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.

This course could be worked on

The course was kept in fair condition but some holes were in very poor condition and there were places with mud and deep grass that were not blocked off or signs to be kept off which was not very satisfying to experience because it was very dirty and smelled very badly. would maybe go again but wouldn’t be my first choice

This course is poorly maintained

Course suffers from lack of regular maintenance. Traps are terrible, fairways were uncut and very muddy., greens had bare spots and are being taken over by foreign grasses not meant for greens. Tee boxes were uncut and bare in many places.

Don’t waste money

Course was once a beautiful course extremely well maintained. Last played here probably 7 years ago but has definitely gone down hill. Overgrown grass and weeds everywhere and had hard time trying to find ball barely off fairway. Hopefully it will remain open and condition will improve but looks we may be losing another golf course in region. Ashamed!

Good course. Need more work

the price was good. Course is in decent shape, but still needs some work. However, the sand traps had no sand. The greens were ok as they had been sanded, but some had some areas that need some major attention. Pace of play was good even though there was a tournament going on.

The course has many terrain changes. The fairways were in good condition but some bunkers were in terrible condition, covered with weeds.

Good Value!

Throughout the winter months San Pedro had the best price/value. We like the course and the laid back-ness environment. The course conditions have been great & all the staff are friendly & helpful! It’s really not far from Tucson & makes for a great day get away!

Love Benson!

Great track just east of Tucson. We play here about once a month outside of winter.

Pros:

Great staff - love them!

Great layout (desert links)

Clean restrooms

Water Stations!

Cleaned up overgrowth around water hazards & other locations throughout course.

Cons:

Greens were not what we are used to at this course - pretty beat up.

Bunkers need SANDDDDDD!!!

Slow Play (5.5 hrs is a bit much - near perfect weather offset the long day)

It’s winter so we get that there dormant grass - so should you if you go (provides great roll out!).

This was a great escape from the covid19 virus!

COURSE CONTINUES TO NEED HELP

Very cold and windy, which challenged every shot. Fairways and greens were in good shape, but bunkers are terrible. They are mostly hard pan and rocks, so avoid them at all costs. Course layout is very good, but some added maintenance could make this and outstanding venue. But being city owned, I doubt funds will be made available. Otherwise when playing, have patience.
