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.

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.

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 in the spring when the fairways are no longer dormant. We will look forward to seeing you again on the links!

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.

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.

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.

Weather did not permit play

Heavy rain and lots of lightning in the area prohibited play. Returned home to find no power for nearly 2 hours and no internet, so I was unable to cancel until now. I therefore request a refund.

love this layout, and the minor changes to a couple holes are an improvement. Greens had just been punched and sanded and were mega slow but should be great in a few weeks.

The layout is interesting

I thought the layout was fun, needed to be in the correct side of the fairway.

Greens were just punched so they were slow and bumpy.

There is no water on the course, but they do not want coolers.

Greens are hard as a rock. They also forces you to ride two to a cart. Won’t be playing there any time soon.
