Overall

Course is great shape except for the traps. Well worth the money! Stay in the middle. Grain runs away from the mountains on the greens.

Good course for the money

The staff was very friendly from start to finish. The driving range was a disappointment as the range balls were very very old. It think its a watering thing in Tucson, but the range was just dirt. The tee area was nice grass and that was the nicest thing about the range. It took 5 hours to play, and that is way too long. There is no reason that it shouldn't be played in 4.5 hours. Overall it was a good experience and I will be back.

Great course

Slow round. GPS reminds us to speed up but when there’s 2 groups on the next tee, what can you do do.

Some courses use rangers to directly confront slow play or so I’ve heard.

Great Time at AZ National

First time playing in Tucson and could not have asked for a better all-around experience! I was a single that played with two extremely nice local gentlemen that supplied plenty of local knowledge on the course. The only knock - and this is nit-picking - bunkers were so-so and a ranger to speed up slow players would be nice. Otherwise, it was all good and even though we had to wait on about 6 of the back 9 holes - we still finished in about 4:15.

I would not hesitate to play this course again when I return as it is a strong overall value. Thank you AZ National!

Excellent course with matching views.

What a gem Arizona National is in the Tucson area that’s open to the public!

From the friendly staff, course conditions and clubhouse you would think that you’re at a premium private golf club. With that said…this is THE #1 PUBLIC COURSE in the area. Can’t wait to play it again and again!

A must play!

The staff was super friendly and helpful and the course was in amazing shape. The views were great and almost every hole had a view of the surrounding mountains. Would play again in a heartbeat!

Scenic Mountain Views

Course was in great shape. Love the views, as this course is nestled in the foothills. Disappointed driving range was closed, however this was listed on their website. And restaurant had only limited menu of sandwiches. Really beautiful setting, and a fun round with friends. And weather was perfect!

Enjoyable experience

Overall the experience at Arizona National borders on a country club experience. The only downside is the range is a dirt plot of land and there are no holes cut in the putting green. On the course the green side bunker sand was not uniform. Staff is terrific and the City views are the best that I have seen. Had drinks and food afterwards and they were also excellent.

Best Value In AZ!

The course was in excellent shape! Tee to green there is no one better in Tucson! Greens were amazing and the fairways were like lush carpet! The staff was so incredibly kind and helpful. This course presents a challenging design but is very scorable if you keep it in play. I will most definitely be coming back and highly recommend this course to any one who enjoys good golf and especially desert mountain golf!

Have to play it!

I love this course…it’s one of my favorites in Tuscon. Right next to MT Lemmon and saguaro cactuses 🌵 for miles!

So nice. It can get slow and a little backed up on some holes. it would be nice if there’s a Marshall out there. But wasn’t too bad like 10 minutes over pace of play. The display in the cart lets you know every hole how far your behind pace…lol
