JJCWIK

Let us start off by saying we have played this course several times each year over the past 3 years and love this course and many of the familiar faces we see staff wise.

That said.....

No masks anywhere by anyone in the clubhouse or by on course staff. Cups were not not modified at all so you had to fish you ball out of the hole (when you could actually putt - see more below in that). There was also a Vietnam War Memorial going on at the driving range - again - no masks, no social distancing.

Where are the former best bent greens in the southwest? Several greens were unplayable due to being burned out and/or full of Poana. Practice putting green looked great - no so much on the course.

Sand - bunkers were dried out, lacked sand and many had become overgrown.

Tee Boxes - some were just dirt......

Just sad that they are not following Covid19/CDC Guidelines and that their maintenance is lacking.

Much room for improvement required if you want us to come back.

Great track just east of Tucson. We play here about once a month outside of winter.

Pros:
Great staff - love them!
Great layout (desert links)
Clean restrooms
Water Stations!
Cleaned up overgrowth around water hazards & other locations throughout course.

Cons:
Greens were not what we are used to at this course - pretty beat up.
Bunkers need SANDDDDDD!!!
Slow Play (5.5 hrs is a bit much - near perfect weather offset the long day)

It’s winter so we get that there dormant grass - so should you if you go (provides great roll out!).

This was a great escape from the covid19 virus!

Pretty course until you get to the first tee and realize you are COVERED in mosquitos. Even after using bug spray, my husband and I still got bit all over! Our face, ears, legs, arms and even through our clothing. We had to spray our clothes with mosquito repellent and still got bit. There was people who stopped playing because of the swarm of mosquitoes. The only reason we stayed to finish is because we drove all the way from Vail. There was standing water throughout the course and even mosquitoes in the bathrooms, so many we couldn’t shut the door to use the restroom. We were hoping the swarm of mosquitoes were just on the first few holes but it turned out the entire 18 hole course was covered in mosquitoes. The guy working in the pro shop knew there was an Issue with the mosquitoes because people were going in asking him for bug spray and he still took peoples money without making them aware. I can’t believe we paid money to golf here and drove over an hr to get there. Made for a very very disappointing day and an even more disappointing night, now that we are covered in mosquito bites the size of a quarter all over our face and body.

It is a shame that this course isn’t getting more play. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, traps were in excellent condition. Greens are healing from being aerated. Staff was great and loved the electric carts! Highly recommend!
