COURSE IS CLOSED

Not sure why GolfNow maintains this course on its course selections since the new/current owner has made it public notice that the course is closed and NOT re-opening. It's a sad truth as this course was a lot of fun and challenge to play. So I say..."so long to Kino Springs Golf Club and the memories will remain".

Southern Arizona's Hidden Jewell

This course is the jewell of the south. Well off the beaten path and offering all the challenges you are willing to step up to. Pace of play is good and scenery will beckon your return.
Try it, you will not be sorry.

There's no Grass!

Greens are good, tee boxes are fine and the fairways are nonexistent. Save you're money and play anywhere else. They should feel ashamed for charging anything over $5.

Course Needs Improvement

Greens are in good shape and putt well. Tee boxes are in average shape, not mowed, and several had sprinklers going full blast. Fairways are in terrible shape and need so much maintenance, but when? Will not play here for a while and then hopefully see conditions improve. Grill is still closed.

Course is Work in Progress

Greens were in good condition and putted well albeit slower than they looked. Tee boxes had grass, but not mowed. Fairways need help. Portions are being watered while some areas look like dry desert and need help. Course is a great layout and could be much better with improved maintenance.

Cow pasture fairways

The greens are getting better, but the tee boxes needed mowing and the fairways are rough, Especially #17.
We also noticed numerous sprinkler heads that were not working well. Maybe the pump needs replacing. This was especially bothersome on #10, when the ball splashed on the running water of a malfunctioning sprinkler.

Course is Coming Back

The course layout continues to be challenging and fun. They are watering fairways and greens heavily, which created challenges. Tee boxes need work. Greens are in good shape and rolled well. Hopefully the course can continue to improve.

Great!

Course is not as good as previous years but still a great time playing. Hope to see improvements for my next round. Greens fast and pretty consistent. Cart paths the same as always....rough. Take it slow and works ok. I think with a little improvement here and there, best course in the area and this includes Green Valley. Not really that important but, would like the cart lady back, for the back nine. Fantastic views also. Thanks for having us!!
