Course was moderately challenging

Course is moderately challenging and at $64 it was value for the money.

The course should put up fencing around the golf range. Hole number 9 and 10 are very challenging to identify your ball on the fairway and it is very frustrating to slow down play when you know your ball should be in an OK position.

Paradigm Golf Group

Very odd experience here, and likely will not be returning. Marketing of this place is very young, hip, and inviting (which sold us). While the range may mirror this vibe— the rest of the experience does not. Upon arriving staff was cold, unfriendly, and almost nonexistent. We were on pace of play to the minute, and staff yelled at us for being behind pace and that there was a tournament behind us— and later circled back and acknowledged but did not apologize for the fact that we were in fact on pace— however the people in front of us were playing faster. They seem disjointed, unorganized, and truly not worth the cost associated.

This is a muni course?

Played here for the first time and came away very impressed. Course was in excellent condition. Facilities are likewise top notch. Shade near the practice range, tables and chairs, food truck- just because a municipal course is a municipal course shouldn't mean it's poorly run. Tucson could learn a thing or two!.

Will be back

Great course, can’t beat it for the price. Pace of play was great, staff are diligent about keeping people moving. Greens roll true & fairways well kept. Little canal that you can’t see runs through some fairways that i ended up in a few times.

Great Course, No Desert, Challenging Greens

This course is always in great shape, brings out every club in the bag and will make you work to score on the greens. I enjoy not having to deal with a desert landscape, there are quite a few trees, and the layout makes it a very walkable course. The sand is better than most Valley courses and the best deal for residents is the Ranch card. I appreciate the break in price for walking the course, very uncommon currently.

Pace of play is kept up better than most courses, they have a starter and ranger. Plenty of water and restrooms on the course. Cart girl is routinely about and the restaurant and snack shack have something for everyone and every text ordering if need something mid round.

Range is mats only but recently improved the ability to tee drives and having monitors are very convenient. I recommend a yellow or colored ball for holes 9 and 10 with the location so close to the range. I don’t think range nets flanking the sides would take away from the ascetics and would help with the abundance of range balls on the fairways those two holes. That’s my only nit pick. Love this place and hope you do too.

Nice course

Great first time playing the course after taking lessons here. A little slow following people casually walking the course in front of you. Otherwise, was a good afternoon.
