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.

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.

bad condition

The course is really hard, you can not see the greens from any of the tees, if you do not know the course it is hard to tell which way the fairway goes. some hole were very nice. fairways burnt and terrible. tees are flate, and the green were slow. typical retirement course. will not play here again. no service at bag drop, proshop attendants were super friendly and helpful. Ranger was also very friendly.

This course is awesome from walking into the pro shop to the first tee all around fun golf experience.

The Views name says it all. This course is one of my favorites in the Tucson area you really find that you have to place your shots in the right spot to shoot good here. Missing the greens around this course will test your short game for sure. The pace of play is really one of my favorite things about this course you move right along and nothing better than that. Finally the golf staff is total first class they are super nice and always make you feel very welcome. I will for sure come back and tee it up again.

attention

Even though the course did not seem to play overly long it
will make you pay attention to were you place your shot. You also
need to not get caught up in looking at the beauty of the Catalina
Mts. I enjoyed the course and will be back.

Fantastic course!

Always enjoy this course. Course was in great shape although the greens had been punched about 10 days ago they still rolled great. Fairways where green and the traps actually had sand in them which you don't find that in most of the area courses around here. Well worth the hour drive to play. One of my favorite courses in Tucson.

Beautiful course with outstanding views!

The staff were super friendly and great upon checking in. They pointed out several features on the course as it has several blind shots. It was a windy day and the greens were recently aerated which made putting a challenge but I will definitely come back to play.

Well maintained course with interesting layout, great scenic views of the Catalina's.

The greens were just aerated on Monday May 6th, so it will take a few weeks to recover. The greens vary in size, difficulty, tiers and slope which adds to their interest nicely. Fairways are reasonably lush for this time of year. The layout is interesting with good use of the terrain (some very nice elevation changes, some elevated tees and greens). Although fun for all levels, a beginner might find it somewhat challenging.
I scheduled on a day in which they go off in two shotguns (am and pm) which worked well other than the Pro Shop was a little crowded to check in. The process was relatively quick and painless though. All in all, a nice outing and a good course for the cost.

Great views on almost every hole.

Enjoyed the course very much. Interesting and challenging holes with great views. One minor problem was the greens, which had recently been aerated, so putting was difficult. But a great value.

Great views. Definitely worth the money.

Quite a few blind shots add to the course difficulty off the tee. Greens were quick but putted true. Traps had sand that was sand rather than baked clay. Extremely windy conditions (sometimes more than two clubs) created a very challenging day-but overall this course is one of my favorite Tucson area courses.

Nice course but...

I did not appreciate for one minute that they made me share a cart with a person I did not know, I paid my green fee which included a cart not a shared cart. That was a first for me and if I ever go back I will make sure that I book a twosome. Customer service in pro shop could be better.
