Turquoise Valley Golf Course originally opened in 1908 as a diversion for copper miners in the area. Being over a century old, it has the distinction of being the oldest continuously operated course in Arizona. The course originally opened as a nine-hole layout and the back nine wasn’t added until decades later in 1996. This gives the front and back nines a completely different character from one another. Golfers begin with a more traditional layout before moving on to the modern, desert target-style back nine. Also on the back nine, golfers will encounter the infamous 15th hole. Besides its long history, Turquoise Valley Golf Course is also known for this hole, which is the only par-6 in the state and stands as the fifth longest hole in the county. At a monstrous 747 yards, the hole is nicknamed the "Rattler" and is one of the most talked-about golf holes in Arizona.

Friendly Course Off the Beaten Track
Turquoise Valley has been around for a long time, originally as a nine hole course. The front nine (the old) is quite challenging with some rolling elevation changes and trees.
The back nine (the new) is relatively easy in comparison as long as you stay out of the desert lining each fairway. Numbers 10 and 18 are par 4s that can be driven. Number 15, "the rattler" is a 700+ yard par 6 that can make or break your round. Barely missed an eagle putt today but took a 15 on it several years ago!
All in all, a fun track usually in pretty good condition and well worth a detour to this little Arizona town on the Mexican border.
Well worth the trip
I am a single digit handicapper on vacation to the sierra vista area. I heard rumors of this great little course near the border with a Par 6. Well, I took the drive and was very happy I did. The clubhouse isn't the grandeous luxury time facility but quite happily the opposite. They are the down home family style, everybody knows everybody type course. The course has some tricks and twists to it but it is kept in very good shape. Fairways are plush and greens are firm. If you're adventurous try the Naco Burger, it will satisfy a linebacker. Definitely worth the drive. Great people, great course, great price.
