Greens were patchy and there were workers all over the course working on them. Traps could use more sand. Pace of play was pretty slow - we waited on every hole. Beautiful & challenging course.

Breath Taking and Target Golf.

Play here every time in Tucson. The layout is terrific and tight. With most desert courses if your off target every shrub and cactus has thorns. So place those shots accurately. The mountains and elevation lays out a picture perfect golf experience. You will remember your round

Greens not nice, bumpy and patchy. Slow pace of play on back. No marshalls. Layout interesting and challenging. No washrooms on course. Worth it if hot deal on Golfnow.
