Vac is Ranch

Good course with great grass. The layout is interesting and challenging but it’s a fair course. The only drawback are the gravel pits that they call sand traps.

Maybe turn the sand traps into grass bunkers?!?

Wonderful Day on a Beautiful Course

Teeing off before 8am on a beautiful day anticipating a wonderful time with friends focusing on golf and pace of play with groups of keen golfers, it was a little disappointing to take 21/2 hours to play 9 holes as there were no golfers visible in front of the group ahead of us. At #10 we were allowed to play through as one of their group had gone into the clubhouse. We finally caught the group in front of us on the 18th hole after completing the back 9 in one hour and 20 minutes. It was very nice to get a rhythm going as we moved along playing ready golf. It would be wonderful if all groups followed the number one rule in golf which is keep up with the group in front of you. The joy at the pace of play on the back nine led to it being a wonderful day on an absolutely wonderful course.

A little difficult heading to hole 10

Nice course, tee boxes, fairways, and greens all in good shape. Has powered carts were a bit loud.

Perfect weather
Used cart

So, so

There is no sand in most bunkers, and the greens seemed to roll at different paces. Groups seemed to be starting at intervals that were too short causing waits immediately.

Terrible customer service. Todd and Haley have awful attitudes.

We were about 2 minutes late for our teetime (coming from Vail to Green Valley), and were treated as if we were holding everybody up. Todd gave us attitude as soon as we walked up, I apologized and went to check in, the lady inside was also extremely rude. I get up to the tee to meet my group and they were still waiting on the group in front of us! Decided to call it a day after 9 holes because of slow pace (did not see one ranger) and as i was trying to return my cart our lovely gentleman Todd made another appearance and told me I was going the wrong way, I told him I was just leaving and told him everybody was rude. His response was “because you were late”. I didn’t realize being 2 minutes late gave them a reason to treat me and my friend like crap. I called the course and asked to talk to a manager and got put on the phone with Haley, who has no clue what she’s doing, responded “uhhhh I wasn’t here for that” and then told me she was not a manager. Super unprofessional behavior from everyone at this course today. I promise I will not be going back here and will tell everyone I know to avoid this course.

Always a Treat

Other than no sand in the bunkers,( isn't there sand in the desert?) the course was in great shape with spectacular views. Joe was very helpful in organizing the starting and although they were running a little behind, everyone was in good spirits. Every hole is unique with changes in the terrain up and down like a toilet seat at a mixed party. The cart lady was very friendly and if you didn't enjoy yourself out there, it was your own fault. Great way to spend the day and worth the lengthy drive from East Tucson. Just listen to some peaceful music and enjoy the journey.
