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.

Preparing for fall

Had a good round. Be prepared as they are getting ready for fall. So the greens have sand and there’s work on the tee boxes. But it’s all good. Looking forward to fall and winter golf.

This course is long.

Hard long course. A lot of time spent in cart driving from the spread out hole layout. No water at all to drink on course so bring your own. Greens are very well kept. Hi vis balls easier to find on the dry fair ways.

Totally baked out

The fairways are totally baked out. The greens are perfect. They are clearly watering only the greens. The rest of the course is terrible.

Not as bad as the reviews!

For what is normally the most overpriced golf course in town, Del Lago was actually a decent value this time. The fairways are a little spotty, but the greens are fair! And during a Tucson summer thats all you can expect. You always get to practice your downhill lies on the driving range and the starter always asks "is this your first time playing here?" As if there is something unique about this course??? Normal etiquette will get you around just fine. Playable before 8/25, the punching is coming!

Bad bunkers!

The bunkers need help. Inconsistent sand or lack of it at all.

Great Course

I Played this course a few times last year but just haven’t made it out there this year till now. I forgot how fun this course is. It’s challenging with some tight fairways and great elevation changes. It makes for a fun time playing the course. It’s the middle of summer here in Tucson so it’s hot, but the course is still in great shape.

Fairways coming back to life

Compared to a month ago, these fairways have really improved. They aren't allowed to allocate enough water for the whole course, so they choose the greens/tee boxes, but the monsoons have started bringing the fairways back. A few more storms will do it. Greens are nice and putts are rolling true.

Starting to aerate.

Good overall experience. Bev cart was a little slow. They didn’t catch up to me until the 15th green. It was 98 degrees. Maybe they should have water coolers out every third hole for golfers for hydration, or allow personal coolers with water and Gatorade only. They are starting to aerate in prep for fall, so if you don’t like to play with tootsie rolls on the fairways, stay away.

Poor Del Lago

Del Lago has been going down in demise for a while now. It's too bad to see this happen to a once very fine course. Unfortunately for them and other courses, the caliber of golfers now a days really is bad. There's no Etiquette!!!! No one fixes ball marks , huge divots in the fairways.and tee boxes!!! Drive carts anywhere like it's an off road adventure. Del lago can't afford a marshal to maintain the caliber of bad players. They just recently aerated the fairways and kept the hole course open. I remember in the past when they aerate fairways or greens they would close half the course at a time to preserve their hard work. The left the whole thing open and the stupid reckless golfers tore leaving h out of the fairways . They should have put a 90* rule in, but probably no one would do it.

I don't know who is managing the course any more, but they are doing a bad job.

No marshall

First, it was 98 degrees, I saw the bev cart once and she was busy talking to another employee. Then a group of younger (20 something’s) in front of me were loud, driving their cart onto the collars, tee boxes and through sand traps and on the fairways of par 3’s. Not a great experience. This type of allowable behavior tends to chase away people. Do better

It’s the dry time

Tee boxes and fairways are dry…but it’s the time of the year.
