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.

beautiful but sneaky

My wife and I have played this course many times. It always surprises us how difficult it is to score here. The course is in great shape. The "views" are wonderful. The greens are challenging. It is worth the money.

This course has nice views and is in a peaceful setting.

This was my first time at the Views. Golf shop staff was very professional and friendly. The course winds through a nice residential neighborhood, and the houses are set back enough that they aren't bothersome. Tee boxes are flat. Great variety of golf holes, including a few short par 4's and a par five that I reached in two with driver / three wood. Nice variety in par 3's. Fairway bunkers and well-bunkered greens. Moderate size greens were in excellent shape... fast w/ subtle breaks. Some of the fairways looked dormant, but most were beautiful and lush. Looking forward to playing here again.

Generally satisfying experience, truly has great views

I always enjoy this course although not one of the best in Tucson. The bunkers seem to get an excessive amount of animal traffic so your ball is often in a foot print.

The views of the Catalina mountains in the Tucson are outstanding. The course was well maintained, well designed, and the staff was courteous.

The Views golf course is aptly named, providing outstanding views of the Catalina mountains in the Tucson area from every hole. The course is well-maintained with many challenging golf holes. The staff was courteous and friendly.

A Tucson Gem With Stunning Views

This course lives up to its' name - The Views! My husband and I started playing this course 4 years ago and despite this area of AZ having a multitude of nice courses to choose from, more often than not we will choose to play here. The greens are meticulously maintained and smooth as glass. Challenging too - what with the size of each and varying levels and slopes of many of the 18. Greens are guarded by well-placed (challenging) bunkers. The course is obviously well-cared for by staff and there has never been a time when we have received anything less than a fantastic golf experience, from beginning to end. If you've never golfed here, you are missing out on one of Tucson's little-known gems!

Great viws

Even though we were not permitted to use the driving range to warm up on a cold, wet morning (machine to pick up range balls was not in service), the course was nice, challenging and staff were very friendly.

Like the name says - great views.

Played in the 11:30 shotguns. Fairly crowded, but good pace of play (4 Hours). Had to wait on a spot at the driving range.
Course was in good shape and a challenge with the many grass pot bunkers and collection areas.

Payed $41 via golfnow prepay - very good value.

Good course avg. shape.

While challenging, not overly friendly or welcoming. Seemed more concerned with pushing you out than welcoming you in. Cost for value avg. Better than some but not on the same level as other resort courses we played for the same $ amount or less. Service was non-existent except for the ranger that chased us around the course even though we were not holding anyone up. Said they were full but did not appear that way.

Good layout, great condition, plays to its' rating

The only issue, is that it is very popular so the rounds are slow. Playing as a twosome is not a good idea if ypou want to keep a rhythm going.

This is a long course, well kept, but not very challenging.

The fairways are wide, many greens can not be viewed from the T box, multiple T boxes nicely placed for all levels of play. Course is well kept, but the views are not much and the variety and challenge is just not enough to keep me coming back. Many better courses in this price point.

Fun course! The greens were in perfect shape and the fairways were nice - maybe just a little shaggy. The rough is coming in but not super yet.

This was my first time playing The Views and I'll definitely go back. I play several Tucson courses on golfnow.com and this will now be in my regular lineup.
