Arizona National Golf Club

This course is my favourite course in Tucson.

I’ve played it about 30 times in the last two years.

All was good except bunkers. They either need to remove or repair fairway bunkers greensid bunkers are a little better. Otherwise course is great

It’s been a few years since I’ve played this course. The last time I played it it was called Raven and it was the home course for the U of a. The check-in process is very easy and the staff are very friendly, but was very disappointed with the condition of the practice facility specifically the driving range. I remember it used to have a very beautiful driving range now everything looks dead and rundown. The course itself was in fair condition .The fairways were a bit shaggy as I think they are preparing for overseeding. The greens were in pretty good shape, and the sand traps had a little to no sand in them very hard. The play was a bit slow, and we had a group that was behind us who kept hitting into us. There wasn’t much we could do as far as picking up the pace as there was a few groups in front of us. It was nice that they did have water stations on the front and back nine or you could fill your cup with ice and get some water as It was extremely hot that day. All in all, I would definitely return again, but I think it will be most likely late October or November when it’s a little bit cooler. The course is very challenging you have to be very accurate and it is a true desert course with risk versus reward. The greens were a bit tricky to read, but rolled pretty smooth. The two gentlemen, I played with that morning, played star pass the day before and stated that it was in much better shape than Arizona national. Nonetheless, it’s still a fun course and will challenge the best golfer as it has some very long par fours and fives where you can really let loose with the driver, but you had better be very accurate also. I will certainly return as it’s always been one of my favorite courses to play when I lived in the Tucson area.

I enjoyed this course but like most courses September is time for over seeding, so the course was going under maintenance. Would definitely recommend and play again.

Played AZ Natty for the first time in a looooong time. I will be back again SOON! The course layout and sweeping views are among the best in Tucson. The course is challenging yet extremely fair. Tees, Fairways, and Greens all in really good condition,,, especially considering the heat of Tucson summers. Greens are in great shape but need to gain some speed.. not dreadfully slow by any means… traps are a bit sketchy but still very playable. All in all,,, it was AHSUM to get reacquainted with this old friend.!!

Course is in really good condition. Nice that they have ice and water about every 5 holes.

Pace of play was great on the front 9, then a twosome decided to jump in on #10 so the back 9 took 45 mins longer than the front. (they hit multiple shots off every tee box), which made the back 9 frustrating, the twosome didn't care because we are all out there for them. No marshal on the grounds to take care of situations like this.

The course itself is fantastic and quite challenging.

Cart was great with ice chest for drinks. It had on board guidence for where cart should not go. I wish it had guidence to next hole. The front and back holes run through each other. First restroom and water at hole 8. Course a real challenge with most tees over cactus and scrub. Some tees you had to go over or around large Saguaro cactus.

The course and especially the staff were top notch. Always grab a tee time here if you can!

Overall the course is in great shape. Greens all over Arizona are probably a little hairy due to aeration, but AZ National’s are as good as you’ll get right now. Smooth but slow. Give it 2-3 weeks and this course will be in top shape.
