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 course except cart path only

I drive 30 miles to play this course and have always fully enjoyed all about it. The course did not have communication with Teej-Off (per Tee-Off) regarding cart path only. While I finished my round, it was difficult do to all the walking required.. I will play course again but will always check with course regarding cart restrictions.

A Great Layout

The course is getting ready to shut down for aeration and over seeding, and some preliminary work was noticeable. Tee boxes were rough, but OK. Fairways were in good condition and maintaining good lies. Greens were a little slow with some work needed. Bunkers were not in good shape with a lot of mud pan lies and plenty of small rocks evident. Overall the course layout is one of the best around making shot making a priority in order to score. This is a great golf course and well worth playing. ,

Getting Ready for Overseed

Pace was excellent as we only saw one other person golfing......most likely because their rates are too high for this area, for this course and in this heat. Rates have been high all summer.....i really don't think they want players who will rack up their rental cart count. They're already drying out and shaving the fairways in preparation for overseed. Greens and tees were decent and fairways still had grass, though brown and low.

Greens

Greens were in absolute terrible condition and $41 in the middle of the summer with 100 degree weather is way overpriced.

Disappointing Course Conditions

This course is our "go to" summer course, but not this summer. Course conditions are very poor. Many greens are damaged with bare spots and you can tell a mower leaked fluid and damaged greens. Fairways have many areas of basically just dirt. Don't know what happened here, but the courses in Green Valley are in MUCH better condition.

Helpfull

Our reservations thru GolfNow were never communicated to the course. As such rather than turn us away they were able to squeeze us in at the twilight price. I shall talk to GolfNow about a refund.

This course will make you a better golfer

The course is continuing to improve and their Superintendent is doing a great job. The owners have spent money to improve the greens, fairways, etc. and have turned their attention to the bunkers.

It is a tough layout and it requires you to play well and concentrate on each shot. There are only a couple of forced carries from the tee boxes but the most forward tees don't have any issues.

It's not a course for those just learning how to play unless you join in a scramble tournament where others can assist you. The usual weekly golfer will have no problems with the carry issue.

Tough course greens fast

This course continues to improve and get better as spring approaches. The greens were running at around 11 and very quick. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming out and wanting to play a great golf course designed by Pat Nguyent design who design Kemper Lakes in Chicago. The price Is great for this time of year. Well worth it and you will not be disappointed.

good layout,not is the greatest of shape

the layout for this course is very good,green are fairly slick and kinda hard to read,but the course has really gone down in terms of the condition it is in and it has been overseeded,has a great layout but it is sufffering from a lack of money being spent to maintain it,most bunkers/sand traps do not have sand in them and the"waste areas" are in horrible shape if a little bit of money was spent here this could really be a gem in the desert,the staff in the pro shop is very nice and the starter is also very nice and very friendly
