Terrific course

My wife and I enjoyed a round of golf here as a pleasant break during our road trip. The course was impeccably maintained and a true delight to play. The pace of play was ideal for us. As we are both new to golf, we never felt pressured, yet we maintained a good pace with the group in front. We would be thrilled to return. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Aboloutely Picture-Esque! And Well Taken-care of!

I had the pleasure of of walking-on to this course yesterday afternoon as the sunset. And I’m sooo Glad I did (Big thanks Ron @ the pro-shop- he knows what’s goin on… and he has a nice selection of hats there- they nice X-mas gifts). And the Cart-dudes greet you at the parking lot and set you up with Coolers full of Fresh-Ice, and there’s Ice-cold water through-out the course—- this is True Southern-Arizona Style Golf Luxury at its Finest.

I cannot express enough how Beautiful and Picture-Esque- every single hole is! It’s a shame it’s only 9-holes. But you’ll definitely want to play them again after one-round.

The layout of Pusch Ridge reminds of my favorite Jack Nicklaus Designed courses I’ve played in Cabo San Lucas. -every hole is unique and stands alone. On every hole, you’re only looking at one hole, with no risk of ending up in other fairways. (That’s how I like my courses.). And there’s spectacular elevation-changes up & down, and some dog-leg action too, and water hazards, an island-green, … Amazing views of Pusch-Ridge and Oro Valley- It’s got it all. There’s even a couple par-5s that require the Big-dog drives. And every hole is picture-worthy. So it’s really a great place to bring friends and family and take lots of pictures. You are right up in the mountains.

But warning: Hole #1 is intimidating, and I don’t like it. It’s got a mean Dog-leg and a steep elevated green. All the other holes are Super-fun!

Also, the Greens, fairways, tee-boxes all in great (maybe Prime) shape— you can tell that they care about the shape of the greens. They take of the greens with love at Pusch ridge.

Definitely recommending to family and friends, especially out-of-Towners - It’s a great way to experience the natural beauty of Southern Arizona

We always have a good time playing this course

Staff was friendly, as always. We play it once a year when visiting Tucson and Oro Valley. When you only have time to get in 9-holes of golf, this course is a great choice.
