I♥Tucson Reason #1 - Magic Carpet Golf

This sign was made before Turbans struck fear into the heart of every Tucsonianite.

One of the most awesomest things that anyone can experience in their life is a mini-golf course. We're not talking about just some bumps and lumps under the astroturf and a castle or bull's eye target to to suck your ball away at the 18th hole. We're talking about some serious arts and crafts skills, whimsical imagination, and professional-level difficulty. Tucson can consider itself lucky as Magic Carpet Golf has all these and much more.

I brought my rolling desk chair because the Rascal wasn't charged up.

Don't let the smiley worm fool you - getting through his cupcake house unscathed is not easy.

I didn't know that bulls have 5 legs . . . amazing.

The monkey doesn't just want you to give him five, if you know what I mean.

We waited for 6 days for the snake to digest our balls.

The attention to detail is awesome - Authentic Egyptian Police Hieroglyphics.

The ever-changing landscape of Magic Carpet Golf makes it one of the reasons that IHeartTucson hearts Tucson so much. We swear that there was even a Moai here last week, but we might be mistaken. So often a golf course will turn a patch of desert wasteland into a beautiful enclave for the rich and powerful. But not the Magic Carpet - it just makes living in Tucson that much more awesome.
