JOCO

This is a great course for seniors and higher handicap players..The back nine is much more difficult than the front. They need to put more water on the course and get the sand traps raked. The sand is very good but, it is getting crusty. Overall, it is a good course with a good staff and good prices..

A good course for seniors !!

This course used to be one of the better courses in Tucson. Management refuses to spend some money on rye grass seed for all 18 fairways so, they paint several fairways !!!! Top golf course people will tell you, not to scrape the old bermuda but, to leave a quarter inch of it above the ground. Planting a generous amount of rye will not damage the bermuda if it is cut short in late spring so that the bermuda can come up for the summer. Guess they have not figured it out, yet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good course for seniors !!

Living in Catalina, the course is very convenient. The cost, through Golfnow, is very reasonable. The course, itself, is in pretty good shape. Sand traps are the best in town. They, actually, have sand in them. Tee boxes are good, fairways are ok and the greens are ok. The greens need more rye grass because there are bare spots and, there could be some mold on them. They do putt ok and, in fact, are pretty fast. I do know that they spray disinfectant on the carts, every night. Overall rating is GOOD !!!!!!

Great deal for the money !!!!!!

This is a great course for seniors because it is easy to navigate, meaning that there are no big surprises on the course. You can see the problems ahead of you. The course is in very good condition with the best sand traps, in town. Greens and fairways are good and it is playable in 4 hours or less.. It is a great deal for the money !!!!!!

The course is in very good condition. For a first time player, it is a challenge to find your way around the course because it is really spread out. Signage could be a little better. The greens are a challenge because of the mountain layout. One must be aware of the mountains to determine how fast and how much break on the greens. During this time of the year, the rates are very good for a course of this condition.
Overall, a great experience.

Oh, those greens

I would not recommend this course to anyone, at this time. The greens were absolutely awful. Lots of bare, sandy and very rough places. They were very slow. They, also, did not tell golfnow that the carts were on the path, only, which added insult to injury

The back nine, oh my!!

The course is in good condition although, the traps are quite hard. They have not been raked in some time. The front nine is an average nine holes but the back nine is very difficult. One cannot make a mistake anywhere or there will be penalty shots. No recovery allowed. I would recommend it, only to single digit golfers.

Oh, Boy !!!!!

I would like to recommend this course to friends but, none of them are single digit golfers. It is an extremely difficult course. No mistakes allowed. I shot an 83 and felt lucky to do so well. Narrow fairways, lots of washes, hilly and very slow greens. Course is in excellent shape except for the slow greens

Bad Shape

This has always been one of my favorite courses until today. The fairways are in bad shape. They are working on them but, none the less, they are in bad shape. The greens were just aerated and extremely rough. I would not recommend playing this course for a couple of months. The problems should be cleared up by then.

A good and fair course for all

The course is in very good condition however, the greens are slow. Other courses in town have faster greens. They need to cut them shorter
Very good course otherwise!!

poor condition

This course needs some serious work. The fairways were just fair, the traps were in poor condition, the greens were awful and the tee box were ok. Overall, this course needs help. Don't play here, you will be disappointed!!!
