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.

Good day after Christmas!

Early morning tee times in Tucson are subject to frost warnings! No exception for this round. Almost 1 1/2 hour delayed start. Only complaint is that the course should be able to send out text or email blast to advise of delay. But starter did a great job of shuffling tee times and players to get things started, and even though we were all bunched up on the course, still played the round in about 4 hours 20. Course is in excellent condition.

Great layout!

First time. Course is a great layout, only thing that made me not give itv4 stars for conditions were the bunkers. Doesn’t look like they have a machine rake in a long time. There was sand in them just needs some maintenance for the few I was in Really enjoyed will be back

Beautiful course

Course is filled with spectacular views, enough elevation change to make it difficult according to tees and very well maintained.

Course can be played by every level of golfer due to the different tees. Ages of my group were 81, 56, 25 and 15 and the course was accommodating to our ages and ability.

Great value

Only complaint is that the bunkers were not maintained and very very inconsistent; based on being in 2 bunkers. 1 having grass and rocks, 1 having pure fluffy sand.

Poor Player Consideration

Green fee was prepaid thru GolfNow. Last nights weather report stated "breezy" wind conditions, However upon arrival at the course today, the WINDS were howling at what appeared 35-40 mph, or higher. Considered cancelling, but with my prepaid green fee, I didn't have time and/or access to GolfNow to cancel, so I checked in at the pro shop. I paid for a bag of range balls and moved on to the driving range. Tried to hit some warm up short irons, but the wind was challenging my stance, swing, and interest. The wind was blowing so hard that clubs and stands were being knocked over and head covers were blowing down the range. Decided to limit hitting balls and move to the putting green. Same problem as putts being adversely affected by the wind, and balls actually moving around when supposedly sitting on green. Then decided that was enough, and went to the pro shop to see if I could get a credit slip for my prepaid time so I could return when there were less weather/wind conditions. This request was denied with little concern for the issues involved. So I retired my interest in golf at del Lago GC for this day and possible for the foreseeable future. Having played del Lago GC many times, this was a regretable experiience..

Fun!

Course is a lot of fun! They recently got new golf carts which are very nice!

The bunkers need sand…bad.

A lot of golfers don’t aren’t to follow the rules about where to drive the carts, and thus some of the fairways are beat pretty bad. Some of the fairways could use some TLC and water.

Not going again

Play was extremely slow. The fairways were about average. The greens were about average but they were inconsistent speed. Rough, cart paths and fairway bunkers were poor.

Outstanding!

What a terrific course! The fairways and greens were in great shape and the layout is wonderful. We really enjoyed the variety of fairways, approaches, and greens - challenging, but not unmanageable for the average golfer. There were elevated tees that provided stunning views, and the bird life was remarkable. We also appreciated the presence of the players’ assistant on the course. We will definitely be back.

Played this course with my wife. First time we had played the course (on vacation). Although a bit windy, a very challenging beautiful course. Will definitely play it again whenever we are back this way. Definitely recommend.

Girlfriend’s 2nd Time Golfing - NEW GOLF CARTS!

So, I’m a beginner golfer myself, and I’ve been told this course is hard due to how narrow it can be, this was my girlfriend’s 2nd time ever playing the course. We had a blast! Yes, it was challenging starting off, but by hole four we were really enjoying ourselves.

The fairways are nice and pretty green, and the greens were smooth and provided a challenge. I wish the bunkers / sand traps actually had sand - they are really just rocks/pebbles.

The golf carts were brand new, which was an added little bonus. Finally, the cart girl made her way by our group at least three times? Super friendly staff - and will ply again!
