Golf in Safford

Safford is the county seat of Graham County in the Gila River valley of southeastern Arizona at roughly 3,000 feet elevation, in the agricultural and ranching terrain of the eastern Arizona mountains. The community serves as the commercial hub for Graham County, with the Gila River valley's irrigation agriculture and the Mount Graham area to the south providing the economic foundation. The Mount Graham International Observatory complex on the high peaks of the Pinaleño Mountains above Safford represents a significant scientific facility in the region, with multiple telescope installations in the cool forested terrain above the desert valley. Safford is near the hot springs at Roper Lake State Park, a natural resource in the warm Gila River valley terrain. One course serves the Safford community in the Gila River valley terrain of Graham County.
