Tough but Fun Course

Amazing course layout and location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. A Robert Trent Jones designed course, I believe, challenging and loads of fun but you better have a game. This did not play like a beginner course. Picturesque views, elevated tee boxes, tight fairways well placed hazards make this course a whole lot of fun but will put your game to the test. The only issue was the punched fairways and they were reseeding as well, typical this time of year but we knew going in. Lift, clean and place rule made it better. I can’t wait to play it again when it’s in awesome condition! Definitely one of the best I’ve played in Arizona so far.

Hot weather

Course was in pretty good shape

I had not played Az. National in awhile; however, if was in pretty good shape and, although weather forecast was for 110 high that day, it never got above 95 when we were playing but then we played at 7:30.

Greens So So - Fairways excellent

Course was fine. We were told if we wanted a drink go to bar as closing soon 1-2 pm. Asked if their was a cart out for refreshments and told yes - Nada! Not told where water was to refill bottles - easier to tell us after 6 holes etc! Tee blocks on a par 3 set up behind an effin cactus so could only see bunker if moved to right block and gully at left block. Who ever set those must hate golfers!

A must play

This course is a must play! The views are fantastic and the course is challenging. It is worth playing from the back tees on the 18th.

Nice views, true greens

Excellent conditions going into the summer months. A little expensive compared to others. 710am tee time for myself and my son. Completed the round in just under 3.5 hours. I like the different elevations that lend to some great views of Tucson and surrounding areas. Course was fairly forgiving albeit greens on the smaller side. (I’m a 15 handicap). The greens were fast but true. Will definitely play this course again.

Arizona National

I love this golf course. I don't even think twice about the 1 hr. drive from Green Valley. Very challenging & fun golf course.

My only complaint is $7. for 1 beer, that's ridiculous.

Local Treasure

One of my very favorite Tucson courses. Great pace of play. Was a little surprised how dry it was, but I think that’s a sign of the times.

Great mountain and city views. Overall, a great course.
