Course is great and March is a great time to play. Drinking water was scarse though, and the beverage cart was having tire issues. Bring extra water just in case.

Expecting better course conditions for money

Fairly difficult course without course knowledge. Many blindshots with fairly long carries. Greens are rock hard, don't hold shots, are somewhat inconsistant speeds and leave little margin for error. Several bunkers on every hole that are hard with little sand. Pace of play at twilight was a little slow at 4.5+ hours. Great views, challenging but expected better conditions for the money. Not for the average golfer.

Gorgeous course in the hills

A bit of a drive but worth it. Fantastic value for the layout. 10 min tee time interval spacing.

Difficult course. Blind tee shots, dog legs, tight fairways, elevation changes, water hazards, and strategic pin locations. Multiple times you have to approach over bunkers to a 15 yard landing area. Definitely a unique layout, every hole was fun to play, no two holes were the same.

Outstanding views. Mountain views, city views, clubhouse views. Ended up taking pictures just about every hole at the stunning scenery. Saw a coyote, rabbits, roadrunners, lizards, variety of flora.

Thick rough everywhere, tons of green on this course. Approach shots and chipping will be affected by the rough. Greens were firm and fast. Bunkers needed more sand.

No water bottles provided and the "comfort stations" did not provide cups. Couldn't get the water working at one of the comfort stations - the water machine was sensor-based and the sensor would not pick anything up. Carts had GPS but screens were small. Greens showed slopes and correct pin locations. No food available at the turn.

Starter tried pairing up randoms who were opposite genders in the same cart. A bit confusing to get to the first tee if you haven't played there before. Front side was a par 35.

Always a Treat

Arizona National never disappoints. One of our favorite courses in the area, the course is tough but fair (from any tees); always in great shape; rarely crowded; and the views are awesome. Although prices have increased, it’s still a very fair value for winter golf in AZ at a great course.

Visitors loved the course

Was the only reasonably priced tee time available for my out of town guests. Although the weather wasn’t ideal the course was in great shape with wonderful views of the mountains and Tucson valley

Cart battery

Our cart ran out of battery on the 16th hole. When we called the pro shop, we got an answering service that said there wasn’t anyone left in the pro shop and we were left to our own devices. We limped the cart back to the main rode and walked back to the clubhouse to get another cart. No concessions were offered for our trouble. Turned our already long round from 4 1/2 hrs to almost 6 hrs. We did go back and finish the round.

Great as always!

As usual, Arizona National shines! This is definitely a course you need to hit if you are in the Tucson area visiting. Absolutely everything about this course is spot on. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to play it. Also, no matter where you play from make it a point to go up to the tips on 18 to either tee off or get a picture. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful course green fairways challengeing

Would recommend to anyone to play at least one time. Wish the price was cheaper so seniors could play more often. The course was in great condition along with sand traps.
