Southern Arizona's Hidden Jewell

This course is the jewell of the south. Well off the beaten path and offering all the challenges you are willing to step up to. Pace of play is good and scenery will beckon your return.
Try it, you will not be sorry.

I play this course twice weekly and consider it a best buy in golf today. We have several choices in the area but none top this one with its pristine conditions. It may well be a bit short for the expert golfer but for seniors and weekenders it is outstanding.

I used to live in the area and play this course often. It has really gone downhill on maintenance quality. Many poor greens and areas needing repair.

challenging but exhilarating.

Excellent course for the money. The only minus would be that the traps need to be reworked with better sand as most every Arizona course. Great golf outing for any skill level.

Torres Blancas is an okay course well suited for all levels of golfers not seeking the ultimate course layout. It is relatively well maintained and the greens are pretty fast.

Kino Springs is a challenging course that requires your best shots.

Kino Springs is truly a hidden gem. Twenty Five dollar green fees coupled with a ten dollar cart fee allows you to wind through challenging mountainous fairways ending on lightning fast greens. All well maintained and manicured. Truly an enjoyable golf outing that can be enjoyed by all skill levels. I look forward to returning.

this course is in excellent condition

It is my opinion that Bear Creek is a great value amongst courses in this area. The greens are in great shape as are the fairways. It is truly a pleasure to play this course and the personnel are great. Meeting and talking with their starter is worth the trip even if you do not play the course.

Nice course layout, poorly maintained, booked far too heavily.

Besides being a municipal course already being heavily played, this course has minimal attention to the groundskeeping effort. Pace of play is extremely slow, long waits on each and every hole with a cost that exceeds that of courses twice as nice in the same area. Play is heavy due to extremely flat layout and no real danger of losing balls or getting into serious trouble.
Green Fees are not commensurate with condition of course.
High fees for a poorly maintained course.

This course will soon be A1.

Under the new management team this course is coming along beautifully. Many holes are in top condition while a few are still being worked. The overall improvements are obvious and the course is becoming one of the premium courses in this area. It is a very challenging course for the average golfer which should be taken into consideration when booking one's rounds. All in all a great outing.

Under new management this course shows many signs of improvement. Although there is much work remaining to be done it is very obvious they are on a corrective course to bring it back to greatness.

Nice course layout, poor course condition

While this course is well laid out the conditions are as poor as I have seen in the Phoenix area. Fairways have very little grass, lots of dead weeds and acres of plain dirt, much of which is a muddy mess. The potential is there but it appears to me that management has decided to make a few bucks and pray some of the people come back for another round. This time of year in this area courses are heavily played and most are in pretty good shape.
The greens, I was told, were great. In actuality they were terrible. Grass extremely thin, bare spots, weeds.
Overall this is a poor course and therefore a poor value.

Course is in great condition

Lone Tree is a relatively challenging course and is currently in pretty good condition. The greens need a bit of attention as it seems many golfers no longer take the time to repair their divots on the greens anywhere. For some reason it seems worse at this course. This course offers a relatively challenging round to the average golfer as well as the skilled golfer.

This course has some challenging holes

While the course just recently reopened following the overseeding process, it is in very good reopening shape. It is currently limited to "cart path" only access so people with any problems walking should not go as traversing the fairways on foot can be rough with many traps and mounds. The greens are in "good" shape with a bit of a way to go. Many of the greens seem small for a championship golf course. There are some irregular holes which add a challenging touch to the round. Currently, with cart path only limitations, there is an abundance of waiting on the group ahead of you.

This course could be very good

Toka Sticks has a desparate need for course improvements. The 10th fairway is littered with rangebalss making it difficult to locate your ball. Many of the fairways require manicuring to place them in the shape most courses share in this area. The personnel are fairly cordial although they could go beyond what they extend to guests to make one feel more welcome to the course. The clubhouse needs renovation also.

Kokopelli is a great course however they are in the overseeding preparation process and the course needs to get through that.

I have played Kokopelli many times and enjoy the course under normal playing conditions. With overseeding preparation in full swing the course has been dried to prepare for the placement of seed. The course has a great pro shop and coffee shop and the people always try to please. I feel confident that when they have completed their overseeding, conditions will be excellent as we have become used to expecting at this facility.

Arizona Golf Resort Course needs attention.

When I played this course they were one week away from the overseeding process. In preparation for that activity the fairways were very dry having been thatched. The greens were in good shape but playing in the fairway was near impossible. Because this is a temporary situation it is unfair to give them a lower rating. I have played this course when conditions were supposedly excellent and it rates "okay" at best. Much, much Bermuda grass, alot which is not mowed makes for difficult golfing. Not sure why the staff does not go the "extra mile" to make this a premier course which would seem to me to be only little more money/effort.
The course receives heavy traffic, especially during the winter months. I live less than a mile away and play this course only once a year and I play 2-4 times per week.

Nice shorter course with excellent food in clubhouse which is leased to Fat Willy's Sports Bar.

Viewpoint is an excellent course for Seniors/Beginners/Children/ Ladies. The accomplished golfer would not at all be challenged by this course. When they are not in the overseeding process the course is very well maintained for the high volume of play it receives. The clubhouse is nice with a nice lounge/restaurant where you can enjoy breakfast/lunch indoors or outdoors on the patio while watching golfers complete their rounds.

This course has the potential to be very good.

San Marcos is a very old golf "resort". The course is maintained to the point of being playable but with little effort could be a very nice golf course. The first hole is rather oddly laid out due to the placement of a business building almost in the middle of the first fairway; but other than that the holes are laid out fairly well, simply not maintained the way most golfers would prefer. The pro shop and lounge are old and in need of updating also. Because of these issues the owners charge accordingly. One can play for very low green fees when compared to other courses in the area. Because of the low volume of play, it is ideal for beginners.

This course is being readied for overseeding

The course was in the last stage of preparedness for annual overseeding. This being the case it is unfair to rate it at this time as its normal condition is good to excellent. Right now it has been dried as part of the readiness. Some items I have not commented on because of this factor.
