Golfers will definitely appreciate the nine-hole putting course. The final putting hole strategically finishes just outside the restaurant and swimming pool. The 10th hole can either be a dip in the pool or a cold libation!
If you’re looking to tee it up at an 18-hole course, consider one of the five Tucson City Golf tracks. The closest to Lazy Days KOA is the Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course less than five miles away. This par 70, 6,629-yard course initially opened in 1961 as the Randolph South Golf Course.
After an extensive renovation in 1996, it was rechristened the Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course. This municipal course offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

I must avoid exposure to the radiation from cell towers, cell phones, wifi hotspots, blue tooth, cordless phones, laptops, ipads, hello barbie, alexa, smart diapers, smart anything etc.
It’s been impossible to find public places without that radiation..

Hello. We live in Elma which is not far from you in Olympia. We are full timer sunbirds and are planning on being in Tucson this winter for a month and in Benson for a month. What places do you suggest on seeing while we are in the area?
Dig a hole OR live in a cave . . . That will be the only option for you in the coming years!
We just returned from a 10 day stay in Tucson. the last three days were at the Gilbert Ray Campground in Tucson Mountain Park. The place is heaven , even if there is only 30 amp power available and no water or sewer at the campsites. There is a fresh water fill station and dumpsite available. So quiet you can hear the saguaros growing. We only wish we had planned to stay longer. Kind of hard to get reservations but well worth the trouble.
