Oro Valley reopens Pusch Ridge disc golf course for summer season

The Pusch Ridge Disc Golf Course gave Oro Valley players back a summer staple on May 30, reopening at 10000 N. Oracle Road with daily play from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Sept. 20. The seasonal restart restored one of the area’s best-known outdoor rounds, a course that the town has already built into its warm-weather recreation calendar.

That matters because Pusch Ridge is not just a casual park stop. UDisc ranked it No. 10 in Arizona out of 133 courses in its 2026 rankings, and those rankings are driven entirely by player ratings, with newer reviews carrying more weight. Set against the Santa Catalina Mountains, the 18-hole layout has become a destination for players who want a scenic round that still asks for control, placement and clean shot-making.

Oro Valley has built the course to work for more than one kind of golfer. The town describes Pusch Ridge as a layout for all skill levels, and it backs that up with optional short tees on every hole, marked in yellow, to make the course more approachable for newer players. For more experienced disc golfers, the same setup still offers a full summer test in desert conditions, with mountain views and native wildlife shaping the round as much as the scorecard does.

The reopening also brought back the supporting pieces that turn a course into a regular stop instead of a one-day outing. Golf carts were available on weekends from 7 to 11 a.m. for an added fee, the pro shop opened on weekends with disc rentals and refreshments, and tee times could be booked in advance while other play remained first-come, first-served. Rounds cost $10 per person, and summer memberships were available online.

Competition is part of the rebound too. PDGA-sanctioned leagues were set to begin June 6 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., giving the course an organized competition layer alongside open play. The PDGA lists Pusch Ridge as a seasonal 18-hole course established in 2025, a sign that the venue has quickly moved from a local amenity into the formal disc golf ecosystem.

That seasonal pattern was already familiar. Oro Valley used a similar summer schedule in 2024, opening the course daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from June 1 through Sept. 22. The town also said weekday play could be paid through a QR code at Hole 1, a small but telling detail that shows how deliberately the course is managed as a recurring summer asset, not a temporary setup.
