Poor signage and maintennance

I will never play there again. Fairways, (if that’s what they can be called) Horrible condition. Greens not too bad but need caring for. Weeds popping out. My cart looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month. (Cigarette butts and generally dirty). Bridges and unmarked dirt cart paths are hard to follow. Generally…No direction of play. I was lined up at t 3 and hitting toward green 11. Thankfully, someone shouted, “wrong way”

Short & Fun but not well kept

Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Sam Snead designed a beautiful little course here. I am sure they would be Disappointed with the condition it is in.

I have played Tecolote Canyon Golf Course many times and not posted a review. Here is the, Truth as I see it... This is a City Course that could be Much Better Maintained. EQUIPMENT and Knowledgeable Staff could easily be shared to Get This Course Back In Shape!

The course just needs some TLC. The layout is great but; The tee boxes need to be punched/leveling/seeds/water, The sprinkler system need serious attention as the fairways are dry/hard/patchy grass, The greens need someone to care about them too... punch them, give them water and fertilizer.

CONCLUSION: Share City Resources and Knowledge to get the right people and equipment to do what is necessary to get this Gem of a Golf Course back to the condition the designer's would be proud of!

First Time Playing

Super narrow with Skilles greens.

First time playing here so I can’t say what’s normal and what is not. Every hole was very backed up when I played. Almost 2 groups waiting to tee at every hole which really made this a long day. Note to new players who haven’t played here before, don’t use good balls if you can’t hit straight lol. Course is very narrow and rarely opens up. Need to focus on hitting straight (as always) but you have potential to lose many balls here. Greens were super fast with lots of angles and hills. It was a fun little course minus the pace of play.

One of the worst courses I’ve played

This course could be so awesome. Such a great layout with very difficult holes. Target golf for sure.

The major problem is that they literally do nothing to take care of the course. The best part of the property is the driving range that they open up to grass on the weekends.

As far as the course… The greens, trash. Divots, dead spots, overgrown grass on most of the greens. Can’t get a true putt to save your life.

The fairways, unbelievably terrible.

The tee boxes, haha! Just try and find a level spot around the weeds and the holes.

Again, this course could be really fun and challenging. But right now, it’s a joke. One of the worst courses I’ve played. And I’ve been playing for over 25 years.

They let this place go downhill

Every tee box needs to be replaced. Bunkers are in severe need of sand,daily raking and grass maintenance. Really should be ashamed that you’ve let this place go like this.

Fine little gem.

My first time at the Tecolote golf course. I only lost one ball. The greens were well kept and the area around the greens was well maintained. The fairways can be rough with little or no grass. We are in a drought so I don't expect the fairway to be watered, Walking was pretty easy from one tee to the next. They were merely next to one another. Excellent value for an 18-hole round of golf.

Short and not maintained

The course is short. Maybe good for practice. Not well maintained for the price.
