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.

Overall good course

Bunkers are unplayable - terrible. Rocks . Good job overseeding the golf course. Ranger needs to do a better job managing pace of play. Greens good.

Always a good time

Play the course every couple of months. SUPER windy today so challenging course was that much more challenging. Super bowl sunday so we were leisurely golfing with no pace of play issues. Sand traps are an absolute joke and they tell you to drop out of them. Greens were lightning fast and very challenging. Starter ALWAYS has to give you a 3-5 minute spiel despite telling him you've played here a lot.

Nice Course in a Nice Community

Our foursome played Del Lago since our rental home was located nearby. Overall we were very happy with the experience. The staff was terrific and the layout of the course was very interesting. Pace of play was slow but the marshal was doing his job, and it appeared he twice had the 2 seasoned citizens in front of us skip a hole. The holes were very scenic and many had elevated tees. The only negative was the sandless bunkers. We decided to take a drop outside the bunkers rather than sacrificing our clubs. My suggestion would be to fix them or eliminate them as it detracts from a very nice course. After our round we had a couple drinks in their outdoor area and watched others flail their way up the 18th. It's a practice that helps me with perspective. Overall, Del Lago was a nice surprise for the price. We'll be back.

My Review from 2/10/22

I’ve played here before and remember the course to be in better shape

Rates have risen and conditions not as good

Cart paths are terrible and rough

Traps were terrible while I was only in two

Best part of round was beverage cat girl

Great service and personality

The pro shop was not open to public only a window to pay. The golf cart paths could be greatly improved. The greens were very challenging.

The map it that was on your web site was very wrong. We ended up in a subdivision about 6 miles away. Lucky I had copied the address and could goggle map it. Got there just in time. We had this happen also when we played Dove Mountain. We will not rely on your web site maps, which is too bad.

Fun course and great layout

This course is a fun challenge for a 12 handicapper like myself. The course was in amazing shape and has really good greens for the season. They are soft and not anywhere as fast as most courses in Tucson. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in very good shape but as mentioned in other reviews, the bunkers are not the best and contained lots of rocks. Don't let the bunkers be a determining factor as the course as a whole is simply great. I would definitely recommend this.

Great course

Unfortunately I picked a windy and cold day to play,

But the course was great. The layout, the condition and the greens were awesome. The people I joined were very nice as well. The starter was nice. The only negative was the lack of better sand in bunkers. Only had one shot out of them, so wasn’t too bad. I definitely recommend this course.

First Visit

Had never played the course before. There was a huge frost delay but they managed to get us in right at our scheduled tee time. Starter gave us a few pointers about which tee boxes to play and off we went. The course is in excellent shape and is very challenging, but since we played from forward tees it was very enjoyable. The next time would be even more fun now that I have seen how to play several holes. My friend was visiting from St. Louis and had great time. Would definitely recommend this course. Pace of play was a little slow but we finished in about 4 and 1/2 hours. The club house was closed so we couldn’t see the off course amenities.

Tee boxes, pin placements and bunkers

There are numerous reviews about the ongoing problems with bunkers having little or no sand...

The cart paths are getting worse all the time. Beats up the carts and beats up the players.

Course layout:

They place the tee markers in the most insane manner... frequently within 2 feet from the very back of the tee box. You hardly have room for your back foot, sometimes no room for a backswing. On 14, I've seen the tee blocks pointed at Denver, not the fairway. On 13 they sometimes tuck them so far to the right, you can only see 1/3 of the green. Obviously, the people doing this have never played golf and/or they don't care. I have no idea if there is any training done by management, or if management cares.

Pin positions are frequently way too difficult for the public.: If it's a front pin on # 9, it's usually placed way left on the slopey drop off. There's miniscule chance for an average player to get an approach shot under the hole.. therefore lots of 3 and 4 putts. Just an example - there are lots of other tough pin positions on the course they favor, and some days they do it throughout the course. Some tough pin placements per day is okay, but what this course does to the public frequently is a big contributor to rounds that go 5 hours or longer, and is not fun for a lot of people.

Bad day at the beach

Interesting layout and impressive course conditions with one glaring exception: The traps are unplayable -- at least they were for me on this day. Quality of sand/conditioning are the issues. Starter said course has budget for improvements, but sand is in short supply due to demands of residential development. Still one of our favorite courses and well worth the drive to Vail.
