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.

Del Lago dried out
Have always liked this layout and have played it several times.
The greens and tee boxes were in good shape.
The fairways were probably 60-70 percent dead grass and dirt.
I don't know what has happened and how long they can continue to operate with the course in this shape.
Really to bad to see the decline of a once nice course.
Burnt grass fairways
I really enjoy Del Lago. The layout has a selection of holes with character. However, the fairways have little to no grass. So, if you're looking to get 20+ extra yards of roll to feed your ego then tee it up. But, if decent conditions are a must, you might want to venture elsewhere.
Slow play
They allowed a 5some, teenagers, to play. I like they are out and learning the game, but they slowed down a lot of people.
Great Course. Awesome Staff.
I have played this course many times over many years. Unfortunately, due to water allocation issues beyond the facilities control, the fairways are dormant. The superintendent last almost 75% of his water allocation and was forced to make the decision to keep his greens and tees alive and forgo watering the fairways, at the worst possible time of the year. It is still a wonderful course to play, and hopefully the water issue will be resolved.
No grass!!!
From tee to green, this is the worst course conditions I have ever seen. There is no grass on the entire course outside of the greens. Every single shot was hit off dirt. Not worth playing unless you enjoy hard pack dirt and sand for fairways and rough.
Thirsty
We’ve played this course many times in the past and this was our first time in a couple years. It was in the worst condition I’ve seen a course in Tucson in over a decade. The greens were as amazing as we expect from Del Lago but it ends there. You were blessed if you found any grass in the fairways. The majority was just plain dirt. Even the signature 18th which used to have a picturesque creek running through it was barren. It’s a shame as the layout and location when green make it a top 5 course in So. Az. We were told there is a water issue with the city. There should at least be warning about had bad a shape the course is in. One can hope they find a water solution or they may be in danger of becoming a permanent part of the Sonoran Desert again.
Smoked fairways and hairy greens
The fairways are totally burnt and very little grass. The greens are soft and a bit shaggy to keep the putting slow. No restaurant and just the bar that sells hotdogs. Overall it’s going downhill fast.
Fairways just this side of dirt.
This course has fallen quite a bit from a glory days of a few years ago. Fairways were horrific as well as 90% of the bunkers. Greens were ok as well as most of the tee boxes. Some kinda water situation going on. Seems to be that they are dependent on rainwater for the fairways and ponds, they were very low. Use to really enjoy playing here. Will wait till the monsoons green it up.
Fairways
Tee boxes and greens in pretty good shape. Fairways are rough and more dirt and sand than grass. Needs help.
Bad experience
Course is decent but the club is going through an ownership change and the service is TERRIBLE. Wanted to get some food at the turn but many things unavailable and the female bartender was extremely RUDE! She took my credit card then threatened not to give it back to me. Then she said she was going to have me kicked off the course. I have NEVER, EVER had a course personnel ever say that to me. I will never go there again. Many other courses with good, courteous service. NOT WORTH THE TRIP!
we always love playing the course, and right now I understand the need for rain is what's holding it back from being in great condition. tee boxes and greens were as good as they could be.
Fun in the sun
Good course, lots of wildlife to enjoy if you’re looking while waiting, which wasnt that much this time around. Greens and tee boxes were ok, the fairways need some love. But I’ll go back. Fun to play.
Tough Course
I am by all definition a duffer and find this course very challenging to difficult. Many holes have a substantial carry off the tee to avoid this desert, water, of marsh plants. Even a couple of blind curves where there is water you can see on the side of the fairway. Very pretty course and was in good shape. With deserts bordering each hole and the mentioned hazards I donated numerous golf balls.
