Tips for Birding

Behind the Hardesty city building are a golf course pond, a concrete lined irrigation water reservoir and associated vegetation. From the Hardesty parking lot, walk north to the paved multi-use path and head west. It's about 0.25 miles from there to the end of the birding area. Bicyclists and runners may be numerous, so be alert. 

This hotspot covers this discrete location. If you bird other places around the golf course, please map your checklist in a personal location where you made your observations.

About this Location

Randolph opened in 1925 and was the site of the P.G.A. Seiko Tucson Match Play Championship, the P.G.A. Joe Garagiola Tucson Open, and the PING/Welch’s LPGA Championship. It is Tucson City Golf’s longest golf course, measuring 6,900 yards from the championship tees and just short of 6,000 from the front tees. The course setting is a scenic one with numerous tall trees, lush fairways, and a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding Tucson. The course features water hazards on five holes and long fairways. Randolph shares the Randolph Golf Complex with the Dell Urich Golf Course.

There are ponds on the Randolph Golf Course behind the Hardesty Building. The ponds may be viewed from the David Bell Path with access on 22nd Street.
