Course / Bunkers
The course is in fair shape. Tee boxes and greens are average. Some areas are patchy and in need of repair. The bunkers are horrible: no sand, just mud and dirt is the norm . New management should take full control of the course conditioning.
Average coourse made dificut because of traps around greens with small greens
Sand traps still need sand. would like to have tee areas softer sometion\mes I feel that I need a hammer to getthe tee in the groumd Good value for thwe money
Fun course!
I walked this course with my sister and another female friend (none of us play much). We had such a wonderful time and everyone was so nice (maybe because we met everyone around us as it seemed we were playing in several fairways...see note about not playing often) The course was in good shape and the weather was absolutely beautiful!
the layout was great
the fairways are pretty dry. the ball will run for a bit. the greens are ok, and the price was right
Typical city of Tucson course
Course crowded. Golf carts were at a premium (not many available). Was not on list.- had to prove my tee time with Golf Now print out.
Bumpy greens, but a great muni track
A nice muni layout, well bunkered greens and trees will punish any wayward shots. The greens were really bumpy and rather hard to play. They have a great, friendly staff.
Great for a City Course
Course was in good shape and a bit tough. Place was busy and golfers started the first hole every ten minutes probably due to the excellent deal for 18 holes on that date.
Ok golf some sketchy conditions, but cheap!
I enjoyed the golf but I suspect this course has had better days, I am from the wet side of Washington so any day golfing in the sun is fun
worst tucson municiple course
Painted fairways. Not sure I need to say more. Bumpy greens make balls roll all over the place. the other municiples are somewhat decent but this one is nowhere near the others.
Slow Play
I really enjoy this course, but the pace is always extremely slow. The last three times I've golfed there I have been unable to complete a round in less than 5 hours.
great course
Wonderful staff. This course is one of the best public courses in the area!
needs some money pumped into it
fairways ok,,, greens had some bare spots,,restaurant closed---all in all a nice friendly cozy place to play
Good value
After years of neglect, Tucson City Golf has restored El Rio to a semblance of its former glory. Greens are very fair, if not super fast. They appear to have elected not to overseed the fairways, a brilliant choice in Tucson I wish other courses would emulate. Staff was engaged and helpful. Beverage cart was prompt and reasonably priced. No, it's not Tubac or Dove Mountain, but it's about what muny golf should aspire to be: challenging enough, well maintained, fairly priced and accessible to the casual golfer. I'll be back as long as things stay this way.
Couse is in good shaope
The greens are a little rough post over seed. The bunkers are a little thin
It was a beautiful day to play golf
had a great time, THE MANY SAND TRAPS IN FRONT OF MOST GREENS WERE TOUGH.
Actual course for play is good enough especially for begginers
Depending on the host, staff can vary in courdialness.
Major downfall and this is a constant there is the poor condition of their carts i've played there plenty and its always a problem, they're run down, raggity, poor shape carts.
Course was in great condition.
I would play this course again. The greens were in very good shape. Best it's looked in awhile.
