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.

Been a while
This is the first time I played this course since the late 1990's and I live within 5 miles. I had a much better experience than playing Starr Pass a week earlier.
Green in June
The course was in excellent shape for the end of June. The fairways were all green, no burnt-out areas, and the greens were good. Had some weather come in and it cooled things off and made the last 8 holes pleasant.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and five stars. We really appreciate it! And, yes, it is always such a relief when a little weather comes thru and cools things off. Happy to read you all had a great time!
Really nice
The greens were in great condition the fairways were beautiful the staff was cool and the tee boxes weren't too shabby. They have the nicest golf carts
Fun round!
The greens have been recently aerated and are ready for another sanding. Course should be great in a few weeks! Pace of play was great, finished in less than 4 hours. Staff was friendly, look forward to playing there again in the near future.
Thank you so much for your review. We are happy to read you had a good round and the pace of play was acceptable. We look forward to seeing you back on the links!
Waffle greens
The greens were recently punched, they are about ready for another sanding. They should be great in a few weeks! Pace of play was excellent. Played as a twosome and finished in under four hours! Never saw other groups either ahead or behind us! Had a great time!!!
Slow pace of play. Greens weren’t very good. Nice layout.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. This season, for agronomical reasons, we did not overseed the fairways, and we apologize that your golfing experience did not meet your expectations. However, we hope you will give us another chance by coming back late spring/summer when the fairways are no longer dormant. We will look forward to seeing you again on the links!
Beautiful Day
Great day to play golf. Course was in good shape, rhe greens were even better.
Take Your Money and Game Elsewhere
Not sure if they rebuilt the greens themselves a few years back or hired it out but either way fire the internal builder or get your money back. After all this time still rock hard and patchiness of grass. Understanding they don't over-seed fairways, they are limited in dormant Bermuda grass as things are just coming to life, so expect lots of run off the tee. Indoor staff was certainly nice enough, but another example of how a Ranger (who is probably a volunteer there to get free golf) ruins the day. We were let off the fist tee not on our exact time and no one in from or behind. By the fourth hole, Ranger Rick was telling us we were behind even though no one in front or behind waiting. We played as a foursome in under four hours, so you tell me how that constitutes any discussion about pace. This is my 3rd and last time I will play at this facility....way too much money for a resident guest fee w/ cart for conditions and service we experienced. El Con up the street is a much better option.

The Views
Nice track with hard and fast fairways. Greens not the best but playable. And the views of the mountains were great on most every hole. The local bar and restaurant were great and had live music.
Thank you so much for the five star review. We appreciate it!
No grass
Great views hence the name. Course has great bones but for whatever reason they don’t overseed in the winter. I have played this course many times in the past and as a rule in good shape, but now no grass just hard pan painted dormant Bermuda . I also don’t get why they the greens are like cement! I will play here again but not until the summer grass is back.
Thank you for your review. All feedback is appreciated. We look forward to seeing you back on the links soon!
Thank you for your review. All feedback is appreciated. We hope to see you back soon!
We will be back.
I would like to play here again before giving a true review of this course.
Dont play here
The course is in terrible condition. No consistency in bunkers. Some are hardpan, some are fluffy. None are well maintained. Groundskeekers use machine grooming that leaves deep wide furrows. They don't bother to smooth out. Worse rhan footprints. The greens, not overseeded, have places where 6 old hole plugs are within a 4 foot diameter circle. They have had to resort to placing 2 hole locations on every green. It doesn't look like the superintendent ever goes out to inspect the conditions , or oversee and supervise the workers.
The fairways are not overseeded. They're matted down and roll like linoleum. Very very tight lies. The areas around the greens on severl holes are covered in crabgrass (now dead) that make chippin or putting very difficult.

Painted fairways
This is one of my favorite local courses. Unfortunately the management decided to skip overseeing this winter. Painted fairways and greens really detract from the experience.

Practically perfect!
Last played this course on the day before they closed to replace greens. Happy to report that project turned out well -- the greens now are a bit firm, but otherwise healthy and smooth. Overseed went well - tees and fairways have grown in nicely. Beautiful weather made for a terrific day on the links. Cart girl is extremely cute. Beware the javelinas grazing just off the cart path behind the 18th green.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. We appreciate it! Glad to read you had a great time and we look forward to seeing you back on the links, soon.
Lots of fun. Tip: Rend the motor scooter
This course is highly recommended for a super fun golf round. I rented a set of clubs and rode the motor scooters they have as an alternative to a cart or walking. This course has a nice short game practice area and driving range. The fairways are generous and the greens are undulating enough to be a nice challenge. The pro shop staff and restaurant staff are friendly and attentive. Can't wait for my next round at The Views.
Thank you so much for the five stars and sharing your detailed feedback with the community. Very happy to read you had a good time on the scooters. Lots of people seem to enjoy them. Looking forward to seeing you back on the links soon!
Forgiving desert course
My husband and I had never played here before and we're pleasantly surprised to find a very playable desert layout after a week of frustrating rounds at other courses. The fairways were fairly forgiving off the tee, with strategically placed slopes often helping a less than perfect shot stay in play. The greens, while often elevated and requiring an extra club (or two), were medium fast and putted true - by far the best we played this week. Recent rain had made the fairways soggy in spots, and some of the bunkers still had significant puddles, but other than some decreased roll there was no impact to our enjoyment of this course.
Thank you very very much for the five stars and sharing your detailed review with the community. And we are thrilled to read it was the best you played during your stay here in Tucson. Please come back and see us again!
So happy to read you had an amazing time. And thank you for the five stars! We hope to see you back again soon!
