Love this course!

Ive played here well over 100 times as a junior but had not been back in 12 years. I was pleasantly surprised at the conditions for this time of year. Management has done a great job. The greens were holding even long iron shots. Was able to spin a 6 iron back a few feet on number 9. Love the layout. Only need driver on a few holes. Greens were putting nicely. Seems like they have removed some brush to make the course more forgiving. Will definitely be back soon.

Improving

Having played this course since the 1980's, its condition is wonderful. With new management, so many improvements have been made. This course is a gem for desert golf lovers.
I live on the far side of town, but will still drive to this course because of its uniqueness. Great time.

better than expected

Enjoyable round. 1st 9 holes are challenging for someone who has not played the course before, cannot see pins and difficult to judge where fairways are at times, but kept it interesting. The second 9 was more open and easier to understand where to hit the ball for the first time player. Greens had recently been aerated, but where coming back nicely. Lots of wildlife on the course. Course was in pretty good shape overall.

Challenging Course and well worth the price

It is a great course and the price is reasonble. Lots of contour. My wife said that the course is in superb shape, compared to when we golfed it 2 years ago. Will definately go again soon. Very nice course.

I love this course

We had a great time. Friendly staff. The course was in excellent shape. We will back soon. We don't live in Tucson. We live about 100 miles away. But it is well worth the drive.

2nd time in 3 years

I loved the course 3 years ago but it was in horrible shape! Tucson was considering closing it. The new management has turned the conditions around.
The greens were in great shape but challenging
because they all have big rollers. There are many blind shots with no layout on the score card although T markers do have maps. All in all a fun day on an old reborn course!

First Impression

Condition of the tee boxes and greens, for the most part, was very good. Fairways are spotty, but acceptable overall. The aprons on the back nine are very good. Bunkers are well below average and should be avoided. Better markers are needed for the transition areas to guide the golfer from the green to the next teeing ground.
Overall, a good value for the money: just don't expect TPC Scottsdale condition or amenities.

Difficult course

One of the city's courses which they choose to neglect. Fairways need more water. Greens are ok but very fast and difficult to putt. Cart path, what there is of them, are dusty. Pluses are it is not crowded and quite affordable.

very challanging for an inexpensive public course

Great value. There are five tee boxes, so you can gear this course to you enjoyment level. There are several blind holes, and the par five have that risk reward factor. The fairways were a little dry, but the greens were in great shape. This is a fun course, but if it is your first time you will loose three or four balls.

highs and lows.

Got a great rate on Golfnow, played in less than 4 hrs. More blind tee shots than I'd like, need to play it quite a few times to know aim points. Tee boxes, greens and aprons around greens were good. Fairways were pretty much non existent. Very bare lies in" fairways" . Still shot a good score as greens held my ProV (as they should) . Will come back, this course is a descent city course.

Nice to play golf in March

Even though we were concerned about playing "target golf," it was not a problem. Slow play though was. Possibly because another city course we learned was closed, nevertheless, it should of been faster than it was. Otherwise, I we enjoyed playing on a wonderful, warm, sunny day in Tucson.
