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.

Great! Thank you for visiting us at del Lago Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
NEVER BETTER SHAPE
I've been playing Del Lago for more than 15 years now and the course has never been in better shape. The sand bunkers need work but ownership and management are addressing that issue. The fairways are firm and well groomed.
The greens are playing about 10 on the Stimp meter. The only real issue is that the players don't fill in their divots or fix their ball marks on the greens.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at del Lago Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great Condition
Great course and conditions were great . Course was in great shape and the beverage girl was great.
Wonderful! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing del Lago Golf Club.
Fun track, friendly staff, needs a Marshall
Check in staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The starter "Lou" went way out of his way to make sure we had some knowledge of the course. He even marked the course map to show us the best way to approach each hole. The only drawback of this course we were told is that it's always WINDY!! Today was no exception. There was a very slow group on the course holding several groups up and they had no intentions of allowing anyone to play through. Needs a Marshall to perhaps educate the non-golfer types who are clueless on golf etiquette.
You are correct. The course has improved tremendously over the last 12 months due to an outstanding Super. Ranger is needed and hopefully as play increases, they will see the light. We do have rangers on the weekend but I know it can get frustrating if one group is holding everything up. Hope you will give it a try again.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing del Lago Golf Club.
Great Course for the Money
This is a great layout and course designed by Gary Penz out of Chicago. The layout is great and very challenging. One that you can play many times and never get board playing. Unlike other desert courses this one has elevation changes and your shot down between desert hills. Green are great Bermuda and very challenges. Speed probably around 10 when we played. Traps need work but I think all traps on all courses need help. Just a great course for the money and speed of play was excellent at 4:10. One of the best layouts and courses in Tucson. Definitely worth the trip to Vail.

del Lago Disappointed
I'm very disappointed in the conditions of the course for the price. I paid $72 (afternoon tee time) and the course played like a $30 hard pan city course. Here are how the conditions played on 3/6/21.
Tee Boxes: 4/5 They where green and well taken care of
Fairway: 2/5 Fairway was green but they buzzed the grass down so short that it was like playing off a hard pan super tight lie. Really hurt my scoring, what happened to fluffy fairways?
Rough: 0/5 Dormant, I really hate that all the courses let their rough die in the winter.
Greens: 4/5 Greens were good but not fantastic. Green speed good although it was on the slow side, but not painfully slow.
Bunkers: 1/5 Terrible bunkers. Large rocks in the bunkers that put gashes in your wedges. I gave up and stopped playing the bunkers after the 3rd hole because they were that bad. If rocks were not bad enough the sand was terrible too.
Overall disappointed in the course conditions. There are a lot better conditions for around $35 or $50 in the area. This is a great course, it just needs some work on the fairways and bunkers. Hope they can get it ready before the summer heat.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We apologize that our conditions didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will use your review to help us improve moving forward. Thank you again and we hope to see you back soon!
Summer has come early to Del Lago
I have played this course in all seasons. I have played here for over 6 years. It has always been in better shape than now.. The reasons why would just use up space. It's a nice course in need of some water and some maintenance. It's very playable. But for the money, you could go to so many other places.
Sorry you feel that way. I can tell you that this course from a condition point of view is one to the best in Tucson. I play them all and Del Lago greens are some of the best now. Traps are a different issue but pretty much all traps these days are not very good. I think you should give it another try because the greens last Sunday were terrific.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
Fun, challenging
We really enjoyed our round and the food and drinks on the patio.
Terrific! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing del Lago Golf Club.
I could have paid the same money or less for better
I was in the Army only a few years ago. I was stationed in southern Arizona. I played Del Lago about every 10 days for roughly 5 years. For some reason Del Lago has decided to lower their standards while believing they are better than they are. It's only May; yet the fairways are 50 percent brown dry grass. There is no rough,, there is some sort of concrete like first cut, then there is dirt and rocks-the point? You hit the ball, it hits the brown grass-rolls over the concrete first cut, and into the desert. The greens are like playing on a miniature golf course. The course has a great layout. Some holes are average, others require situational awareness ( aim for the brown dead grass on the hills and use them to your advantage.) It's worth playing once for 58.00 dollars. You will know you have been robbed by the 4th hole, but you will like the challenge.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We apologize that you didn't fully enjoy your time with us and that our conditions didn't meet your expectations. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at del Lago Golf Club!

Wonderful 18 holes of golf
Staff could not have been more pleasant. Fairways and greens in great shape. Bunkers are scheduled for much needed renovation but starter let us know that from the start. Course is challenging but didn’t feel like it beat us up. Would highly recommend.

Shot Maker Challenge
Course was very well maintained except for the bunkers. For the latter most players either moved the ball for a reasonable placement, or dropped out of the bunker. Fairways were in great shape with very good lies. Greens were in great shape and rolled fast. Also the greens have many various breaks, which really need to be observed prior to putting. Also the course layout challenges each shot so that shot placement is critical. Very enjoyable round of golf.
