Sewailo Golf Club
About
Sewailo Golf Club is part of the Casino Del Sol Resort in Tucson, a luxurious resort run by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. The course's name, Sewailo, means "flower world" in the Yaqui language. When the idea of creating the golf course was first formed, the tribe enlisted the help of fellow Native American and PGA Tour player Notah Begay III as well as renowned course architect Ty Butler. The team fully utilized the rugged landscape, crafting a championship layout with a range of shot values and a variety of hazards. The bunkering is minimal but strategic, added to complement the natural features rather than overpower them. There are also lakes and meandering streams that come into play. Sewailo Golf Club has five sets of tees with the longest stretching to 7,400 yards.

Great fun
A sunny day and playing with 3 young guys who knew the way. It’s a fun layout that requires you to pay attention. Lots of room but still challenging. The course was set up pretty hard, lots of pins tucked into small edges, so it was extra challenging but still fun.
5 Star Course
Exceeded expectations. As challenging as you want to make it. Multiple T boxes to suit every level of play.
Beautiful holes. Tons of bunkers.
Get ready for lots of sand play. Great range. Looks like a nice open course, but some trouble with water and bunkers. Beautiful setting. Definitely worth a play.
Slowest round of my Life!
Love this course and it’s one of the most beautiful in Tucson, but my god today was awful. The 2 groups in front of us couldn’t keep up with the pace and dragged for all 18 holes. Saw the beverage cart one time on the second hole and never again, even requested it (it has an option on the cart screen) and never saw it again. Called and complained about the pace and they threatened to charge me for my 4th player that didn’t show up. I’ve never been charged for that before in my life. Awful experience and I usually love this place.
Especially tough in wind
Fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Greens hold approach shots and are fast. Loads of bunkers. Some holes, however, almost unfair since no rough. Can hit a perfect drive over fairway bunkers and it runs though the "rough" into the desert. That said, it is one of the top public courses in Tucson. Great practice facilities. Staff is always very welcoming.
Challenging in the wind
This is a course that requires experience. Precise ball placement and forced carries are especially difficult in the 10-20 mph winds we dealt with. The course is attractive but extensively bunkered.
Fairways are in excellent condition. Greens are running true.
Fun course
Accuracy off the tee is paramount here. If you miss the fairway you are either in a bunker, in the desert or in the water. To say this course is well bunkered is an understatement.
Beautiful Desert Course
Sewailo is a true desert course. My husband and I were paired up with two gentlemen also golfing the course for their first time. It was a very enjoyable round under January sun :) The course is expansive with a lot of sand to add mucho challenge! We would definitely play it again.
Nice course
Greens are showing lots of ball marks
Can’t believe golfers don’t repair their divots
Nice course...great staff
Fair price if booked on line
Sewailo
Nice course right next to casino. Really slow today. Great staff. Would recommend
Alow play and fast fairways
By the 9th hole there were 5 groups on the hole. No marshal to address slow play. Fairways mowed short as a green. Greens in rough shape but rolled fast. Left after 9 holes as it was a poor experience. Had tee time for next day but didn’t go back for it. Save your $ and play somewhere else that is enjoyable.
Nice Course
Played with my husband. Had a nice layout and course well-maintained. Staff very friendly. Would definitely play again.
Wonderful course
Played with my wife. Staff and course conditions were fabulous. Plenty of sand to avoid. Tee locations great for both of us. Back nine was my favorite but enjoyed all 18. Staff in and out of clubhouse was top notch and friendly. Finished right at dusk and headed to casino for dinner. Great afternoon. Home course for AZ and followed them in practice round.
Great Value
The course is in great shape, greens are challenging. Really enjoyed playin there.
I will definitely return
Perfect Day!
Had heard about Sewailo thru a friend, so decided to book a round as a single on current visit to Tucson. Turned out to be an excellent choice for several reasons - great layout and facility, friendly people, beautiful sunny day. Loved it!
You should play this course
The layout is great ....the price is fair ....the course is in great shape and challenges you with many type of shots
Shhh
My favorite course in Tucson. On top of that it is great value. Layout is great. Every hole is a new surprise and a different challenge. Front 9 is a lot easier For scoring. and then the bag nine grabs you and the Bear attacks. Great for match play. 17 could be my favourite hole in Tucson. I have played Troon North a fair bit and I place this course just slightly behind
Greens are a little soft but roll very true. Fairways and tees are perfect. Pro shop is good. Canteen/bar is all you need. Great practice facilities.
Only negatives are the soft greens which lead to a good number of Ballmarks and the bunkers tend to have some players who “forget” to take. Not the course’sfault.
Can’t say enough about this course.
