Great day

Played Monday with my Father in law who was in town visiting from Texas, Really enjoyed our round. You can tell that the course staff is working diligently on the course during these drought conditions. Fairways are dry amd greens are hard, I really like the layout and the staff is always friendly. Will play again soon, and can’t wait till the fall I’m sure it will be amazing with all the work and attention they are giving it this summer. Thank you!

Great time

Recently relocated to Oro Valley, this is the 8th course I played here since the move. It’s in my top 3. It’s forgiving but a little challenging. Beautiful views. They have recently aerated but still a fun track. Thinking about playing it agin this weekend.

Interesting track, greens run true, fairways just aerated

Wouldn't pay top dollar until fairways in better condition. Some challenging and interesting holes. Greens roll well and hold approaches.

Thank you very much for your review. We welcome all feedback, and your comments have been forwarded to our management team. This is the time of year that we begin to get the course ready for summer, and unfortunately, that does mean it is time to aerate, thus making conditions a little less desirable than usual. And for that we apologize. However, we are so pleased to read that the pace of play and staff friendliness met/exceeded your expectations. And that you do recommend our course. We do hope you give us another try. Looking forward to seeing you on the greens!

Beautiful views, Slow greens

The views are quite beautiful. It would be a wonderful course except the greens were incredibly slow. The greens were what you would expect from a course that charges $25 instead of $79.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We value your opinion. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered on your most recent visit to our golf course.

Unfortunately at the time of your visit, we experienced equipment failure with some of our golf course maintenance equipment which affected parts of the golf course. The staff did the best they could during this time to ensure the course stayed in adequate condition that would not further hinder our guests’ play.

I would be happy to address any other concerns with you personally if you would like to email me. – Michael Kropf, Golf Course Superintendent, mkropf@suncityorovalley.com

Cost of play too high for course conitions

All my friends told me I had to play The Views. I was so pumped to be able to play and it ended up being a shot gun start. I played with three nice gentlemen and started on hole 10. I was very disappointed in the course conditions of the fairways and greens on the back 9. Making the turn, the conditions improved but still not worth the cost of the 18 holes. I probably will never play it again. Even my cart partner agreed and said he would not bring his son in law to play.

Ok but not my favorite

This course was challenging and very difficult to figure out the greens. Lots of rolling hills and difficult lies. The views of the mountains made it worth the trip across town though. I had played it one other time and had forgotten. Probably won’t go again.

Good Times at The Views

From arrival to the time I left The Views my interactions with the entire staff were great.

What hidden gem up in Oro Valley. The Views lives up to its name as a majority of the holes give just that.

Course conditions were good on this course that used to be private and has a lot of members. So if they have tee times available for outside play I suggest you jump at the opportunity.
