Designed with the World Golf Championships-

Accenture Match Play Championship in mind,

The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain will test the

world’s best players over a par-72 layout that measures

7,833 yards, but the Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses

will emphasize playability and aesthetic appeal for

golfers of all skill levels. “It’s absolutely gorgeous high

desert, with a great forest of Saguaro, an abundance

of cactus and beautiful vistas,” said Nicklaus, describing

the $60-million facility, which also includes an elaborate

clubhouse complex, complete with swimming pools,

dining and fitness centers. “If I can design The Ritz-Carlton

Golf Club, Dove Mountain to take advantage of its

spectacular high-desert setting and beautiful vistas,

while integrating solid strategy and good, fair golf

strokes, then I’ve done what should be done.”

“The Accenture Match Play Championship is one of the premier events in all of sport. Our hospitality suite package allows us to showcase the spectacular scenery of the Tucson region, watch the top 64 players in the world compete, all while entertaining guests with excellent food and beverage offerings.”

-Rick Vaughan, MTCVB

“Our clients and friends had a tremendous week at the Accenture Match Play Championship. We were thrilled with great weather and world-class golf. Seeing the action up close was an incredible experience. We look forward to another outstanding event next year.”

-Larry Finuf, Wells Fargo, Regional President - Southern Arizona

With the top 64 players in the world competing head-to-head on the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Golf

Course in Marana, Arizona, the 2009 Accenture Match Play Championship will offer an ideal

setting for entertaining clients, staff and friends. The unique match-play format will test the very best
