Challenging but fair

The course was cart path only which in 100 degree heat was very taxing. Staff were great and the layout is challenging but fair if you pick the right set of tees. Would definitely play again

Great track , but

Played only a few days out of over seeding in mid October. Course was close to being top notch except the bunkers. Hard pan at best. Greens looked like they have never been hit . Mint condition ur slow of course. Great layout and amazing views. A must play

Just prior to over seeding.

Brown firm fairway’s provided extra roll out distance. Bring your A game. Lots of challenging forced carries off the tee. Will go back again

Course Awaiting Aeriation/Maintenance

Course management is a premium playing this course. Also plan your shots to avoid various hazard areas is important. It's a challenging course and appears ready for its fall maintenance and aeriation activities. Also carts they have are computer programed to "assist" you around the course. Be careful about getting too close to greens and/or hazard areas as carts will halt and require you to back up to activate forward motion again. Takes a little to get used to.

Horrendous condition especially considering it is a Troon course

Course is in terrible condition. Only green grass on the course is the greens. Compared this to Sewailo which my wife and I played last week for the same cost and there is NO comparison. All the traps at Arizona national are mostly rock and dirt. There is no green grass in the fairways. Not sure why that would be except for lack of funds for maintenance although this is supposedly a Troon course. Unfortunately I should have taken pictures to add to this review but I did not. A few years ago this was one of my favorite courses in Tucson be it 45 minutes from my house. Based on my experience today I don't think I will ever play at Arizona National again.
