Great views of the Catalina's

It was a great day like always golfing. There isn't really a snack bar or many drinking water spots.

unaccommodating

What a great track, great shape,true greens good sand, great risk reward. You will love to play this course if you don't mind being treated like a second class citizen for not being part of the golf community where this course is located. I have played here at least six times and with each trip I ask myself why. When arriving the signage is poor and you will find yourself wondering around trying to figure out were to leave your clubs, go to the pro shop, find the cart pick up clubs then get on your way. Oh and bye the way they are not very friendly if you are a Golf Now player! We are a on and off season golf area and I think they should be a little more accommodating to the guest playing in the off season helping them pay the bills. DONT FORGET WATER!! No one tells you water is only at two stops on the course and if your not a camel you best have a cup. When your done with your round find a place for a cold one somewhere, club house closes early. Love the track!!! not the people.

Pace of Play WARNING

This is a very difficult course with narrow landing areas, lots of hazards and bunkers, extreme elevation changes and very undulating greens. Be prepared for your group to take longer to play this course than other easier level courses in Tucson. I'm a fast player and usually finish in far less than 4 hours, but as you can see from the other course reviews, it is not uncommon for people to experience rounds of 5+ hours here, not because they are slow players, but because of all the challenges, hazards, and greater potential for lost balls. Depending on how crowded the course is, you can expect to add 30 minutes or more to your average round here, and maybe even an hour or more on very busy days.

Great scenery; very tough course

Unlike most of the golf courses in and around Tucson, this course has lots of severe elevation changes on nearly every hole. Expect many severe uphill, downhill and sidehill lies if you play here. It is not uncommon to have to take 2 extra clubs to ascend a steep uphill climb to an elevated green or to get an extra 50 yard roll on a severe downhill drive. Greens were in excellent condition and undulations provided lots of challenging reads. Sand bunkers are plentiful and in just the "perfect spots" so be sure to bring your best sand game. With proximity so close to the Santa Catalina mountains, the scenic views on most holes are picture perfect, but don't take your eye off the ball or you may end up chasing your ball into habitat frequented by javalina, mountain lion, bobcat, deer, and rattlesnakes!

incredible views

1 of the nicest courses in Tucson, for the $.
It has become my favorite course to play in the Tucson area. My out of town guests marvel at the scenery and get to experience a desert style course at a very reasonable price. This course represents what high quality golf in Arizona is all about.
For golfers unfamiliar with this course, playing it for the first time, beware of some hidden dangers!! I learned after 4 rounds to take some notes.

Good value

2:07 tee time. The front moved along really well, but the back was much slower. My only complaint is that the grass is cut so short that the ball easily runs off the fairway and into desert or washes. The greens and fairways, however, were top notch. With the afternoon pricing it is an excellent value.

You Can Beat the Value

This was our best golf experience while in Tucson. We got to play in a majestic setting at a course where back home we would pay at least $150.00 for $18.00 .... yes, $18.00. We were also hooked up with two locals that were great guides to us .... I would recommend this course to everyone that want to play in the Tucson area.

1st Trip to The Preserve

Spectacular views of the rugged mountains, dramatic elevation changes, every hole is different. Course is in good condition, fast undulating greens, do not be above the hole. Will return, enjoyed the day.

Range balls were $4.50/bucket and only about 15 balls in the bucket. Weather was not great, I think it was the only day all year it rained in Tucson.

Great Course beautiful vistas!

Been here before and enjoyed the course so much brought alone 3 friends (all of which will return to play another day). All was good except that there was no starter which would have been helpful. With that said we still got out on time and enjoyed the round.

Twilight round very nice.

Very friedly staff met us at the end of our twilight round. It was dark and I left my wallet in the cart. The staff drove it to me in the parking lot. We played slow due to our experience level. We still had to wait on others on the front 9. Opened up on the back nine with fewer golfers. We let other play through. My 3rd time playing here, There are uouses now on the front nine. The last half of the back nine is so close to the mountains hopefully they wont build streets and houses back there. Golfnow rates were so low I took my son!

"Customer Service" has left the building...

The course is in good shape, the greens are quick and smooth. No Rangers or drink service anywhere on the course. We were lucky in that the course was nearly empty and managed to play in a little over 4.25 hours (we waited on every hole, every shot... but not long). A typical round here is 5 hours plus. Unless you get a great rate from Golf Now the Preserve is simply not worth your money given the aggravation from a course that simply does not want your business.
