Great course to practice your short game!

This course is a well maintained Par 3 course with a few Par 4 holes. Very narrow fairways wedged between a creek and steep canyon walls making many holes challenging. Come with your short game to keep your ball out of snake and coyote country. Staff was very friendly and the beverage cart attendant was very pleasant and accommodating to our food and drink needs. They accepted credit cards and even would order food from the snack bar and run it out to us. Awesome!! We play here every few weeks and have enjoyed each time we have played. We highly recommend this course.

Good executive course

This is a good course to practice short game but be ready to wait on "new" players who don't know about letting faster players through.

Better than expected.

I'm just a beginner and was a little worried that this executive course might be a little too advanced, especially after some of the reviews. However, it was a perfect course to help improve "irons." You will definitely lose some balls though, unless you're a pro.

Excellent executive course

This course has difficult holes and greens even for the best of golfers and it's always a challenge. The only drawback is that being a dandy executive style course it can get clogged up if everyone is not keeping a good pace of play.

Greens nice, tee boxes and fairways need love...

The greens were very nice, but the tee boxes and fairways needed some love. Very dry and brown in spots. Very narrow fairways, not much room for mistakes on any hole on the front 9. 29.00 is a little much for the conditions....20 or a little less is fair.....will not return unless I can get around 20 dollars.....

great ameatuer course

Great course, and awesome greens. Although the fairway is filled with crabgrass which is hard to get good shots and well played balls. But all in all great course.

A great course, if you have 5 hours to play it...

The course is challenging, good setup, and the greens are well maintained. The problem is that the golf course does not enforce pace of play, basic etiquette, or a dress code. The 2 groups in front of us did not tee off on time, hit multiple shots of the tee, and were approximately 2 holes behind the group in front of them. Most of the groups also had tank tops and flip flops on, which was completely ignored by the Pro Shop and Starter. Complaints to the Marshall did nothing to resolve the problem and since we did not have time for a 5 hour round, we left after 9 holes (2 1/2 hrs at that point). Play when it's not busy, or play at your own risk.

The course is in great condition

I always go back to Tecolote. The greens were in great shape and I could not have asked for a better day. I play there twice a month and have always experienced a great course.

One of the most challenging executive courses

Some of the holes have OB really close to the greens. The tee boxes are usually on the bad side, but on flipside, the greens are nice and challenging depending on the flag locations for the day. On this particular round, It was annoying to find that there were unfixed ball marks on MOST of the holes. It felt like I fixed 2-3 ball marks on all but one green. Pace of play was slow for the first few holes, but it picked up rather quickly. I especially like that this course has a range that you can either hit off of grass or mats.

Great for short game

Course was in good shape. Don't let the distance fool you, narrow fairways provide a good challenge and your short irons will get a work out.

Tight Fairways

Tecolote, is a super executive coarse which makes for a tee off has to be dead straght as possible because you have very tight fairways. Your playing in a canyon with canyon slope mostly on the right side and a creek on the left side. So you better bring extra balls! The greens are fast and challenging. It sharpens your short game.
