Tucson's WGC site to open January
by John Davis - Dec. 3, 2008 05:51 PM
The Arizona Republic
The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Marana, which will become the site of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in February, announced that it will open the first 27 holes of a 36-hole facility next month. The match-play event, which will be played Feb. 23-March 1, is open to the top 64 players in the world golf rankings.

Jack Nicklaus designed the two courses at the resort north of Tucson near the Tortolita Mountain Range. They ultimately will be accessible only to resident members and resort guests, but will be open to public play for a limited time, starting Jan. 18.

Landing a tee time still could be a challenge because they must be arranged by a club pro on behalf of non-member golfers. Winter registration fee is $225 per player. Information: 1-520-572-3500.

Brad Klien has a review of the course in last week's Golfweek. The one thing he mentions more than once is that the greens are too extreme.

I'm planning on going to the tournament Wednesday. Anyone who has a couple of grounds tickets for sale can send me a PM.
