Scenic golf

Thoroughly enjoyed playing the Preserve. Course layout was intriguing , the views were fantastic. Greens were smooth and firm. Miss the fairway and the course will penalize you. I'll be back!

Beautiful Course

This is a very beautiful golf course. The layout is excellent. Challenging but fair.

Every hole has a great view. If you do not like this golf course you need to find something else to do.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Will definitely be coming back.

Thanks

Always a pleasure to play

Course is always in good condition. This round was no acception. Highly recommended. Staff could be a little friendlier. I always feel like they are just there to take your money and get you out of the pro shop. Greens were a little slow but rolled great. Go play this course!

Awesome vistas. Very good layout, challenging but not punishing. Firm conditions, slow greens this time of year.

Lots of blind tee shots

This is one of the poorest layouts I've ever seen. 5 Blind tee shots, several blind second shots and several arroyos crossing the fairways a couple of which you can't even SEE from the tee box or second shot. The only 5 star rating it gets is the value for the money. I'd bet VERY few people play this course twice. So they have to lower the price to get first timers to try it. I feel sorry for the people who live up here and are stuck with such a ridiculous golf course.

too many blind shots for my liking

Course has nice views and good facilities but there are just too many blind shots. It looks like the course was just plopped down on the mountain foothills and that was it.

The mountain views are spectacular.

Beautiful course ! Somewhat challenging. Typical mountain course with uphill, sidehill lies. Too many holes in which carts are not allowed. Staff could be friendlier. Bring your own beverages and snacks. None provided to purchase.

Still one of our favorite courses in Tucson !

Awesome Layout, slow greens

First time playing the Preserve. The layout and views of the course are awesome. The elevation changes are breath taking. Lots of shots require accurate ball direction. Plan on spending time looking for wayward shots. Only criticism is the greens were very slow, hard to get a feel when used to playing much faster greens. I booked thru GolfNow, and, as usual, got an very attactive rate. Definitely will be returning.

Play this course

Fantastic views, well manicured greens, bunkers and fairways. Challenging layout, you need a GPS with satellite or local knowledge to get layup distances. Bar was closed when we finished the round at 2:30pm on a Monday in May.

Could be a gem...

Weather was perfect and we w ere excited to play for the first time. We quit after 7 holes at the 2 hr 40 minute mark. Would have been a 6+ hour round. Seems like the foursomes around us were "out for the day" and did not know how to play ready-golf, socialized on the greens, etc. We liked the course and the variety of the seven holes we played. Probably a course for the locals who live in the development. Disappointed.
