A neighborhood nonprofit group in Oro Valley has raised the $1.8 million it needs to turn the abandoned Golf Club at Vistoso into a nature preserve.
It took Preserve Vistoso just five weeks to reach its fundraising goal, thanks to contributions from more than 400 donors.
The money will be used to purchase 202 acres of the 18-hole golf course, which closed in 2018 amid rising water prices and sagging demand for tee times.
