Challenging round of golf

Great condition course , smooth fast greens, fairways well watered. Mesmerizing views from every hole. Had the course to myself it seemed. Really well stocked pro shop, super friendly staff. Restaurant not open Monday and Tuesdays so I did not get to eat as planned. No substantial or healthy choices on snack cart either. I will certainly return to golf this course again.

One of the best in Tucson

we played at around 2 pm and it was not that busy. . Probably due to the heat! We hit some balls and practiced some putts.There was a friendly starter and a couple of fun cart girls. The course was beautiful and in great shape. The fairways, tee boxes and green were all in great shape. There was lots of elevation changes, carries and plenty of trouble on the narrow fairways. Lots of wildlife-coyotes, Javelina, deer, lots of different birds..... The course offered challenges for HC 7 and 20.

Loved It!

One of the greens on the Roadrunner course was a little rough, but the rest of the entire course was in great shape. Had a great time.

Hard but fun

Course is in good shape. Lots of targeted golf! You have to hit it straight or you’ll lose the ball to the desert!

Tough but beautiful

I played the Rattler/Roadrunner nines Memorial Day Weekend. I played Men’s Hybrid tees which was a mixture of gold, black and silver tees. Slope was about 135. The course was tough but fair. Several forced carries, beautiful valley and Mountain View’s, and a really nice layout. Greens were a good speed but not too fast. Service was great as well. Will definitely play again.
