About

I usually play the middle tees.
I judge the tees by how I can reach the par 3s.
I enjoy playing different courses.
I may not know where I'm gonna play until the day of.
Sometimes I make plans and play with some friends.
Other than that, I'll make friends on the course.

A must play when visiting the area

While attending our RV Rally at Don Laughlin's RV Resort, another out of towner and I wanted to play a local course. The time was good, the weather was compatible, the price didn't starve us, and the drive to it was easy. Beware 18,; All was good until I sent 3 balls for a swim. That's okay; we had a fun time regardless. I just hope the poor player with diarrhea who messed up the porta potty between 8 & 9 is feeling better. I guess I should have told the pro shop about that.

Fun Area Challenge

Other player & I were at an RV Rally in Laughlin, NV. Had time to play and checked reviews. Chose Mohave, and we enjoyed the course, amenities, and layout. Scored well but lost 3 balls in water on #18. Don't be brave; lay up off the tee and 2nd shot,; accept the bogey! Enjoy the course. Greens were a bit difficult to judge breaks but speed was good. We failed to get pro shop advice. Would play there again.

Thoroughly Enjoyable to walk

Good flat walking course. No crappy desert dirt bunkers; now the greenside bunkers are deep grass. The course cannot be made longer, so the greens are being cut smaller. That's the challenge.

Challenge worth the drive

From Tucson, < 45 minutes. A fresh challenge from the normal Tucson Munis. We couldn't keep up with the group ahead 'cause most these folks are regulars and know the course. Course in great condition because they don't scalp & overseed. Shop staff felt shorted since we got such a good deal on GP+; the starter was kind enough to release us a few minutes early but the same time pair caught up to us. Great price for the 'shoulder season'. I was surprised to play the back 9 better than the front 9 which is not my norm here. Fun either way.

Nice stroll.

I jumped on this $33 GP+ HD and used a credit. It was so nice, I chose to walk with my MGI Zip Navigator. John M. played the Yellow Tees and rode solo. During the back nine storms of the Santa Catalinas threatened but never our way. we finished in speedy time of about 3:45. Greens gave me some fits but not blaming the grass. Beverage cart was seen multiple times, and our group took advantage of it. We had some nice weekday, fast, fun.

Worth Walking

A buddy and I booked this on GP+ and were able to use a Hot Deal Credit which makes golf enjoyable when it's less that $1.50 per hole. The weather was nice, and the pace was speedy. Unusual storms were brewing above the nearby Santa Rita Mtns while we played the 2nd nine but they didn't threaten our game. We witnessed the beverage cart serve us 4 times during our round. Crews were working on a few places improving the course for the better.

Drove up from Tucson on a weekday. Course was in great condition. Weather was excellent. Staff was accommodating. Post game lunch was plentiful, and not expensive. An senior playground!

Challenge for any golfer

Enjoyable course with a variety of holes. A bit narrow but it could be psychological. Greens were in great shape but a bit too fast for my liking; many putts over 30' ended up 10' past the hole. Don't worry about not being in the fairway; it's not deep, just brown. There is a bathroom key on the cart key ring, but it didn't work on one of the bathrooms. And there is a combination lock as well. Ensure you learn how to enter the bathrooms as nine to ten does not pass the clubhouse.

Bunkers?

Stay out of the so called Bunkers. More rocks than the desert. If they're not going to put in sand, they need to just lest the grass grow in to punish the golfer, not their clubs.

Other than the bunkers, I will go back and play this course again.

The wind is above you

With Tee shots and approach shots protected by some trees or quarry, the wind is above you. The greens were very bumpy and very slow. Other than that, the course was fun and hopping.

A Green Valley Gem

This course is at the south end of Abrego Dr in Green Valley along the west side of the Santa Cruz 'river'. A bit of a drive from Tucson but the savings is worth it.
A unique layout winding through a retirement community with little hazards to the houses.

The ponds has receded a bit but this is the AZ desert in a drought.

Make sure you're keeping score on the correct side of the card as the other side is Canoa Ranch.

Fun challenge for a friendly outing

2 Golfing buddies had not played this course. This was a great introduction day to play. Worth the casual drive to the west side of town. Not a long course if you play forward but you'll be thankful you did to be able to negotiate the hazards. Truly a fun course to play.

Worth the drive....through traffic!

49r is not far; it's just deep on the east side of Tucson through street traffic almost to Reddington pass. But that puts it in a nice flat valley with nice mountain views. I would walk it if it weren't far between 7/18 holes. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. Fairways were bare in spots and the greens were rough and bumpy in spots. But overall condition was good.

A must play if you enjoy a pleasant challenge

It’s worth the drive to the west side of town. With water on 14 holes, shots must be well planned and well placed. The staff is pleasant and the beverage carts roam well; one on each 9. You won’t be disappointed!

Grass Bunkers

Weather was perfect so I chose to walk. I was joined by Jerry S. from Montana. The course is transitioning away from bunkers to minimize maintenance; they are allowing long grass to be grown in the bunkers. It is just as challenging as sand as it's no guarantee what the lie may be. I did not play as well as expected, though I holed a 27' putt from 5' off the green on 18. I lost to the Course 4&3.

Fun Grass

I drive up (usually with a buddy) from Tucson to play this course. This is the 5th time in 5 years I've played this course. Today the course was in the best shape I've seen it; it's a shame it's being closed soon for over seeding but it will be even better. Kudos goes to the residents who made a wise decision to 'invest' in the course. (Little known knowledge from the starter). I can see this course raising their rates after word gets out that this is worth the 45-60 min drive. Keep up the great work. The only downside, though I succeeded in avoiding them, there were too many rocks in the bunkers. I shall return, but sooner than later.

Stay out of the bunkers

Unless you wish to dent up your clubs, stay out of the bunkers. There is more rocks in the bunkers than the sand in the wash in my back yard. Other than that, it was all good. The greens were a little slow but then most all greens are slow this time of year. I wish this course were close to my house just for the practice facilities.

Can't get longer; make the greens smaller!

Quick, easy check in since I paid with GP+. Greens were a bit slow; and many had some disease around the fringes. This maybe from the course super attempting to make the greens smaller since it is not possible to make the course longer. fairways were in great shape, so I challenged myself to use the rough, which was is very good shape without being too punishing. The two of us in two carts played in 3 hours with a 1036 tee time. The course beat me 3&1.

Lots of grass, from the rain.

....but the grass was not where it was needed. Maybe because we played on a Thursday, it was not mowed. And it was patchy and uneven, especially the tee ground. The beverage cart came around at least three times, maybe four' she was on the ball. The front desk had us go off as soon as we checking in; it was not busy. I would give the course time to 'heal' from the monsoons before I played here again.

Come on out; the grass is green! Yummy Fish Tacos!

Just drink lots of water because it is still very hot. There is water involved in 14 of the holes on Sewailo, and that is why the grass is always green; as the Tribe has rights to water passing through their lands, and they don't skimp on this course. The Marshall was very good at holding up a slow (beginner) group so our faster (experienced) group could play through. This would be a very challenging course for beginners. The beverage cart met up with us 4 or 5 times (If you're not hydrating, you won't play well). The Fish Tacos in the restaurant are Delicious..
