Outstanding outing thanks a lot to Keith (manager).
He has minimal to work with but still achieves incredible results. Absolutely the best greens in all of southern AZ.

Always the best choice

I can't find anything to complain about at Kino Springs. The staff is always friendly and treat us like they value our business. Everyone acts like they LOVE their jobs and the customer interaction. The carts are in good shape, as are the fairways and greens. The pace of play is always good and the $$ value, spot on! We drive down from Green Valley regularly because it's the best course in the area and the best value by far. Who could ask for more? Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Unprofessional Staff

Was hung up on with a staff member (Rich) after a disagreement in which no voices were raised and no expletives were said.
I called back and asked to speak to his superior. He said he was not there, at which point I asked for the phone number where his superior could be reached and he refused to give it.
Very unprofessional. I live in Rio Rico and will not set foot on the golf course again.

In the past, one was able to get discounts on their website. Those discounts have been cut back 80 %, and I therefore quit golfing there.

Love playing the course. Would play more if they would bring the discounts back.

Course Will Keep You Thinking

The course was in very good shape. Tee boxes and fairways were good and allowed you to play various shots. Greens were firm on front nine and very fast while back nine greens a little softer and quick. This course has a variety of challenges from the first five holes being straight forward and then you move to the hills where shot making is a high priority. Then you finish five holes that are also very straight forward. This is a great track for all levels of golfers. Keep in mind that course knowledge is a priority on those interior 8 holes where accuracy is a premium.

Nice course in a beautiful area

Played nine holes at 3 pm the last day of February 2016. Great fun. We practically owned the course since we were the last ones teeing off. Fairways and greens (fast) very well maintained.
Course getting more challenging as we progress.
Note that you need a 10 minutes ride to the club house when you finish hole #9.

I love this course !

We played in 4 hours - had to wait on a few holes. Course was in fairly good condition. Greens were excellent and true but fast. We had a beautiful day and the challenge of the course was excellent. Tough to score but fair.
We'll be back !!!

This course has large f/ways on some holes and then very tight f/ways on others. Will have to use most of your clubs in your bag. Fantastic mountain and canyon views. I will continue to make the drive and go back many times to play this course.

The canyon will get you

The course is varied. You start out with some flat land golf. Then enter the "canyon" Stop and read the sign as you enter. Coming out is a relief.

Good value at $19.00. Friendly staff.

I traveled about an hour from Green Valley to play the course, because I got a great deal on Golfnow . It was worth the trip . Greens were in good shape. Fairways were average. The layout is interesting, On some holes the fairways are wide but when you get up in the hills you better hit your targets. Lots of elevation changes and dog legs. The course is not designed to walk. Practise range is available.
