del Lago Golf Club

We've played this course multiple times and always have a blast. The terrain and set up is by far the best in the area, and course is always well kept!

Can't wait to set up the next T time

Greens are in great shape.... great value for the price. Hole one wakes you up right away

I've played Del Lago literally 1000 times and never seen it in such poor condition. The greens were in good shape, but had not been mowed in at least a day. The fairways were baked out and brown. I can go lots of places and play off nasty hardpan, I expect better of Del Lago.

My golf buddy and I drove 39 miles from the NW side of town to enjoy some true desert golf. It had been a while since I've played here, and the course is still a challenging treat. And it was a first for me starting on hole 10. Though the two of us had a 1016 tee time, the starter was courteous to allow us to launch early in front of 3 foursomes of a men's group. We slowly left them behind and were finished in 3.5 hours. 30 minutes of that was searching for the 7 balls I lost however I found 15 in the process. The greens were in fine condition, and the 'dry heat' allowed the drives to run. Kudos - maybe having the starter remind folks to sand fill divots on the driving range ingrains the habit to follow on the fairways of the course. Greens 10-18 were not punched like the practice green however holes 1-9 were punched and faster. That information could have helped knowing from the start. Though my score was not celebratory, we had fun with a strong finish. Recommend.

This is a very challenging course with trouble left and right in most holes. There are many blind shots. The greens were in great shape and a bit hard so there was run out in most shots hitting the green. The fairways were very hard, dry and fast with many bare spots and hard. The bunkers were rough and hard to play out of due to compacted sand. There was a great chipping area, small practice putting green and adequate driving range. The clubhouse hadcs restaurant and bar thst were very nice.

Conditions were the worst I have seen in 10 years. The greens and tee boxes were green, but the fairways were absolutely dead, and looked like they had not seen water in months. The entire day was spent like I was hitting in waste areas, except I was in the middle of the fairway. It’s hard to play well when the course is in such poor condition. I won’t return.

The course and staff were absolutely amazing with the exception of Rocky that worked the desk. Just seemed unhappy to be there and not very friendly

Horrible course conditions. The only grass is on the tee boxes and greens. Greens rolled way too slow.

Hard to find and green grass on any fairway besides the 18th hole.

I would maybe play this course again if it were 20$

I used to live in Southern AZ while I was in the Army. I failed to remember the lack of water in AZ and just what that means. This past week I played several courses in Arizona. All much more expensive than Del Lago. This place has a great driving range and a great place to eat. The golf carts have actual get up and go. But-most important of all Del Lago has the best grass.. the best Tee boxes,, the best fairways, the very best greens. The course itself is chalenging enough for anyone---each hole has 4 tee boxes.. water hazards are in play on many holes--but--with some brains and planning they can be avoided. If you are in the Tucson area--this is the place to play.

This was our first time at this course. As high handicap

golfers. We found the course very challenging. Some Narrow fairways, water and desert hazards took a toll on us.

We had a good time overall. And we will be back. If you like a challenge, come try this course.

Very good staff.

Challenging layout but fair. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a very windy day so it made the course harder than it should be. The greens were consistent and rolled true.

This is the middle of April so I was expecting the fairways to be greener. There is a lot dirt or very tight lies throughout the fairways. More reclaimed water on these fairways will help. However, as dry as the fairways were, the greens were in perfect shape. Plenty of water here. Greens were very challenging but putted true. I played Del Lago ten years ago and the fairways were never this dry in April. As always, the pro shop and snack bar folks were very friendly and helpful.

Course is in terrible shape and the only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because the greens are in great condition. Fairways are the same color as the desert rough so with this being my first time playing the course it was difficult to know where I was aiming my tee shots or how much fairway I truly have for misses. I read another review comparing the fairways to concrete and would completely agree. The tee boxes are completely torn up as well. On top of all this I get there with a short amount of time to spare thinking me and my buddy have enough time to spare to split a small bucket (maybe 10 shots each). I was not trying to do a dull warm up but just put some contact shots out there before teeing off. Once the starter saw what time it was he told me to put the balls back after I had already paid for them and then proceeds to talk to me about snakes breeding, if I have played this course before, if I was sure I want to play from the tee boxes I told him I was playing at, and then began explaining to me basic golf etiquette as if it was my first time on the golf course. The conversation went past my tee time that he was certain about me not being hitting a few shots before so I wouldn’t miss that time. I was disappointed but also found it hilarious to be explained basic golf etiquette with the terrible conditions the course is in. When I went and talked to the club house after my round they told me I cannot get a refund but get the small bucket I paid for the next time. I am upset at the fact I lost a few bucks on a small bucket of balls but the principal is what upsets me the most because I paid for the bucket with the intention of being able to make contact with a few balls before teeing off and paid beforehand but was told no shortly after paying. I know I was told I could use the small bucket the next time out but quite frankly there will not be a next time for me period. It is not worth the drive out to play a course that all 5 city courses are in better condition in year round with staff who won’t work either their players for a good experience.

This is my second time playing at Del Lago, and while the layout of the course has potential, the overall experience continues to fall short. The fairways had several brown patches and bare spots, which made for inconsistent lies. The greens were extremely slow—slower than what you'd expect even for a casual round.

But the biggest issue, both times I've played here, is the pace of play. I found myself waiting on almost every shot because the groups ahead were so backed up. It really disrupted the flow of the game and made for a frustrating experience.

Unless they find a way to speed up play and improve course conditions, I’m not in a hurry to come back for a third round.

Greens were a tad slow but with the hot and dry weather that we have had I wouldn't want them to burn, greens were in good condition.
