Preserve Golf Course

Course in good shape. Fun course fun to play.

With Golf Now, I was able to play it at a good price.

Purchased round as a single. Was part of a foursome. The other 3 gentlemen were fun to play with. Don't lose your swing on this course. One gentleman shot a 35 for the first 9. He had a 42 on second 9.

Only negative was starting out on the back 9 holes. I prefer to start out on the front 9.

You have to play all 18 at some point! What if the 9's were flipped? Then you would have started on #1.

Nice course

Practice facilities are good, nice staff, pace of play was fine. This is not and easy course with the wind as it is played in a canyon. Be prepared to lose a ball or two. Have played here twice and the restaurant has not been open. Bring what you need for yourself on the course.

Great Course... NO services!!!

This course has NO outside services to speak of.

No on course beverage services, No caddie services, No restaurant services, to my knowledge.

There was a starter but little introduction to the course which has a number of blind shots. The course is nice with big greens and I'd recommend you play it but don't expect the outside services that come with the greens fee.

Worth the Drive

This may be a ways outside of Tucson but we were joined by a couple from Casa Grande. The Mountainous views, flowing play and smooth greens make this course enjoyable to play as holes alternate from forgiving to challenging and back.

In the hills

This one of the best in the area. Great layout, very good condition, well maintained. The pace of play was a little slow but we were in no rush.

I highly recommend that if you have not played it it is a must play

Gorgeous views, decent course

This course is worth playing. It has beautiful views and is a decent challenge. There was some Poana on the greens but they rolled true. Note: the yardages to the ravines don’t take into account that the last 50-70yards is all downhill! We would definitely enjoy this course more the second time now that we have a little local knowledge.

Pace of play was awful until the Marshall broke up a slow playing group finally on the backside, and we ultimately played in 4:30

The snack area is closed on Mondays and the course doesn’t have a liquor license! We were told that the license has been applied for?

Tough course, no food or beverages

A really tough course, especially for a weekend golfer. Pace of play was very slow despite the rangers. Quite disappointed that there wasn't a convenient place to pick up some food or beverages for the back nine.

Loved this course! Great value and great layout. The only drawback was the pace of play, approximately 5 hrs for a midweek round. I will definitely be back again!

Play early

We love this course but we played at 1:00 PM and finally quit after 9 holes due to the pace of play. The course was terribly backed up with old men (like 80 plus) looking endlessly for their golf balls in the washes and desert. They couldn't care less that we were waiting behind them to hit each shot.

Only negative comment was the marshal. We were on pace so there was no issue with our group, but he wasted our time asking us questions and holding us up, it happened again on the back nine. Please instruct this person to leave groups alone that are not doing anything wrong, thus holding them up and effecting pace of play.

Everybody else was great.
