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.

Fun layout, nice conditions.

Course in nice condition, especially the greens, which were receptive but also rolled nicely. Pin placements seemed a little too much on slopes and ridges. Always a fun layout to play.

Awesome

Always a treat to tee it up at a course where every hole is different with changes in elevation and direction required. No hole is easy and every one requires thinking as to pin accessibility. Good luck and enjoy the day but remember that the most important rule i golf is to keep up with the group in front of you.

Cheers

Playing blind

Several holes on the course require knowledge of the layout, or what you believe to be a good shot ends up in hidden water.

Must have been a skins game in front of us as pace of play was horrible. Waited on every box. Time of the round was approximately 5 hours.

What a treat on a beautiful day for golf. Couldn't be upset in spite of not bringing my A game. It was not the course's fault. Loved every moment out there. Every hole is unique and a challenging pleasure. What a great day!

5some ruins timely golf round

My wife & I enjoy playing this course but unfortunately we won't be back anytime soon if ever.

We travel from Green Valley to play here 40-45 minute drive. first 8 holes were fine pace of play then we started having to wait on every shot. from 9th hole on. At 11 we went to jump ahead a couple holes,. We stopped to talk with the group in front of us to find out the 5some they caught up to at 7 & the group in front of them all seemed to know each other and were playing skins game (slowly) and not caring about groups behind them. We never saw a marshal one time on our round. I don't think that was by accident. Tuesday saw the marshal 5 to 7 times during 18 holes. To top it off after our round I went inside to use the restroom. 5 men were standing in the middle of the foyer, only 1 and myself were wearing a mask (I don't like wearing a mask either but it's something that needs to be done for now). I realizing that the course will never be top tier because of pore management and that's a shame because it's a nice golf course.

We have choices all around Tucson area play and to make that drive for slow play will not happen again.

del Lago is gorgeous again!

It's been years since I last played this course and, quite honestly, it wasn't in good condition then at all. Which is why we stopped playing here. Fast forward three or four years to yesterday...it was gorgeous! The new grounds crew has done a fabulous job returning this course to near perfection. The greens were incredible. They held shots easily and rolled true and smooth. No bumps, no hops. It was such a pleasure to putt greens like this!!! We were all amazed at how nice this course is again, which is really good because it's such a great track. Lots of fun!

Del Lago g.c.

It's a bit of drive east on I-10 from Tucson but so worth taking the time to play go play it.

The staff on the course was very friendly.

My wife & i both enjoyed this golf course.

Great selection in tee boxes to choose from, forced carries off some of the the tees, fairways in good condition & great fast greens.

the only area that really that needs addressing is the sand traps.

Good amount of pebbles and need for more sand. Some were left completely abandoned (very unappealing). Turn them into grass bunkers instead of leaving them as a big eye sore on the course.

We will definitely be playing this course multiple times in the future. If the sand traps get some serious attention instead of just left abandoned this course could be a solid top ten in the Tucson area.

I would never claim to be a great golfer but I do know a good course when I see/play one. This course is close to becoming a great one.

Very nice course with greens a little on the faster side. It took time to get used to them but still fair. The course was well layed out and very scenic. Be sure to pick the correct tee blocks for your skill level. The Tee Off price was amazing for the Quality of this course.
