In 1854 Mexico sold the land parcel known as San Ignacio de la Canoa
to the U.S., thus the name of the Arthur Hills' 18-hole golf course
located in Green Valley, Arizona.
Just 20 minutes south of Tucson, this par 71 facility built in 1989,
offers yardages from 5,200 to 6,704 depending on the tees selected.
The strategy is sublime. One outstanding feature is the visibility
from tee to green. Golfers see everything they must encounter before
they swing the driver. The signature number 13th hole is a double-dogleg
522-yard, par five with elevated tees and a double lake along the
left side.
The club is at 3,000 feet elevation which offers a cooler temperature
in the middle of the summer than other Tucson courses. San Ignacio
is the site of extensive practice facilities and offers world famous
John Jacobs Golf Schools throughout the year.
The club's restaurant, which is one of the most popular dining and
banquet choices in Green Valley, offers a wide selection of menu
items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The spectacular view of the
Santa Rita Mountains from the bar and dining room create an atmosphere
enjoyed by golfers and non-golfers alike.
