Not happy

My tee time was booked at 10AM. Got to the course and found they moved me to 950A, then while practice putting the starter came to me and said I have been moved to 1020A. Really, no notice. Play was so slow. Ask why and I was told it's a resort course so I should chill. Quit after 11 and went back to proshop to leave and saw 4 workers sitting in golf carts who did not get out to help or offer help. I left and 30yards away one yelled thanks for playing. My advice, DON'T PLAY.

Someway Disappointing

This course is normally a great course, but the day we played it was more like an ordinary municipal course with very mediocre greens. The fairways were in nice shape and the layout is a joy to play. When we checked in with the staff, who were very professional, gave us the bad news that we would be playing the same 9 twice because of ongoing work on the other course. They also told us the bar and grill were closed for “summer hours.”

I’m sure the course will be good again sometime in the future. But it was disappointing when we played.

Greens are getting worse

Only Rattler was available for play.

The greens were almost unputtable. I know they are intending to rebuild them, but the greens and fringes an unplayable patchwork of resodding, sand and bare spots.

The fairways and traps were in excellent shape.

There were very few players. Play was so sparse that the bar & grill was closed. The upside is that the pace of play was great.

Horrible Day.

This course is usually in great shape. I have never played it in these bad conditions. The greens are all chucked up, with all fringe under repair. Pace of play was terrible on the 2nd 9, Taking at least 3 hours to play that side. There is no warning on the site, and they are still charging $75 per player, totally not worth it.

Course review

Some holes are under construction still but will be worth it when done. GPS on cart was an issue on several holes. Kept locking us out saying we weren’t on the cart path even though we were on the cart path so that was kind of a pain. Course played well greens are very soft.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course overall and appreciate your understanding of the ongoing construction. We believe the improvements will be worth it once completed.

We apologize for the issues you experienced with the GPS on the cart. That sounds frustrating, especially when you're sticking to the cart path. We had a notification of Solar flares recently which impacted national GPS tracking, but we'll look into this to ensure it is resolved.

If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, feel free to share them with us! We hope to see you again soon.

Full price for bad greens/maintenance

Typically this course is in good shape. However I would avoid playing here for the foreseeable future. Every green in Coyote/Rattler was under construction near the fringe. Every bunker was empty. And multiple holes had a full crew of maintenance men working on it. Tractors, and large dump trucks included. So not only is it a difficult course, but you also have to avoid 18 foot high dump trucks and a crew of 10 people by the green. On top of that, they still want full summer rates to play. Only heads up they gave me was that #8 on Coyote was under construction and that we might have to skip it. Surprisingly that was the only hole not being worked on. Not coming back for a long time.

We're also reviewing our pricing during this period to ensure it reflects the current course conditions.

Summer conditions?

Fairways and tee boxes were in decent shape, the greens appeared to be “under repair” and had no grass where the fringe is supposed to be, just dirt. Challenging layout and great views of local fauna and Tucson.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad to hear that you found the fairways and tee boxes in good shape and enjoyed the views of Tucson.
