Average golf

I presume the course had winter over seeding. Greens were very slow. They are eliminating green side sand bunkers. I presume a cost saving action but it takes away from the golf experience.

Lots of practice facilities but I personally didn’t have time for them.

Overall average day. I didn’t expect 5 star golf.

Filling in the bunkers with grass is a joke. Changes so many holes. And the grass wasn’t even through the bunker. Looks more like el Rio

Walked

Grass Bunkers

Weather was perfect so I chose to walk. I was joined by Jerry S. from Montana. The course is transitioning away from bunkers to minimize maintenance; they are allowing long grass to be grown in the bunkers. It is just as challenging as sand as it's no guarantee what the lie may be. I did not play as well as expected, though I holed a 27' putt from 5' off the green on 18. I lost to the Course 4&3.

Not a good course experience

This appeared on the surface to be a great spot the driving range and practice area is large and well kept and quite lush. It stops there the fairways have scattered bare ground patches every where. the greens are just grass fairways cut a little lower and the scenery expected in a dessert course just are not there. the only thing missing from the fields were the cows. when you can play other local courses for less money I do not understand why you would not. Regular rate at $50 is terrible

Much Better Than Past Years

Course is in much better shape than previous years. Fairways, tee boxes and greens are very nicely maintained. The only surprise was that it seems they are letting all sand traps fill in with grass. That's not a bad thing in Arizona since the sand tends to bake in the sun and then it's like hitting off of concrete. Good job maintenance crew!!

Interesting transition

Reseeded and good fairways, greens good but slow (still in early reseed so cut long). They’ve given up on the bunkers, grass in there, firm, they sight high maintenance. We will see…

Overall, fun, open, pretty nice day on the links.

Clubhouse still only open early, no real food, hope this is expanded. I played well, so happy

What you’d expect but still not worth the price

You get what you expect for a public course in Tucson, less than great fairways, hard bunkers, inconsistent greens. But for around $10 more than other public courses in the area it’s just not worth it.
