About
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.

Muni course
Greens and fairways were rough. Good layout not too bad for a muni course
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, WishUdQuitBichn! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing San Pedro Golf Course!
Not even worth $10
Paid $20 each as Deal Time on Tee Off and can totally see why it was cheap. Tee boxes so hard it was often a struggle to get your tee in the ground. Fairways bad and basically the same color as the dormant rough. What happened to the rye overseed?? Fairways should be green. Greens so bad with many diseased sections. I hate to give up on this course, but it just gets worse each time. Close it down!

Cart path multiple pot holes, Greens more dead spots then grass. Bunkers more grass then sand, texture very hard.

Where is maintenance crew
Played this course a month ago. There has been zero improvement since playing . In fact it has gotten worse. Dodging pot holes in the.cart path was a challenge. We play this course because we winter here. We saw exactly four course maintenance people .during our round of play. None of whom were doing anything to improve the course.

Not just a good course but a great course if it is in good shape.
There is a guy who worked at the Saddlebrook Courses that kept those courses in awesome shape. He no longer works for them as of a few years ago. Look for him . He always did well at the Saddlebrook courses. from tees to greens. Seek him out. By the way Your course is one of the funnest to play. I sure hope that it will one day be better than ever. I miss playing there. Will do so very soon.

Greens
The course was in pretty rough shape - bad enough that our 4some decided to drop ball when in fairway but basically no grass.
The Greens for the most were ok - but a few looked like someone had driven over them and some bounced as bad as the cart paths.

Worth the ride
There will never be a PGA championship at this course. But! This is the perfect place to have a great day out. You will play a fun 18 holes without putting a hole in your wallet. The large parking lot is directly in front of the real grass driving range. At the far right is an area to work on your wedges. The clubhouse is a stones throw from the parkinglot as well.
I would say the two real challenges are some of the fairways are narrow: as in narrow with no mercy. The other is the wind. Let's say this. If you are here on a golf vacation, play here first. Before you blow a hundred dollars to be upset with your self, drive a few minutes down route 10 and have breakfast in Benson. Play 18 at San Pedro and then head down to Bisbee by way of Tombstone. Eat in the very interesting town of Bisbee. Then head back up 10 for the rest of your vacation. Trust me,, it's worth it
Who let this course go to ####
This WAS an absolute favorite course, when I’m in SE of Az I make it point to play this course. I haven’t been here for maybe 2 years now and OMG! This course was so beautiful and Lush w/all the natural surrounding and peaceful serenity. 1st of all what happened to the Bunkers?! It looks like they removed the bunkers and let them grow out but it’s just an ugly pit of dirt and weeds. 2nd the fairways were soaking wet and muddy, there’s. I grass to water so dirt just turns to mud and this goes all the way to the green. Hole #2 was absolutely disgusting I would’ve quit then but I thought to myself it has to get better...WRONG! Tee boxes are trash, the only thing that looked good on the tee box were the colored markers.
I paid $20 and you bet I got what I paid for, so save your money and time. I have a feeling they are letting the course go to build homes I didn’t see any maintenance guys on the course, every course I play there's always guys around working the grounds. Such a shame 2020 has really been a tough year.

Muddy course.
Will not play again. Course very muddy, tees and greens in bad shape. Cart paths were full of pot holes, water and muddy. Fairways ok where not muddy and rutted., need toi clean ball of mud after every shot. Course needs a lot of work. Carts needed cleaning, could not see out front windshield.

San pedro

u314160267137, 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 San Pedro Golf Course.
Still improving...better than summer 2020
We played this course in July and it was not worth the drive. With hope of seasonal improvements, we tried it again. All tee times on Golf Now are Hot Deal Tee time. Their doing their best to get traffic and play. The course is a nice layout, and has a history of being a great track, yet it has experienced a few maintenance issues where a few greens a hurting, a few fairways got bald in spots, and the bunkers appear to be growing into moguls without sand. They are fortunate to have the San Pedro River water in order to combat the drought that other courses in Southern AZ are fighting. I will drive from Tucson again in late spring 2021 to see if it gets better after 'Winter Monsoons'.

Bad shape
The course is in really bad shape.
Most of the golf carts don't work leaving none ready when I got there. The cart I got had a tire go flat on the first hole. Took it back but there was no cart to replace it. They aired it up but it went flat again by 5th hole. They did bring me another by 6th hole.

Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks for choosing San Pedro Golf Course.
Is It Closing Soon?
I've usually enjoyed playing San Pedro. It's moderately challenging and interesting. The course conditions this time, however, were appalling. The fairways were bare in some places, the greens were scrappy, and every bunker seemed abandoned, without sand and grass growing in many. The course overall was soggy. Course conditions have steadily gone downhill since the city of Benson took over. Given the current conditions, we were left wondering if Benson plans on abandoning the course entirely in the near future, which would be a shame.
