Crooked Tree Golf Course

Played the Blacks (7062/72.2/132) as a single mid day. The weather was clear and in the low 100's. The POP was great, I played in slightly less than 3H.

The layout here has enough variety to keep things interesting. Good mixture of tee options every few hundred yards, which I find to be a plus. The tips require multiple forced carries over deserts cape, if you were playing forward tees there would be few forced carries.

The Bermuda tees were mostly lush with few unfixed divots. A few were humpbacked, but you could find level lies.

The Bermuda fairways were lush and were cut long in the heat, which produced little roll.

The Bermuda rough was a mostly lush with occasional hardpan close to the fairway. The rough around the greens is mowed down which makes for easier chipping. The farther you were from the fairway, the greater chance you were playing on hardpan or just sand like a large waste bunker.

The sand traps are pretty basic here, fairly flat with no large lips. However, they are not well maintained, crusty and mostly hard.

The Bermuda green complexes do not have alot of slope or tiers. They gently slope from back to front. They are relatively small for a course this length, firm and consistently putted slow. However, they rolled relatively smooth for Bermuda greens.

The customer service was excellent. Quick efficient check-in, and the friendly & courteous drink cart gal came by several times. For a municipal course, this is a good track, good mid level value course. A downside is that the carts do not have GPS and the course is not particularly well marked for yardages. Recommended = yes.

Crooked tree has some of the best fairways and greens in the Tucson area.

The practice area is also very good.

The knock on Crooked Tree is once you are off the fairway be even a small amount you feel like you are always on ground under repair or virgin desert.

A really good improvement would be new carts and s true drop off area for your clubs so you don't have to hike them in from the parking lot.

Played the Blacks (7062/72.2/132) as a single mid day for $26 that included a cart. The weather was partly cloudy, humid and around 100. Probably because of that, the POP was great, I whizzed around in less than 3H.

My 1st time here, traditional desert layout. I was told that they stretched the course out by adding Black tees several years ago. Their black tees remind me of Camarillo Springs in So Cal where some of them are well off the beaten path. Several were tucked way back in places that created challenging sight lines with forced carries well off the original course. I felt like the course plays shorter than slightly over 7000 yards overall. However, the 485 yard par 4 and 252 yard par 3 still played LONG even in the desert heat and the ball flying farther than normal. Playing into a 1 club wind, 1st time I have hit Driver on a par 3 in a long time.

The Bermuda tees were mostly lush with few unfixed divots. A few were humpbacked, but you could find level lies.

The Bermuda fairways were lush and were cut long in the heat, not much roll.

The Bermuda rough was a combination of lush with occasional hardpan relatively close to the fairway. The farther you were from the fairway, the greater chance you were playing on hardpan or just sand like a large waste bunker. The rough around the greens is mowed down which makes for easier chipping.

The sand traps were ib very poor condition. Luckily, all are flat with no or small lips, because they are crusty dirt, no real sand there.

The green complexes are relatively small for a course this length and do not have alot of slope or tiers. They gently slope from back to front and are Bermuda. While they were in decent shape, firm and consistent from green to green... they putt SLOW. However, once I got the speed down, I made some putts, they rolled relatively smooth for Bermuda greens.

The customer service was excellent. Quick efficient check-in, and the drink cart came by several times, friendly & courteous. The layout was good with enough variety to keep things interesting. Good variety of tees after their redesign, the tips require multiple forced carries over deserts cape, if you were playing forward tees there would be few forced carries. For a muni, this is a good course, definitely an excellent value @ $26 with a cart on a weekend. Recommended = yes.

COURSE WAS WELL MANICURED. THE GREEN, I WOULD SAY 9

Local course, nothing flashy, but good golf at a fair price.

People were accommodating and the course played great.

I picked Crooked Tree based on the recommendation of a friend who played there earlier this year. I had never heard of it before even though I have played many other Tucson courses. Pros: flat and forgiving, favors the straight hitter, greens are consistent and fairly true, green fees are reasonable. Cons: most par fours seem to be roughly the same yardage, cart paths are only partially paved and in need of repair, the bunkers are some of the worst I've ever seen. Trevino did a pretty good job with what he had to work with.

greens are true, but hard to hold. bunkers are not good

We were a twosome and expected the pace of play to be very slow. To our surprise we played in 3 hours and 40 minutes. Greens in excellent shape, bunkers are terrible, standing water in many of them and crusty sand. Course needs some beautification and sprucing up. Cart paths are bad. would play this course again and recommend it to others.

I've been playing this course for 30 years, I love it. It's open but has challenges. It was windy which makes it more difficult. Greens roll true and nice speed. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Great course for the money

I have not played this course in many years. It was fun. It was a very windy day which was not fun but added to the difficulty of the course.

I thought the course was in great shape, the greens rolled nice. The staff was very friendly and courteous, we had a great round and a good time, I would recommend this course to a friend.

They've worked to improve course conditions since the last time I played here (2 years ago). Course was in very good shape. Not a challenging course with the exception of a couple water holes - but that's fine for me and my game. Only concern I have is the close proximity of the practice range to #10. I saw numerous range balls out by the fairway. A bit unnerving to be that close to people hitting from the practice range.

Other than that, I find CT to be a pleasant, fun course to play.

Really good shape, I was almost surprised. Gordon and the gang do good stuff here. Great practice area, huge practice green, and they know how to cook them some bacon in the grill for breakfast. Sometimes a round can take waaaaybtoo long but not this time, even with newbies in front of my group. Nicely done.

Crooked Tree GC is a relatively long desert course with little or no elevation changes. Moderate amount of water to play over and around. Fairways were in good condition and well mowed. Grass off the fairways was somewhat sparse but it is early spring. Bunkers were fairly flat and sand is extremely course. Practice facilities were excellent. Enjoyed playing Crooked Tree and look forward to doing it again.

I thought this was an above average public course ....no frills. The fairways were ok as were the greens...it was somewhat more playable if you mishit. Nice having a REAL restaurant and bar that was open after 3:00 PM(beer&wine only). My only complaint was NOT allowing golf carts in the parking lot. Also the course is pretty flat so is a good walking course.

Good greens and fairways but the "rough" is hard dusty desert and the ball bounds an additional 50 yards into oblivion. Not a pretty course. Kinda bare bones golf, same as it was a couple of years ago. Overpriced for what you get.

Very old course, club house, fairwys are OK green in good shape and small, if you stay in the fairway it must be ok but if you don't it's horible, no maintenace in the rough and in very poor condition. For $45 you can play m uch nicer courses.

this is a very , very nice course that has one irritating drawback: Slow play. What would it take to have a ranger monitor golfers ? I mentioned this to staff and they seem to think that this would insult their customers. I have never felt insulted when urged to keep up or let others play through. At one point there were 3 foursomes at one tee.

Play was very slow.

A group of PGA official rating the course were very discourteous.
