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.

Great course and staff

Everyone we encountered at this golf course was friendly and professional. The course itself was in great shape, challenging and fun to play.

Slow play. Rude patrons.

Very slow play. Waited on every tee box, often 5+ minutes.

Local patrons behind us hit our cart once and twice criticized us for slow play. Not true, very rude. Acted like they owned the place and didn't tolerate visiting players.

Poor value

For what we paid the course was not good. Greens need rolled and had uneven growth making putting very irregular. Bunkers are terrible and no divot sand on tee boxes. Pace of play was very very slow. Poor value.

Can’t Bring Kids

Tried to bring my 5 year old for a round. They told me I’d have to hold him on my lap and can’t have a cart for us. I tried to pay a riders fee. They still said no. I’ll never come here again. I was told it was their new golf directors policy. He didn’t care if a kid wanted to watch their Dad play. Course will always be 3 out of 5. I’ve played here a ton. It’s never better than that. But they’ll try to charge you this way. They started this new bag system in stead of baskets and they never have any. The starter never knows where the balls are, most of the workers complain about the conditions. Go somewhere else and have a far better round for less.

Excellent Course, Questionable Pace Requirements

Overall, this is a fantastic course. Everything was in great shape, even greens just after overseeding. Challenging course which challenges you at every tee shot as you are not able to swing and play from anywhere. If you are not straight bring some extra balls!

Only two concerns from my experience and first time playing. First was it is hard to understand your distances without very easy to find markers. There are markers on the fairways and along the path, but not always found or existing from what I saw. Not having my GPS app or a range finder made getting distances hard as the fairway markers were hard to spot and as I mentioned, the yardage stakes along the path were either non existent or hard to spot. My second concern was having a marshal have our group speed up play chasing a twosome and having multiple foursomes behind us. We finished our front in 2 hours and back in 2.25 hours. Under 4.5 hour round is freaking excellent for a weekend, so it is hard to understand why we had to keep up with a twosome ahead with the pace of play we were maintaining.

DelLago had only opened a couple of days before we played due to over seating. The course is in great shape, and the pace of play was good considering we were cartpath only

We have played this course several times, and would recommend to anyone who is interested in a challenging course that is always in great shape.

All around good time

It’s been years since I have been out to Lago.. it’s a fun course and if you tend to hit it all around…they have cleared some desert areas to help w forgiveness. They are just coming out of over-seed so expect soft and somewhat inconsistent conditions. We were cart path only and still got around in just under 4 hours… a few more days and that restriction will be lifted. So,,, if you haven’t been out to Del Lago in awhile give it a go. If you live in the area go twice!

Wait until it grows

This course needs more time after overseed to grow. They unfortunately permitted singles and twosomes out by themselves.early Saturday morning. Really jammed up the flow. When questioned the ranger said they refused to join others. Sad that they were able to dictate the pace of full foresomes. Fun layout and challenging course and will consider again after grow time.

Dead cart.

My cart had a weak charge. I was just able to nurse it through from 6 to 8 but had to skip 9 to take it in for replacement.

Unreasonably slow

There was a 3 to 4 minute wait on every shot. Front 9 took almost 3 hours. Course was not that busy though. It turns out there was a huge gap a few holes ahead as two groups were holding things up. There was a ranger on course, but apparently was occupied doing something else.
