Slow and not to bright

Saw maintenance and they didn’t do anything

Slow groups and loud music

The 4 som3 in front of us were consistently 1 hole at least the entire round. 2 groups behind us was someone blasting music. When did golfers think loud music was part of golf? Where was the ranger/Marshal.

Friendly course

It’s a friendly course not very challenging and easy to play. Pace was slow because it’s a Sunday also it’s kind of pricey.

Nice value where locals play

This was a nice find on my visit to Tucson. The course is a very traditional layout with plenty of room off the tees. In most areas of the course if you don’t find the fairway it rolls into the native desert area and you can find your ball fairly easily. Just be sure you have a ball retriever as you never want to reach down with your hand and encounter a rattle snake of scorpion by accident.

Pace of play was very nice we got around on a very busy day in 3:45 minutes. They overseeded all of the sand traps which at first I was hesitant, but the grass in traps was very lush and if your ball finds one of these areas the ball is almost teed up and provides a decent lie. Two benefits, it speeds up play and also saves your clubs from getting nicked up which is common in many desert golf courses. It really makes a lot of sense to do this, when they do get rain in desert the sand in traps is easily washed away or when they get higher winds with low humidity sand disappears and sand in most desert courses shallow and filled with pebbles and rocks.

All of the tees and greens were in very nice shape. Plenty of grass and will accept decent shots from fairways and not bounce off. These greens rolled well but were very slow in comparison to other courses the area. Left several putts really short.

Other than that plenty to like about course. Plenty of good vistas of surrounding mountains and course is flat so it is an easy course to walk. The holes are spread out far enough that other groups errant shots don’t end up in your hole.

Best value for the $ in Tucson area.

not worth the money

Holes are good shape, but the places between the holes, like paths and greenery, are in disrepair. The grass on the fairways and greens were quite long. Although, it was mentioned that there was overseeing. There are other courses in the area that have greater value. Practice areas were great.

Felt a little gouged

Fairways & greens were playable but as soon as you step off the fairway, it’s pretty much dirt. Not being locals, we paid $75 which seems a bit steep for this course. Round was enjoyable enough but will look elsewhere next time I’m in Tucson.

Decent choice

Got a good rate and wanted an open course to work on swing. Fairways, tees, rough (dormant) good. Greens smooth, mid-speed, could be cut shorter (IMO). Held ok.

Clubhouse still no real food, bar ok. No on course drink cart. Good range and putting green.

Vanilla golf, sadly sand bunkers (almost every one) have been seeded and given up on. This makes for a reduction in standard play, and adds to frustration as they are long and uneven (thatch).

Maybe the sand bunkers will return some day.

Pace was good, and usually is as course is open with few surprises.
