About Us: Tucson-Golf
Our Journey Begins in 2007
Tucson-Golf was founded in 2007 with a vision to become the go-to online resource for all things related to golf in and around Tucson, Arizona. We started as a small but passionate team of golf enthusiasts with a big idea: to fill an information gap that we noticed in the digital landscape.
Filling the Gap
Back then, finding comprehensive and up-to-date local golf news and information was challenging. We recognized the need for a centralized platform where golfers, both seasoned and new, could turn to for insider knowledge about courses, tournaments, equipment, and local golf culture. Tucson-Golf was born out of this realization, with the mission to empower and engage the golfing community in Tucson.
