Sewailo Golf Club
The best-conditioned public course on Tucson's south side and the one with real length. It is a modern Begay design next to Casino Del Sol with dynamic pricing. Check the tee sheet for the day's rate rather than relying on a rack rate.

Local knowledge
- Avoid mid-September to late October: the 2026 overseed closed it Sept 14 - Oct 1 and it stayed cart-path-only to Oct 23.
- The tips are named Bear Down; most visitors will be happier on Jade (6,341) or the Ruby/Jade combo (6,512).
- Women's ratings are high here (Opal 5,861 at slope 138); the Opal/Copper combo (5,376, 127) is the sensible forward choice.
