Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort

The original San Francisco Giants Spring Training base and resort from the 1960's, but updated a restored. A nice setting for a hotel/resort/conference center midway between Tucson and Phoenix, about 45 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport. The golf course is surrounded by desert, but more parkland in design, and from the black tees is over 7500 yards, 130 slope and 75.3 course rating, and was designed by Ralph Plummer. My favorite in the area, reasonable rates, scenic and interesting layout, kept in reasonably good condition.
