Crooked Tree

Been playing here for years. Course is in the best shape ever. Conscious efforts to improve the conditions and playability are obvious throughout. Greens and fairways are excellent. Rough is still very rough but clean up efforts are all moving things in the right direction.

Please improve the tee boxes

Sparse grass and too much crowning on the tee boxes......nearly impossible to find a level spot not full of sand on most tee boxes.............need to do something with waste area in front of 11 green...... .....fairways and greens in good condition..........

Very basic ho hum

Played on 4/6. Carts have no coolers or ball/club washers or GPS. Paired with two nice gentlemen and they were fun. This course has no bunkers, filled in with longer turf. It’s mostly flat with lots of desert and hard pack. Nice views. Took 5 hours to play, no marshal or beverage cart. Probably won’t play again.

Past its prime

It looked to me like this was once a well maintained course that would be fun to play. Now, it's pretty downtrodden. The fairways and greens were in very good shape, but all the traps had been filled with grass or let go into desert land. With so much maintenance that could be done to restore the course, the only worker I saw was painting a rope yellow. True story.

So far, this year I'm finding Tucson public courses vastly overpriced and under maintained. Quite disappointing.

Fun Course for the Money

Crooked Tree is a fun and challenging course. The fairways and greens were in great shape considering the drought in the Tucson area. Will definitely play the course again.

Saw a wide range of sometimes quite negative reviews but decided to check it out. Generally had a good time with no major complaints. Relaxed, casual atmosphere. Do not expect pristine conditions. However, overseeded fairways, greens and areas around greens were in good condition and playable. Sand bunkers around greens have been converted to grass bunkers which is a little quirky. Minimal rough, will usually be hitting off desert lies if missing fairway but most errant shots findable. Greens putt well and fairly fast. Large driving range area, putting green, and practice areas are good. Staff was friendly/helpful. Course in better condition than a couple years ago when last played. Price (73) seems high for experience, but overall nice conditions for muni-type facility.

Cafe staff unhelpful

While the course was fun and the pace of play was excellent the cafe staff was unfriendly, unhelpful, and unapologetic. I attempted to order food from the 9th tee box (like every other course) and no-one answered the phone. I called the front desk and the gentleman stated they didn't do orders by phone on the turn and he didn't really know why. When I asked the cafe staff she was rude and said we don't do that. When i asked how long for a hotdog she said 60 seconds. She just had to microwave it. REALLY????? No grill.

Good course for the season

Check in was easy. Carts were nice. I was a single and they paired me with two other singles. Had a good round. The course is a typical desert course. Green fairways with sand and dirt on sides along with areas of carry that were sand and dirt. Greens were in good condition.

You have to realize we are just coming off winter here in Arizona.
