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.

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.

Del Lago

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.

Beautiful day on the course

My game has been really off for awhile. I shot a terrible round but this course was fair and in great shape. I enjoyed my experience. Had my regular game been back I am sure I would have scored very well. The tee boxes have nice grass. What a concept. The greens rolled true. The fairways were immaculate and if you missed you still had a decent shot for the most part. The only improvements are the traps. They are pretty hard. Thought my sand wedge was gonna fold in half. Very nice facilities and staff. Check the weather. I hear it's very challenging in the wind.

Course difficulty

If you can hit the ball straight off the tee then this is the course for you.if you’re off the fairways good luck finding your ball.the greens are fantastic and challenging.

Maybe one day

Maybe one day this course will come back to its original glory. The layout was outstanding and it challenged my game which is my number one goal. There were bad patches on the course and driving in the cart path felt like a roller coaster ride. For the seniors. I would drive carefully because you can be thrown off. There were a few holes that were not marked properly which was surprising. In a windy day this course will challenge you. All in all it was a nice track.

del Lago Golf

It was a great and fun day of golf. We played mid-morning and the weather was spectacular and we were never rushed. It was our first time playing this course and we played with a single who plays here regularly.

It’s a challenging, but fun course made even better by the price paid. The single we played with knew the course layout which helped us tremendously.
