valley or Oro Valley.

For a snowbird using the Randolph golf course in Tucson as a home course, a sensible pattern is a City Card, a regular weekday time at Randolph North or Dell Urich, and one away round a week at a desert or resort course. The card's 7-day advance booking helps in February and March, when the city courses are at their busiest. See the snowbird golf schedule for Tucson for a full weekly rotation.
