10Th Time going review
I at times will get the hot deals on the Golf Now App, the only thing that really got me upset was the amount of people the course booked every tme i go.... im always waiting over 15 minutes on each whole for people to play, or waiting for my swing. It is way over booked, that has to stop its not even enjoyable anymore ive stopped going because i take 4-5 hours to finish the course..
Good AZ muni
The fairways and greens were in very good shape and
finished the round in a little over four hours. Only complaints were the golf cart was a little jerky when
starting and they could use some more paved trails
on the back nine.
Nice little muni course
Only course I could book at a late date on Golf Now,
but the starter got me out early(even though they had a2 hr frost dealay) And got around 18 holes less tha 4 hours
on the weekend. They treat you right on the Tucson munis!
Great shape really liked the over seeding keep up the good work
Fun but frustrating.
Great day to play, golf course played good.
Greens were in good shape about 75% but hard. Supposed to get a golf cart but they ran out, ended up having to use a push cart.
Tucson Muni
A muni course is a muni course. This one is not for beginners. Best sand pits in city though.
Craig's Review
Course in good shape for time of year. Greens were lightning fast, but rolled very true! Fairways were good. Site said 1 1/2 hour frost delay, but only about 30 - 40 mins. Back nine was very slow! All in all great day...playing golf on Christmas Eve in near 70 degree weather...can't beat it!
A lot slower play than normal
Between delayed start and shortage of carts, the play was slow, but the course is in good shape.
Golf pass and Golf Course Review
First, let me rate Golf Pass and next the El Rio Course:
Golf Pass gets about 5/10 stars. Using the website from a cell phone was my issue. Multiple attempts to make a tee time and finally the message didn’t say I have to try another time slot. Eventually I got a time for a threesome (I supposed) but when the transaction completed it said I had successfully booked for a single. I tried to cancel, or add two more players unsuccessfully. I ended up grabbing another slot eventually booking the threesome but no success in the cancellation. Now I have to contend with a refund.
The course in my humble opinion was adequate. I wasn’t expecting a PGA experience and I got a better than average muni experience. Played from the blue tees and it offered plenty of variety for our group. Not sure the booking fee plus a midday rate was worth the price but it was competitive to other courses in the area. I was also amazed there was food and drink service in December on a weekday; that was good. 6.5/10 stars.
nice layout
nice course
greens were good
greens would not hold shots
El Rio
Probably one of the most under rated golf courses in Tucson area. I've played it multiple times now in last 2yrs. Some of best sand traps around. "Some other courses could take a lesson on how a sand trap be."
I've seen complaints about their cart paths in past reviews. I don't come to a course to play their cart paths. It's an older course but well taken care of. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good shape.
