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.

San Pedro
Course is in good shape for heading into summer months. Greens were soft and holding shots. Staff was extremely friendly.
COURSE CONDITION
The fairways were in great shape , the greens need some work and the staff was very friendly and helpful .I would recommend this course .
excellant sameness
Play this course regularly. Always in decent to very good condition. Played as a twosome, in 3 hours. Courses is as good as it's ever been. They seem to be continually working and upgrading. A great desert/links style course, one of the best munis in southern Arizona.
very slow play
This is one of my favorite courses and the pace of play is usually very good. Don't know what the problems is lately, but rounds have been at least 5 hours with a virtually empty course.
always a good experience
Staff is always very friendly. Course is always in very good condition.
Course Conditions Highly Improved
This course has a great lay out and offers a multitude and variety of shots. Conditions have improved greatly since I played last, and I would recommend the course for all skill levels. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Greens were hard and firm, yet playable with lines and speeds consistent. Speed of play could have been better as threesome in front was slow following many errant shots plus "stops" for the cart lady and some beers & Bloody Mary's. They had a good time.
The 19th Hole had good service and food.
Great day
The course was in good shape for this time of the year. We did play with 2 members witch help a lot. The course got few dog legs and the infos provides give us a chance to stay in play. Greens were quite fast and undulated giving good challenge.
Goood course for the money
Course was in good shape.greens were true and fast best greens around a very nice layout it to many straight holes
minister
great day to play. Course was in very good shape. Greens were fast. fairways mowed nicely. My friend from Omaha was impressed. He was not used to desert golf, but really enjoyed his time
The sand traps were raked well.
Fun track
My wife and I enjoyed this little gem laid back friendly staff and a fun course to play!!
Back nine needs lots of work.
Front 9 very nice fairways in excellent condition. Back 9 really not very good. Fairways ok and greens had big spots and in many instances no real grass. Looked like fighting some form of blight. It was nice to see real sand in sand traps.
Nice Course but very uneven
The course is always fun to play but the conditions are very uneven.. Most areas were very hard and the greens have very little grass to them.. The greens ran true and weren't terrible except for green #18.. The ducks are taking it over and it needs repair badly.. Some sand traps were partially filled with water and other areas very soft but mostly the course was very hard and dry. Either the sprinkler system got away from them or they got a heavy rain NO one else in this area received..Don't get me wrong we enjoy the course most of the time but it needs more even consistent watering and a lot of TLC..
good value
This is a fun and challenging course. Good overall value. Greens and fairways are good overall.
Excellent Course Layout, but needs help....
I've always considered San Pedro to be an excellent course and layout, but it seems it always needs "attention" in various ways. This course could be one of the best in southern Arizona if the course conditions and facilities could be upgraded. Tee boxes and fairways were good. Bunkers were in need of work with many in bad shape (hard or holding water). Greens were OK with speed, however coot droppings were highly evident on some greens near lakes, ball marks went unnoticed by prior golfers, and shoe scuff marks were evident on many greens.
In any case this course is good to play occasionally as it can be very challenging if you don't know the course. Too bad the course can't acquire a quality owner with sufficient means to make needed improvements.
San Pedro
Staff in the Pro Shop was really helpful and accommodating. I booked 2 separate twosome Hot Deals through Golf Now, 1 at 11:24 and 1 at 12:04. We arrived quiet early in the chance we could somehow play together as a foursome. I explained our situation to the lovely lady who was working in the Pro Shop at the time and without a blink of an eye she agreed to not only my request to tee off as a foursome but even allowed us to tee off earlier than our first twosome. The course was in great shape, the greens were very fast and mostly true. I made some very long putts and a few 1 putts thrown in for good measure. Kudos to San Pedro for helping us out and although the course is an hour drive from Green Valley , it’s well worth the effort. The mountain scenery in the distance is a bonus.
Fast greens
Played this course twice while staying in Benson. First round the fast greens exploded my scorecard. Second round I had a better idea about how to play them. The rest of the course is fun and challenging to a high handicapper like me. Will play again when we’re back in AZ.
