Dove Mountain is a master-planned community located in Marana, Arizona, approximately 40 minutes north of Tucson[1] and within the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains.[2] The community derives its name from the nearby Tortolita Mountains. The word tortolita means "little turtle dove" in Spanish, which inspired the name Dove Mountain.
The community opened in 1998,[3] has about 5,000 homes[3] and encompasses over 6,200 acres (2,500 ha).[2]
The community is best known for playing host to the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. A Ritz-Carlton hotel and resort opened in the community on December 18, 2009, along with a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course.[3] The community, which includes The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, is the largest Ritz-Carlton branded development in the continental United States.[3]
Del Webb at Dove Mountain is a 45+ active adult community offering a variety of single-story home designs. At the center of the community lies the Saguaro Recreation Center, which features a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool and spa, and sports courts.[1]
