If the ground crew!,
The grounds crew was cutting the grass, leaving all the clippings on the fairway. We lost balls into the grass on the fairway. If it wasn’t for that. It would’ve been great, but who leaves grass clippings in the fairway? I thought that was unusual. it was very frustrating.
So much potential
Would love to see City put funds into their existing facilities instead of building “Bike Paths”
This course is historic and should be treated as such. The greens were in horrible condition considering the amount of rain we’ve had recently. Lots of landscaping to do.
love the history
Love the historical side of this course and what part of it that is still present. What's sad is that they haven't put any sand in the traps since it opened in 1929! I mean... really!? There's thousands of square miles of sand surrounding Tucson!!!! I'm DONE getting rattled cuz I sent my bunker shot to the next tee box. From here forward, I will take my ball out of the trap (and not rake the trap just like the last 50 people who didn't) and place it on the grassless area outside the trap.
COME ON!!!!! I'm being cynical while trying to instill some sort of sarcastic humor in this, but this course deserves more love than what is being given to it. I love this place, have for a few years now, but it's evident once the snow birds are gone, it's allowed to suffer... until it's time to prep for their return in fall. Of course, we've all heard about Romero's desires to turn it into a park. Hmmm. I wonder?
Worth it for the price
I had my best score because the fairway was kind of dry and my ball kept on rolling!😆
The staff is great!
Course in horrible condition
Course in horrible condition. Dirt cart paths very rough, sometimes covered in water and mud. Hard pack around greens and off fairways - often just dirt no grass. Sand traps mostly lumpy baked hard mud. Paid $18 with a special and that might have been too much
Fairly easy layout
We had fun but the course was in just OK condition. It would be nice to have water available somewhere along the course. If I recommended this course to a friend it would be with a caveat that it’s not in the best shape and only if they got a “Promotional“ price.
Save your money.. It’s overpriced
First time playing this course. Paid $40 for a 4pm tee time. They charge a Ride along fee for passengers?? For the quality of the course they shouldn’t be charging this much. I’ve been to other courses in Tucson which are in far better shape. Note that they have frisbee golf on this course. I got stuck behind a group that wouldn’t let us pass.
Go somewhere else! I definitely won’t be returning. 👎🏻
Great course
Great course . But you guys here at golf now charged me a non resident fee . Which was 20 more dollars . Not cool!!
Best greens in tucson
El río is one of the best kept and maintain courses I’ve played here in town, even better than the pricy ones
