About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
Experience
No body said it was cart path only till we arrived. Too far to just turn around. No handicap accomodation. lot of walking but pace of play was very good. This was our only issue
Maintenance crew
Most courses you play the maintenance crew will stop the loud noise makers when you are going to hit a shot. Not this place. Business as usual. Shredding trees, driving carts toward you on fairway when you are about to hit a shot.
What happened?
Fairways were totally dead grass and pace of play was horrendous. Usually love del lago but something is going on. Cart kept almost dying on us and waited on every tee box for 15 minutes.
Nice layout / Decent value
Love the course layout. Gold tees for high single-digit handicap were perfect. Bunkers are crap - like most public courses. Greens were pretty good for a muni. Cart paths are beat up - get on grass ASAP. BRING YOUR OWN WATER!! There was none on the course and we only saw the beverage cart once - on the 9th hole and not at all on the back. Any hotter and it would have been a significant problem.
Hit it straight!
First of all I'm 67 and a 19 index. At elevation in Tucson, I can still hit about 220 for desert golf, about 205 at sea level at home. I never hit the range much before a round preferring to get it going in the first few holes. Advice: Warm up at the range. The first tee box is a 180 carry to the fairway and the next tee back is 220. The 2nd hole visually looks like a postage stamp. Many of the fairways are a little narrow for me when missing puts you in cactus. Overall, I need a second chance here. The bunkers weren't consistent and neither were the greens. However, a great value for the money!
Fun course
Great staff?course maintained wonderfully. Fair course with lots of options for different level players.
