San Pedro Golf Course is an 18 - hole championship facility located on the banks of the San Pedro River. The golf course winds through the mesquite and along the banks of the San Pedro on the front nine. The back nine travels through four canyon like settings and finishes up with the 457-yard par four split fairway eighteenth hole. The golf course stretches out to 7187 yards from the tips and there are five sets of tees to accommodate golfers of all skill levels.

The surrounding vistas at San Pedro are unmatched by any other golf club in Southeastern Arizona. From various points on the course, the San Pedro River Basin can be seen and this Mark Rathert design stretches along those river banks to the natural canyon like settings with the Dragoon mountain range in the background. The elevation changes and cool crisp air provide a setting that will bring you back for the challenge.

The bentgrass greens will provide slick playing surfaces with some undulations to test your stroke. The key to play on hole # 2 - is to stay clear from the left side, as the San Pedro comes into play early in your round. Your second shot to this 457-yard par four will test your long iron game! The fifth creates a great approach to the green on this par five. The par four sixth requires precision off the tee, as there are two bunkers along the right side with a narrow approach to the green. The seventh is a cute par three that is followed up with a par four and the 558 yard par five ninth that requires two well placed shots as the right hand side is guarded by a pond as you approach the green. The left side approach is definitely your safety valve.

The back nine opens up with a straight away 400 yard par four followed by a 197 par three with a very tricky undulated green that slopes from left to right. Walk away with a three here and be happy. Holes 12 - 16 will offer you both scenery & challenges coupled with a great test of golf. The twelfth is as good a par four that exists. The tee shot leads you into a narrow area that favors the left side, as this is a slight dogleg right. The second shot will let you know if you can thread the needle as the approach is a gem. Once on this bowl shaped green area you will look back and see the beauty that Mark Rathert carved here. The ride to the thirteenth tee brings you to the highest elevation on the course, where the San Pedro River Valley surrounds you - encased by three mountain ranges including Cochises' Stronghold - where that once heralded Indian and his tribe staked their claim. The 605 yard thirteenth will require position to the right center on both your drive and second shot, as you approach to this green. The fourteenth resembles hole # 12 but is a tad longer. The fifteenth hole is a scenic par three with a drop of 50 feet from teeing area to green. The sixteenth and seventeenth give you a slight breather as you approach the finest finishing hole in Southeastern Arizona - the par four split fairway 457 yard eighteenth hole. Water comes into play off the tee as well as on the second shot to this green that is also guarded by a bunker as you approach the apron.

San Pedro is tough but fair with exceptional playing surfaces and a range of tees (5) that will test golfers of all levels. You won't tire at San Pedro - enjoy the scenery and the natural desert like playing conditions that will soon be heralded throughout the area.

A good place to work on your game

This course has fallen victim to COVID. They lost a great deal of their workers. Let's start with the positives; It was 20 dollars. The greens are great. Ok-the rest of the story- the tee-boxes are playable. The traps not only don't have sand, they have things growing from them. The fairways are good enough,( imagine if the fairway was cut like the first cut of a really really great course) The pace of play was good and the layout is a little bit of a challenge. At the far end of the driving range is a special place to work on your wedges. You can park right behind the driving range. Benson AZ has a few good places to eat, and the course has a place to eat as well. Go to San Pedro to relax and improve your game

The course has considerable potential but needs work and there are signs that an effort is being made. Greens are improving. Cart path improvements done. Fairways fair. Still no sand in sand traps . Not too many people on the course which I like because I can play fast. Haven't used the restaurant and bar due to covid.

ROUGH SHAPE

FOUR OF THE GREENS ARE IN TOUGH SHAPE

FAIRWAYS HAVE LOTS OF BALD SPOTS

SAND TRAPS ARE HARD AND WEEDY

WEDNESDAYS ARE GOOD DAYS TO PLAY. LESS TRAFFIC.

I KNOW THEY ARE HURTING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET THE HELP FROM THE PRISON CREW. HOPE THAT RESOLVES ITSELF SOON.

Fun course, challenging layout

Most fairways are good, tee boxes and a few greens are in need of better maintenance. Work. Carts are old & jerky, but still working. I like the course, just hoping for improvements in course care & maintenance.

Still not enough maintenance being dome

Last year we golfed twice a week from December thru March, this year we golfed Five times total from November 15th toApril 15th. I will. Be hoping for more improvement next year To those in charge of maintenance I would recommend looking into Zoysia grass it requires less water It would be worth trying.you can buy seed or plugs that fill in quickly.

Do NOT waste your money on this course. The Fairwys are TERRIBLE, the greens are WORSE. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS COURSE EXCEPT THE RESTAURANT. We have played this course many times in the past and have never played a course in this bad of shape & condition. They should be ashamed to charge for this & be more ashamed go call this a golf course!

Never again

You have your options of dirt mud or crab grass. I understand why it was 30$ after tax to play during the season.This by far is the worst course I’ve ever played greens were terrible with 90% of them having actual dirt and tire marks. The only thing that made this course playable was the hour drive to the course.

Terrible course conditions.

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY.

We played this course a number of times about 1 year ago and it was fine, not great but not bad. Now, the course should be closed. It is absolutely terrible. We will not be going back until major changes have been made, if they ever do make changes, I can not say enough about how terrible the greens are, the fairways are dirt, it is just absolutely terrible. The restaurant still had good food & drink with a friendly staff.

It's a shame.

Most of the greens were awful! The sand traps are filled with patchy grass and gopher holes and rocks! The tee boxes that had grass looked like they haven't been mowed in a week, and it was hard to find a flat spot to tee off. Fairways were very patchy with a lot of dead grass. I won't be going back, even if its free! I feel like we got robbed!

They have lost the greens

This course has a ton of potential but unfortunately they have lost most of the greens. and tee boxes. Gopher mounds and holes in tee boxes, large swaths of grass dead or missing on the greens. Probably the worst greens condition I have ever played . Only played 35 dollars to play this which would be the top end I would pay due to the condition. The lay out is full of potential.
