Tucson’s Premier Golf Course Earns Top Honor in Golf Course | Big Market Category

Sewailo Golf Club at Casino Del Sol has been named a 2026 Arizona Travel Award winner in the Golf Course | Big Market category by PHOENIX magazine.

The recognition will be officially announced in the magazine’s highly anticipated July/August “Best of the Valley” issue, on newsstands July 5, 2026.

Presented by Cities West Media and selected by an independent panel of judges, the Arizona Travel Awards celebrate the destinations, businesses, and experiences that inspire travelers across the Grand Canyon State. The award underscores Sewailo Golf Club’s standing as one of Southern Arizona’s most celebrated and distinctive golf experiences.

“Sewailo” means “Land Where Flowers Grow” in the Yoeme language of the Pascua Yaqui people, and the course lives up to its name — blending the breathtaking natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert with a championship-caliber design that challenges and rewards players of all skill levels. The course was co-designed by PGA Tour veteran and NBC Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay III alongside Ty Butler, and is owned and operated by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.

Stretching over 7,400 yards, from the championship tees with a par of 72, Sewailo features five sets of tee boxes to accommodate golfers of every ability. The course weaves through the natural desert landscape, incorporating picturesque lakes, streams, and dramatic elevation changes that make every round memorable. Recognized as a Top 25 Arizona course by Golfweek, Sewailo has hosted a number of high-profile events, including the Arizona Intercollegiate for the University of Arizona and multiple tournaments on the Epson Tour, the LPGA’s developmental circuit.

Sewailo Golf Club is located at Casino Del Sol Resort — one of Arizona’s most honored casino resort properties, recognized with a Forbes Four-Star rating and AAA Four-Diamond status. The resort offers guests a seamless blend of luxury accommodations, world-class dining, live entertainment, and championship golf, all just 15 minutes from Tucson International Airport.

“We are honored to be recognized by PHOENIX magazine’s Arizona Travel Awards,” said Amanda Sampson Lomayesva, Interim CEO of Casino Del Sol. “Sewailo Golf Club represents the spirit and culture of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, and we are proud to offer an experience that draws players and visitors from across the region to Tucson. This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team.”
