San Pedro Golf Course

San Pedro is in fine shape. The place is a hidden gem.. I played for 15.00 dollars. The fairways are cut to just the right height--and there is grass! The greens are a little quick--but that is part of the game--the greens are in great shape.. The pace of play is perfect.

The area is about 10 degrees cooler than Tucson.

Notwithstanding the 25-30+ mph winds, the course offers some very challenging holes. The tee boxes and fairways were in good condition, but if you are off the fairways we found a lot of tough rough. Most of which was muddy areas, patchy areas of some grass but with plenty of hard pan and rocks. The bunkers were suspect with many having mud and hard pan and/or patches of actual sand. The greens were running fairly quick, yet showed areas needing attention to augment grass in lieu of bare spotty areas which yielded bumpy putts. The putting lines were difficult to read. In essence the green fees seemed a bit high for the condition of the course. The course layout could be one of the best in southern Arizona if only the course could get the attention it needs.

The restaurant continues to serve very good post round food and refreshments.

Well designed layout - except that #9 doesn't bring you back to the clubhouse.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Greens quite fast and in very good shape.

I just read the most recent reviews... As the deceased Joan Rivers would have said---oh please--grow up. No one seemed to mention that southern Arizona had just received a real snow storm and freezing cold for over a week. The guy in the pro shop? yes--the whole staff is a bit """dry"" I am not visiting from some other state...I play about 4 days a week all year long. There is not a golf course in southern Arizona that I have not played. The people in the pro shop are always bland. No one ever says hello--you are lucky if they look at you. They always just take your money and give you the keys to a cart.
But--now for why I hope you are reading this--the golf course--- it's fine--keep in mind--it is winter--you know --the season when grass dies??? The fairways are now narrow but fine...The greens are being prepared for the spring...The are very playable ( slow ) but fine. They are rolled out--they are slow--but they will be in great shape by March. You can go right now to many places in Tucson right now--and pay over 100 dollars for a round of golf and find the same conditions....well not the """same conditions"" each hole will have a 10 minute wait....and your burger and beer will cost you 30 dollars instead of 10....BUT--- i am sure the guy at the pro shop will smile and make small talk--- I know for 150 dollars I would. Play San Pedro it's worth the trip. While you are down this way-- stay over night in Bisbee and play TURQUOISE VALLEY The oldest course in Arizona and it has a par 6.... On the way home hit Del Lago... a course worth the money and great average food. AVOID KINO SPRINGS

Despite some negative reviews herein, our foursome from Tucson decided to take things with a grain of salt, and try the course again after not playing it for quite some years. We were sorely ashamed of ourselves for ignoring the clear warnings from others. We are the type of guys that will forgive a lot of things, leave substantial tips, and do what we can to ensure everyone around us is having a great time. Sadly enough, we were not able to do any of these things at San Pedro. The course was in decent shape, and although the condition of the greens were overhyped, it was the incredibly unprofessional, poor attitude of the Pro Shop worker that made the entire outing distasteful. We presented coupons for a free lunch after we paid for the round, only to be told they were no good because we booked on Golf Now. Would have been nice to have such a disclaimer before traveling 45 minutes for the "deal". Nonetheless, we were cordial about it, only to be given SEVERE attitude about it at the pro shop. We were simply dismayed at the treatment we endured, and decided never to return. We will be sure to let our copious golfer pals know to steer clear of this "hack" of an organization. Suggestion? Fire the Pro Shop guy (he worked this past Saturday @ 10:00 AM).

I was reading some of the past reviews and would like to advise you that the negative reviews from reviewer "u0000811562" are unfounded. This course is continuing to get better and better. The overseeding throughout the course is thick and plush. The grounds crew are working hard throughout the course. A few of the items include placing asphalt millings on the paths, mowing weeds, working on a sand trap that will be another highlight of the course and generally maintaining this jewel in the desert. The staff are very professional and "home town" friendly. I have never had a negative experience here and found that, if anything is needed from the restaurant, pro shop or course, all one needs to do is ask. I love this place!

This is a great find! We have played the course a few times and the conditions continue to improve. Very relaxing course.

Love the course, greens were a little rough this round.

THIS COURSE IS ONE OF THE BEST KEPT SECRETS IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. The course is in fine shape. The skill level is just enough for everyone to have a challenging good day. It has a club house with very good ---fair priced food. The whole place is very clean and relaxed. It's easy to get to--about 600 yards off interstate 10. I have played nearly every course in the Tuscon area. This is not the best course in southern Arizona--but dollar for dollar--you will not be disappointed.

The course was in the best shape we have seen it for quite some time. Issues like potholes in the cart path have been addressed. The sand traps still some work as they are a little hard and not much sand. That being said they are better than Arizona National's bunkers. The only really bad thing was the weather. Very, very windy but of course, this is not the San Pedro's fault. Good experience overall.

If you believed the past reviews , you probably would skip this course. Don't believe them. ( although I couldn't find a recent one ; it was a leap of faith in giving it a shot ) Glad I did. The course is almost completely back from over seeding. The fairways were a little long...but very playable. The greens were a bit sandy, but quick and receptive. ( yay! been playing slow and shaggy courses for ever, it seems. ) There were a few mushy areas in the fairways....and the cart paths could use some help....but I'm just being picky.
If Benson would advertise San Pedro to the Vail and Tucson markets , I'm sure they would get some loyal customers.

All in all , a great layout with flats to elevation changes....risk and reward holes....and a laid back atmosphere that I have only found out in Rio Rico. ( but that is a whole different discussion. )

We'll see wether San Pedro can keep prices down in order to compete with the Tucson markets. So far , so good.

This course is going down. Maintenance is lacking. Greens have invasive grasses growing in. Fairways and tee boxes are overgrown.......cups not recently cut. Greens very slow........need to be mowed. Interesting layout. No beverage cart........Driving range closed.

Love the course and a great staff. 10 am tee time, but they let us go around 9:30. 3 1/2 hours for 18 holes. Light traffic on the course. Let a single play through. A two some behind us but they only had to wait on us one hole. Cart girl only made one round, but her customer service was OUTSTANDING! Fairways good, greens were pretty true and maintained. Bunkers needed attention. Tee boxes much better than I can remember and the green on #5 was repaired since my last round here in March. I'll be back.

This is a good course to play most holes are open well maintained but hated to see the on board gps missing from the carts

Pretty easy course to play from White. Copper is the next back t much hard . But I got so quick the restraunt was not open. so, do not go to early if you have lunch included.

A tough course for me. But, the course is good, as was the company, and I had a lot of fun.

Great deal while visiting a friend's winery in Willcox, would recommend to anyone in the area. Cool canyon holes, challenging yet comfortable as you can add 20+ yards to every club from the elevation coming from sea level.

The course was in good condition and was maintained in good fashion. Greens were average speed with many having undulations needing your attention. Fairways were in decent shape, but be careful of areas of patchy grass along edges. The course layout is one of the best in Cochise County, and it would be nice if the city could add certain cosmetic improvements. Only negative is the cart paths which leaves your bag and gear covered iin dust at rounds end.

Nice golf course. First time playing this course. The pace of play was pathetic concerning how slow it was. We called the pro shop to see if play could be sped up and nothing was done about it.

fast greens, great variety of tee boxes, wonderful scenery made for a fun round for both my wife & I
