Perfect weather
Used cart

Growing into great

The course has reopened Saguaro and Tortolita after refreshing most of the bunkers and all the greens after 20+ years. Saguaro is recovering nicely but cart path only which added at least an hour to the round. Tortolita is lush in the fairways and well recovered enough to allow carts on a 90 degree entry/exit. Obviously pace of play improved greatly but still a 5 hr round.
Great course. Great staff. Look forward to playing here again next time I’m through Tucson.

Bumpy greens

I believe they punched the greens a couple weeks ago and they just haven’t recovered yet. Will be nice once they roll the greens but today they were just bumpy and hard to hold a line.

Saturday Round Under Four Hours!

Glad to have Turkey Creek back open again. Have played this course many times and it is usually a 5 hour round on a good Saturday. Not today and not with the reduced touch points like not pulling the pin or no rakes for the bunkers. The course put some round foam in the holes so your putt did drop but only an inch and a half so it was easily retrieved. Seen this on other courses and think it would be worth investing in it even after the play returns to normal. Our round was 3 hours and 50 minutes and we weren’t rushed at all. I would have given the course a five star for condition but being a public course the greens were beat up a little more than normal. Then that’s not the courses fault. I just wish everybody would be more mindful and fix their ball marks. Other than that, it was a great round!

Can’t beat the pace of play.

Took advantage of GolfNow’s Book-on-Line and saved $65 off resort rate. With the $50 replay I got 36 holes for under $100/round. Both rounds were 3.5hrs and 4.0hrs with a 7:56 start time. Island time means most don’t get going until 10:00am. Beautiful ocean views meant lots of elevation change, but well worth the extra yardage off the tee on downhill holes.
