Très beau parcours de golf
Les verts rapides sont très bien entretenus. Beau layout.
The course played pretty fast.
The main problem was the golf cart paths which were mostly dirt or mud. This made it harder getting around especially if your ball landed in the mud. Having paved golf cart paths would have been much better!
Bang for your Buck
Justin at the clubhouse is awesome. He took down my name and number due to lost range finder. Same day he called me and I was able to recover range finder. Fun course for all levels.
Great value, enjoyed this course!
It was a fairly busy Sunday so moved a little slower than usual. I only paid $28 for 18 holes (walking) which was a great value for the Tucson area. Course was well maintained and staff very friendly. Overall, I liked the openness of this course which did have good mix of trees and vegetation. Several holes are fairly tight so I did see a number of balls crossing from other holes but not too bad. I'd definitely play this course again when visiting the area especially for the value and it's convenient location near downtown/University.
Slow golf
I was sent out alone, a single surrounded by foursomes. I finished the front nine in a little over 2 1/2 hours and concluded that the back would probably be slower as the golfers ahead of me tired, so I quit after nine. I probably won’t go back.
Cart Path Only
When you find out that a course is cart path only when you get to the course, the rest is unimportant. We were a twosome and one of us is handicapped. He paid for the round and only got a ride around the course.
I don't understand why this is not prominently displayed on the webpage when you are booking.
I'm pretty sure Teeoff will blame the course and the course will blame Teeoff. This really must be resolved. Even if you are not handicapped, cart path only is mostly impossible for the elderly.
It is what it is
Caution: it's cart path only, no exceptions. And I'd you're a single, you're probably gonna share a cart.
Overall was fair for what it was. Range ball machine was broken and needed to ask staff for assistance. As said above it's cart path only. I didn't mind so much but wad disappointed cause it wasn't stated here. Also it hurt one of our players cause he's disabled and couldn't play at all.
Course was in fair condition. Lots of bunkers surround the green with no sand which hurts alot of shots.
Staff was friendly. A little expensive even for a deal time. But it's what you'd kinda expect.
Get what you pay for.
Course has a lot of greenside bunkers, which would be ok if they had a decent amount of sand. They should be better maintained. Maybe that means reducing the number and/or size or make some so you could putt out of them. That would also improve the pace of play.
#15 has huge bunker opposite the green from restaurant and it has very little sand in it. Someone is going to skull a bunker shot into the window of the restaurant. Just a matter of time. I almost did yesterday and I’m not (normally) terrible out of bunkers. You just can’t lay the club open at all out of these bunkers. No bounce will work.
Great layout, love the protected greens
Overall great, met some good brothers I played with…. Not overly happy that we not aware of cart path only because of overseeding
Carts and path
May not be too important, but the condition of the carts and the cart path are the worst I have ever experienced in Tucson.
All else is very good for a municipal course.
