Summer golf in Tucson is like a bar date, hot and cheap and you better be sure to stay hydrated.

Tucson National is top of the line golf and while the Catalina course is my all time favorite, the Sonoran Course is definitely in my top 10. Course conditions are always outstanding and while the greens were a bit slow after aeration, the course still didn't disappoint. If you have a chance and have never played it, do so and you will not be sorry.

Affordable and tucked away in the hills, the course is 5 degrees cooler than other Tucson courses and while it is not very long, it is full of challenges. Becoming one of my favorite short notice courses to play. I have seen deer on the course every time I have played it.

While there was no course alert for overseeding they are drying out the course in preparation for it. While I have no doubt that the course will again be in pristine condition, it is not right now. The greens fees are much reduced, but be prepared for some bare patches, overgrown traps, and hard greens. My date of play was mid September, expect an overseeding alert soon.
