Worst Greens Ever

IT's sad to say this. The Preserve is probably one of the best layouts, and beautiful course in Az. I would say easy in the top 10. My opinion. It is just flat gorgeous. The fairways are beautiful and the layout is great. But it rates a big 0 for the greens. I can't believe a course so beautiful can have the worst greens . It sure takes away from your game. You might as well put on a asphalt parking lot. Sorry Even the members don't have anything good to say.

Worst Greens ever

The Preserve could be the top course not to miss in the whole area. . But it's sad they don't have a better greens keeper. Or won't put the money into the greens. Other Robson developments (Saddlebrook) don't have this problem. Why here. ??????

Looking good!

I had heard that The Preserve wasn’t in the greatest of shape. Disappointing since it’s one of my favorite courses. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is in pretty good shape. Fairways and tee boxes are nice and green. The greens were a little thin turf wise and a little grainy, but not bad. They rolled nice and held approach shots. So players I recommend you go play what I think is one prettiest golf courses in the Tucson/Oro Valley area!

Prepay amount was not applied to my final payment.

Checked into pro shop and found out that they did not have a contract with Golf Now. As a result, the $57 pre-paid amount was added back into the remaining balance I ended up paying for the round. The Pro Shop said I needed to contact Golf Now to get the $57 refund. This is the first time this has ever happened. I was not happy about having to do this.

The course was not in good shape. Bunkers were not maintained, fairways were very scruffy and lots of dirt patches. However, I loved the layout of the tract but just wished the course had been in better condition.

Great layout, course conditions could be better

We love the layout of the course with many interesting holes and the feeling of being out in the countryside with few houses impeding the views. Pace of play was excellent. The fairways were not overseeded this year, so you're playing of dyed dormant Bermuda, which we didn't mind at all. However the greens have been overseeded and are quite fuzzy. They are the slowest of any of the courses we've played over the last two weeks.

Great views…

Great views, tremendous layout. Other reviewers have noted how fun the layout is and how spectacular the views are. This is 100% accurate. The greens are in good shape. The condition of the rest of the course is pretty rough. This is disappointing. Not overseeded either. Despite the conditions, the course is fun to play and worth it. Looking forward to improvements in the future. We’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful golf course

We played this golf course for the first time and absolutely loved it! We have played numerous courses throughout Arizona and this might be one of our very favorites. We will definitely be playing here again and again.

Terrible condition

This course is frustrating in that the location and layout could make it the best in tucson. It’s ALWAYS under repair. The greens were half dead. Maybe rolling at a 3 on the STIMP. it is borderline unplayable. They would be better off removing all of the greens and starting over. This course needs to be shut down for a year and allowed to recover from whatever poor management it has been suffering through. It has so much potential but the conditions drive people away.

Beautiful & interesting course layout

This is not a farm field transformation for recreation but rather an interesting use of valleys and hilltops to challenge golfers to plan their shots to utilize the terrain for best results.

Disappointed

I had played this course many times, several years ago. It was a "go to" course for my wife and me when vacationing in Tucson. I played it today and was very disappointed in it's condition. The greens were OK, but the fairways were horrible.

Not Worth It

I have had played this course many times over the years and was always one of my favorite in the Tucson area the scenery is phenomenal unfortunately the course conditions were atrocious the worst course we have played in Tucson in the last 2 weeks the fairways were not overseeded with Rye but we're simply dyed green no grass whatsoever on the fairways the Rough was Bermuda 4 in Long and they charge $85 per round to play this goat Ranch
