Dorado Golf Course

Dorado Golf Course is an 18-hole executive course located in East Tucson, Arizona, near the University of Arizona and adjacent to the Catalina Mountains. Designed by Ted Robinson, Sr., the course opened in 1971 and features a par 62 layout with eight par fours and ten par threes, making it ideal for players focused on short game development and target golf practice.

The course is characterized by abundant trees providing natural shade throughout the property, scenic views of the surrounding mountains, and water features including ponds that enhance the landscape. Wildlife and the mature tree canopy create a serene setting while maintaining good pace of play. The relatively short par length and executive format make it accessible to beginning and intermediate golfers seeking to develop their skills without excessive difficulty. Well-maintained fairways and greens support consistent play. As a public course, Dorado Golf Course serves the local community and offers an affordable option for casual rounds in a scenic, low-stress environment. Its proximity to dining, shopping, and university facilities makes it convenient for east-side Tucson residents.
