del Lago Golf Club sits at an elevation of 3,400 feet, enjoying a temperature that is five degrees cooler than Tucson in the summer, which makes a big difference under the hot Arizona sun. Winding through the hills and valleys of the high desert, the golf course features over 120 feet of elevation changes that present tricky uneven lies. The dramatic undulations also offer beautiful views of the Rincon and Santa Catalinas Mountain ranges. Golfers start at the highest point on the course and then play down into the valley before getting to the back nine, which plays along the Pantano Wash. The first hole is the only forced carry on the course, the remaining holes are friendlier off the tees. Seven lakes dot the golf course, coming into play on six holes, and there is also heavy bunkering around the greens.

Condition

The course was very over grown. Food and drink trash on all holes. Hole 16 had a pole of dirt in the middle of the green. No beverage cart services on either of the 9 holes. Plus side the greens were maintained nicely.

Ok. Prices are high for the value

For the price they are charging now, it’s ok. No water jugs, no bev cart and average course conditions. I was hoping my return back would be better.

Bad conditions

This course used to be beautiful! It is really run down. Greens are good but rest is in need of a lot of work. Can’t believe they have let is slide this much.

Great Layout, Poor Conditions

I haven't played Del Lago in a few years, but always remembered it as a very good layout that was always in very good condition. While still a great layout, other than the greens (which were in excellent condition!), the course conditions were quite poor. Fairways were pretty much dried up and didn't have any green grass, and the bunkers were borderline unplayable - hard and full of stones. For the price charged, it was not worth making the drive all the way out to Vail. They need to put some money into maintenance before I'll come back.

Greens in Great Shape

Best time of year to play. Unfortunately, the traps, like most in Tucson are filled with rocks. I usually drop out of the traps because I like my golf clubs. That being said, the greens are in fantastic shape right now. Now is the time to play Del Lago if you haven’t in a while.

Manicured!

Been playing here almost every Sunday, and now once during the week. For the last six months been very well maintained, staff if always accommodating, beverage cart seen at least three times per round, couldn’t ask for much more!

Greens and tee boxes were perfect. Fairways were harder than the parking lot. Fast and long rolls. No divets for sure. Sand was mostly ungroomed.

one of our favorites

We come to AZ each spring from the Upper Midwest -- for a month. Discovered this course last year. It is now one of our favorites. There are many tee boxes, and combos also -- so that there is a yardage suitable for everyone to enjoy the course. Scenery is wonderful also. Only negative: it's pretty far from where we usually stay.

Wind changes everything

I've played this course 20 or 30 times and it's always in great shape. But when the wind starts blowing, this corse changes!

Great Layout, Really Firm Greens

I was very impressed with the layout of this course, with a great variety of hole shapes and distances. It was my first time around but fortunately played with folks with course knowledge. I debated about the course condition score and my 3 star rating is mostly because of how firm the greens were. It was very difficult to hold the green on many of the holes, especially when downwind. A few greens are open to the ground game but many are wonderfully protected by imaginative bunkering or water. Unfortunately, these greens were hard to hold (I do not get as much spin on the ball as I did when I was younger). There were also some rough spots around the course and the sand in the bunkers was very inconsistent but that really doesn't bother me as much. The greens looked great and rolled well and some of the pin positions were challenging. So, many fun factors to this course. By the way, as others have mentioned, the fairways and especially the "rough" is also very firm so either hit straight tee shots or take less club to allow for all of the bounce and roll.
