Course management is a premium playing this course. Also plan your shots to avoid various hazard areas is important. It's a challenging course and appears ready for its fall maintenance and aeriation activities. Also carts they have are computer programed to "assist" you around the course. Be careful about getting too close to greens and/or hazard areas as carts will halt and require you to back up to activate forward motion again. Takes a little to get used to.

Hard to say the course even has bunkers. It’s more like rock pits. The bunkers need full renovation with actual sand added and maybe enough to have more than an 1/8th inch in depth.

Highly suggest moving to grass bunkers, easier on the maintenance team if you can’t afford to have real sand bunkers.

Excellent conditions except sand…hard packed.

Restaurant needs some work.

The temperature was 100 degrees and there was only one water jug on the course. I had my yeti filled with water and ice before starting and could only refill it once with water and once with ice from the beverage cart which we saw one ime only. By hole 16 I was out of water and ice. Did not finish the last 2 holes because of lack of energy. The other course I played the otber day had drinking water every 3 holes. I refilled my yeti numerous times.

Unfortunately front 9 closed so played the back 9 twice.
Nice course great views and in good condition.

Course is great as always, problem is they don’t advertise anywhere at all until you pay at the club house that they are only playing the front 9 twice due to a few day renovation project. That’s usually no problem but give the opportunity to people if they don’t want to play only 9 holes twice. There also was no cart girl service either. Course was in good condition as always though.

The front 9 was closed so we played the back 9 twice. There was no warning of this in the website while booking or at check-in at the club house. We were told to replay the back 9 after finishing the back 9. Very frustrating to pay full price when half the course is closed and the greens where freshly aerated so they were rough and bumpy.

This is one of my favorite courses in Tucson but after today, it will be a long time before going back. The course is the worst condition I have ever seen it in. Bare and muddy from tee to green and bunkers that haven’t been touched in quite a while. it is bermuda grass so it will be back but it has a very very long way to go.

Course is always a challenge. Fairways in good shape but greens not up to normal smooth true roll. Looks like a little trouble filling in from aeration’s. Played behind two older gentleman and a father and son. Father & son looked more beginners level. Overheard him say he played earlier that week and took 5 hours. Couple I played with planned to quit after nine holes. Played as a twosome still took 2:45 minutes to play back side. Watched 5 swings from the bunker. 🫢 Still almost 4:45 minute round.

Nice layout. It’s just that time of year when maintenance must be done and the heat is baking the grass out. It’ll be back. Bunkers are pretty hard.

I have played this one a handful of times since moving to Tucson a couple of years ago. The views are sensational. The signature hole, number 18, is stunning. It’s worth it to tee it up on the black tees just for the view itself.

Pros - Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The staff are exceptional and treat everyone wonderfully.

Cons - Unfortunately, they just aerated the greens, so they’re bumpy and sandy. The sand traps have some rocks in them and are very firm, so they’re really dirt traps. This seems to be the norm in Tucson.

Overall, I love this course and love playing it!
