The Views Golf Club at Oro Valley
About
The Views Golf Club at Oro Valley in Tucson is so named for its stunning vistas provided by the nearby Catalina Mountains. The desert-inspired layout features a rolling terrain that blends in seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Trees dot the golf course and there is also an abundance of native cacti throughout. Designed by Greg Nash, the layout features large, rolling greens that are subtly elevated. The front nine meanders through dry washes and arroyos while the back nine snakes upwards to higher grounds. The back nine is more challenging than the front with more elevated tee shots and sharp doglegs. There is a small lake that comes into play and several strategically placed bunkers throughout. The Views Golf Club at Oro Valley also features a driving range and short-game practice area.

Greens and fairways were in great shape.
Great value for the money. Carts well maintained. Ice and water stations were especially nice.
The greens were in good shape
The views was pretty good. The greens appeared to have been recenly fertilized but still rolled pretty good. The pace of play was pretty good. Overall, this course is in great shape.
This course is tricky good.
the course was fun to play. Beautiful scenery. Catalina mountains in the distance made for a fun day.
A great deal
Superbly maintained, especially in light of dry conditions. Excellent tees, fairways and greens. Relatively long, but several tee options.
Great course. Fantastic views. However, the greens were bad due to plugging and sanding.

A wonderful club
Not very busy for a Sunday round. The course is challenging without being overly difficult. Wonderful views of the Catalina Mountains from almost every hole.
Great course as usual. #5 fairway took a big hit.
The last storm that went through destroyed the fifth fairway and they had to make it a par 3. The damage was quite extensive so #5 may be a par 3for quite a while.
Nice course, however.......................
Stop playing this course last year because of slow play and members would not let you play through...............
Played yesterday to see is things have changed. Played front nine in 2 hours and two groups in front of us did not play the back. By the 12th hole we had a threesome in front of us, then a twosome on 13???????? Where did they come from ???? Then play came to a stop......Waited on 13 and 14 and gave up.
15, 16,17 and 18 had groups all over the place.
What was a nice day of golf, ended.
We don't mind waiting however, when you have members jumping on and others taking 5 to 10 minutes to put out??? Hope they had a lot of money on the bets.........
course had a lot of burned out areas
nobody on the course by the time we reached back nine,,,greens justed punched recently..many areas under repair....nice layout though...didn't justify ninety dollars for two under the circumstances
beautiful course, well maintained and serviced
outstanding course, moderately difficult.
beautiful vistas, excellent services.
excellent driving range and chipping area.
Good Layout, Pick You Tees and Play to Your Game
Overall good experience. Most greens are slightly elevated, so you need to carry you approach shot on the green. Greens had recently been aerated and therefore putting was a challenge.
very good course
The Views is always a great place to play, the course is always in good condition and staff very friendly
A great course to play
Have played it several times. It's always in great condition and has great holes that are more challenging then what you expect.
Correctly named
A very nice course that is feeling the effect of the heat. Many bare spots and the greens were just worked on. I would guess that it is a very good place to play most of the year.
Overall, a decent value in summer especially in the p.m.
We played on a Wed. morning at 11:30 with a good prepaid rate from Golfnow. Fortunately, we did not have anyone in front of us as we tend to play an aggressive golf ready. Conditions, of course, varied aroung the course as some fairways were much more burned than others. However, the bunkers posed the most serious obstacle as they were very wet just under the surface resulting in very inconsistent results. Tee boxes were very nice but the grass was quite long and not a real problem. At over 6,200 yards from the white tee boxes and not much roll in the fairways, it is quite a challenge.
Not a unique course but well maintained
The course was in great shape. Greens and fairways were very healthy. Also, it was Father's Day and we couldn't believe there was NOBODY on the course, it was awesome. This place is definitely worth the money, especially because you can find $20 tee times on golfnow. Must play.
Hot day in Tucson "106"
The course overall was in decent shape with a few bare dry areas in the fairways...The greens were very receptive and rolled true and moderately fast...A few good monsoon rains and the course will really green up nicely
Love the greens
This is the time of year where you will have bare spots in the middle of the fairway, but it's not from the lack of watering on this course. Greens rolled exceptionally well. There was one green where a piece of equipment leaked some sort of fluid on the green and burned lines on the right half of the green, so I guess the pin is going to be set on the left side for a while. We played in under 3.5 hours as a twosome with a foursome of members in front of us.
But this is a fun course to play every once in a while.
Interesting layout
The Views is an interesting and fair layout. Right now course conditions are good, but fairways are struggling with the heat with lots of brown areas. Still a good value and pace of play was great for a Sunday AM.
Good, but fairways
Fairways are already burned up. Greens in good shape
