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.

Bad experience

Course is decent but the club is going through an ownership change and the service is TERRIBLE. Wanted to get some food at the turn but many things unavailable and the female bartender was extremely RUDE! She took my credit card then threatened not to give it back to me. Then she said she was going to have me kicked off the course. I have NEVER, EVER had a course personnel ever say that to me. I will never go there again. Many other courses with good, courteous service. NOT WORTH THE TRIP!

we always love playing the course, and right now I understand the need for rain is what's holding it back from being in great condition. tee boxes and greens were as good as they could be.

Fun in the sun

Good course, lots of wildlife to enjoy if you’re looking while waiting, which wasnt that much this time around. Greens and tee boxes were ok, the fairways need some love. But I’ll go back. Fun to play.

Tough Course

I am by all definition a duffer and find this course very challenging to difficult. Many holes have a substantial carry off the tee to avoid this desert, water, of marsh plants. Even a couple of blind curves where there is water you can see on the side of the fairway. Very pretty course and was in good shape. With deserts bordering each hole and the mentioned hazards I donated numerous golf balls.

Favorite Course in Tucson

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

Disappointing

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.

It was a dry heat

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.

Great Layout In Iffy shape

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.

Worst in 10 years

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.

Not even worth the 60$

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$

One of the best places within 50 miles

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.

Del Lago Golf Course Tucson Az.

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.
