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 7313 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.

Too much water on fairways & # 18 SLOW PLAY
Muddy too much water on fairways
Play is slowest ever
One group of 3 seniors should take up mini golf
Held up all the players after 9:00
Must have been at least 3 holes behind
Like the Hitchcock movie the birds they are here
Great course that everyone should play
Just needs Rowdy Yates to move them round round in 4 hours
Great day on the course
No more cart path only
Fill in those divots
Fun place to play
Good burger & beer
No problem can’t wait to play again
Open too soon
Long and wet fairways
Cart path only…. You know until you get there So call
Slow play MWF
Still my favorite with dog pound sewer pond freeway and billboards
Fun place good restaurant
Never on MWF
Men’s group play on MWF
So slow going
Group I was following 3 holes behind
Still cart path
They opened too soon
Fairways wet & long
Oh well
Still my favorite
And the a 65 mile round trip
Go figure
Why open so soon?
The fairways haven’t even been mowed
on the front 9
They don’t tell you it’s cart only on the web site
MWF scramble is SLOW
some guy goes 3 holes back looking for a putter cover while his group waits on tee box
And it’s still my favorite with freeway billboards sewer pond and dog pound
I’m sick
Too early to open
Why open when you can’t even mow it
Why not post on your web site cart path only
Why not lower price when you have no grass
Why does a player who has to play two balls on every shot (including putts) not ask the golfer waiting behind him to play through
Love the course but they need help
City course may be the problem
Greed is ugly
Lower your green fee when you no grass
Course Conditons Need Help
The tee boxes and fairways were in poor condition. Greens were in good condition and rolling well. Bunkers continue to be terrible with "transition" to grass but were actually hard pan with weeds. Wish they would return to actual sand bunkers. Course maintenance was soon to begin and hopefully improvement will be noted.
GV golf slow
Green Valley golfers are S L O W
Never think of letting someone play though even when 3 or 4 holes behind
Guess that’s the GV grin
Benson Golf Course
I've been here last winter and spring, the course was attempting to get the fairways and greens in shape. Greens are much better. Fairways and tee boxes are like i'm playing on a dirt course. Unexceptional Come on guys--I love your course. Please reseed do something.
Water please
Some of the tee boxes and fairways need more water, bare in too many spots. Greens were good. Service is good. As is the restaurant.
Lousy
My wife and I have played San Pedro many times. Today the course was in the worst shape ever. Many of the fairways were mainly dirt. The course has been more expensive this year than before. We've been able to play the course for $15-19 before during the summer. Because it's been more expensive this year we expected a better course, not so. We like the course layout but won't be going back. How sad to let a course get in such bad shape. Makes us wonder if it's going under.
Even some of tee boxes were just dirt.
Poor condition - dirt tee boxes and dirt fairways!
Sad to see the course in its current condition. Seemed like the course was improving and then the last few months the tee boxes have hardly no grass and the fairways are dying. It is in very poor condition. Greens are still in good condition though. Staff is normally friendly but if you come in late in the day you can tell they get upset. The hours are terrible and have no twilight hours to use the driving range or course after work during the week. Prices are too expensive. Per the condition of the course I would expect to pay 20 or less. Very sad to see a cool course be in such bad shape.
Overpriced for how the course looked
Tee boxes and fairways are terrible and for almost 40 bucks a round it is way over priced for what it currently is. Sad it is not being kept up at all.
As bad as tee off
Tee Off is a rip off
San Pedro is in need of grass
Can’t believe I drove 70 miles to play here
2 good courses in my town
I’m a knucklehead
Bad shape!
Much better shape than previously. Unfortunately fairways and tee boxes look terrible. Greens were good but a lot of crab grass growing in them so bumpy. Paid $28 and would not go back for that price. At normal $39 no way. Sad as the course layout is really neat.
