Excellent desert course!

I wanted to experience natural desert golf, and this course delivered—every hole was surrounded by stunning, untouched habitat. Tight fairways with no room for error keep you focused. Great amenities too: clean restrooms, ice machines, and water stations throughout. A true desert golf experience! This course exceeded my expectations. Bring some extra golf balls in you are a recreational golfer.

GolfNow Members Welcome

Many GC utilizing golfnow t-time are less than receptive to participants. Not the case with Arizona National. Thanks for graciousness and hospitality on great course.

Great course Slow round

I played this course frequently and I cannot remember a slower round. 3pm start. 4:40. Ironically, the GPS monitor continually reminded us that we were behind Pace. If you’re gonna book 8 to 10 minute tee times for people are falling behind Pace you need to have a ranger out there moving people along, which they did not have.

Bunkers need work

I like this course very much and I feel it is in very good shape except for the bunkers and traps. They are hard full of rocks and very sub par for a course like this.

Changelling layout

This is a well maintained course (except for the bunkers) that requires some thinking regarding club selection from tees. A few of the par 4s are not necessarily driver holes. Course plays longer than the yardage indicates, so it may be wise to play up a set of tees from your normal yardage. The bunkers are full of small rocks and a sign in the clubhouse suggested lifting your ball, raking the sand, and re-drop. The pro shop staff is not the most friendly. Played this course two times, and would play again. Avoid windy days as there are several holes with large elevation changes. Will play again when in the Tucson area.
