Course needs a Marshall

Guess you get what you pay for. Glad we had a hot deal otherwise would be very upset. Took almost 5 hours to complete our round. Waited on every tee box. Course had too many people on it. Actually ran out of carts and had to wait until some golfers finished before we could get one. Some golfers seemed more interested in the beer than the golf. Course is wild. Loved that aspect.

Great layout, pace of play is poor, 5 hours on a Tuesday is too slow, cart paths need some attention, good value though

Interesting desert course

If you want to play a true desert course, this is a good choice. You will be hitting over desert areas to landing areas of grass. Shot accuracy is important, a wayward ball is a lost ball. I lost many, played a typical course a few days later and lost none.
It's really a wilderness type experience, no houses lining the fairways, just desert wilderness including a bit of wildlife. Enjoy the unique experience and forget about your score.

Course in best shape

Check in was quick. Clothing supply well stocked. Starter friendly. New carts. Pace even on a Saturday afternoon was great. Lots of variety of holes. Multiple tee distances and combination. Something for every one. Will definitely return.

Fun mini course

Played this course yesterday and had a lot of fun . We got paired up with a couple we played with the week before, just out of the blue, and had a blast, they had recommended the course. The course is interesting, no two holes are alike and most are challenging, if you are a lower handicap (8-12) you will probably shoot below your handicap and will definitely enjoy the course. Higher handicappers expect to lose some balls. The staff is friendly except for the starter, he is either shy or just uncomfortable with people he doesn’t know. If you want a fun, somewhat challenging round, give Fred a try, it’s worth it. We liked it enough to return today.

Slow, slow, slow

This course took over 5 1/2 hours to play on a Saturday Afternoon. No player's assistant or others seen to help speed up play. Very ironique that the scorecard states "Expected Pace of Play policy not to exceed 4 hours and 30 minutes will be enforced" Put your money where your mouth is!!
Poor signage between greens and the next tee box - we got lost several times in the desert trying to find the next tee box.
Some of the cart paths were poorly maintained - I've driven on better logging roads.
Only positive of the round (apart from finally finishing) was the friendliness of the refreshment cart person - she also assisted us a couple of times to find the next tee box.
Definitely will not play this course again when I visit the Tucson area.

South Tucson ccourse

Actually liked this desert course..
coul use better signs to next hole but liked the. course...one hole seemed not a wise choice...it had the green surrounded by stones that were 4-5 fret tall...if you didn't get on green from 30 or so yards getting on green in front of stones is hard as the ground in front is not nice grass to hit off of...seems weird and holds up golfers

5 hours to play

It took 5 hours to play this very nice desert course, which rather detracted from all the good things about it. I will have to think hard before committing to another round here.
