del Lago Golf Club
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.

Fun time
Course was great
New management has done good things
Overall conditions of the course are vastly improved, the greens are immaculate (and play much slower than they used to), still needs a little work on the sand traps (lots of rocks). Still, great course to play.
Del Lago
First time playing this course, nice practice facilities and beautiful area. Wildlife (quail, rabbits, road runners and even saw a crane) throughout the course. Must stay on the fairways otherwise there is desert, water or houses. Some tee boxes require you to clear a small stretch of desert to make the fairway. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. Some holes you cannot see the greens from the tee box (right or left) so you might want to research the course layout before or while playing, there was no layout attached to the score card. Seem to be more single players than groups playing this course, best to let them play through to keep the pace moving. Nice course and would like to play again.
Slow greens
Coming out of being punched. Greens very slow. Good pace as hot and very few golfers. No water on course or bev cart. Make sure you stock up on water prior to going out.
Great course for the cost
First time at the course but fortunately played with someone who knew the course and could help identifying where water came into play. Nice layout and great marker at beginning suggesting trees based on handicap. Only downside is that most bunkers don't really have sand but fortunately wasn't a big problem for me. Pro shop staff were very helpful and was able to easily recover lost items two days later. Being plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Golf meet
First time out at rancho del lago and we have a great. Time
Punched greens.
Not fair to evaluate with punched greens. Ruined the experience. Should be fine in 2 weeks.
Great track! Wonderful morning!
To preface my review - I'm 64, work at another Tucson golf course, play 5 days a week carrying an 9 handicap. I had heard good things about Del Lago GC from many of the golfers I have played with (most were Del Lago members that came to my club for a change), so I decided to make the 55 minute drive to play a round. The GM was behind the Pro Shop counter and was a pleasure to talk with. The driving range is standard with good quality balls. Great for loosening up. The course is in great condition for the beginning of summer! Greens had been punched, dressed and rolled a couple of days earlier. When I heard that, I expected the worst. I was pleasantly surprised on #1 green! They were really good, a little slower than I like, but the ball rolled true and broke a expected. The course is a lot of fun! Challenging, beautiful and it has some really interesting holes. Neither my buddy, nor I, had ever played this course. With no "local knowledge" of the course layout and slopes, the round was a learning experience! As with many local courses, errant shots into the brush are gone. Take the penalty and drop a ball! Five different tee locations to suit players of all abilities. After a 3-1/2 hour round I couldn't stop smiling! It was a blast! I will definitely be making the drive again in the not too distant future!
Notify if half the course is shut down
Arrived at my tee time to find out that half the course was closed for maintenance. I booked on Golf Now for full price and there was no notification regarding the status of the course. Others playing that day were paying substantially less due to the lack of 18 holes (repeated back 9 to get a full 18). Del Lago ought to make notifications if half the course is shut down, my email and phone number were provided via Golf Now, and they definitely should have offered a discount. I was not pleased. (Course was in good condition, is a good course to play but customer service is lacking regarding the issues I just covered).
Tough course. Certainly one of the most challenging courses I've been to. Deadly Greenside bunkers on some holes. Greens were the fastest I've played on but my playing partner said it was slower than before. The price was cheap but idk if I'd put myself through that front 9 again until I get better. The cart attendant was super cool too. And she came by more than a few times vs other courses.
Couple cons. Practice balls were pretty expensive. It was around 20 balls for the price of a full bucket in other places. But I guess the cheap price compensates. And then pace of play came to a 5-10 min wait per hole on the back 9. Some foursome a couple groups up was having a tougher time than I was.
Very fun layout
I really enjoyed playing the course. The starter and course ranger were very friendly and helpful with recommended shots on certain holes. The course is scenic, challenging, and fun. I will play there again.
Starter is annoying
If you tell the starter you’ve played there before he shouldn’t go through his entire lecture, it’s really annoying. He’s a nice guy but enough is enough.
tough course
always a tough course for me be we really like the place
