Improving Course Conditions

Fairways and greens have improved greatly since my last visit. Tee boxes are average condition, but OK. Greens, although much better, had two variants of grass (?) which made speed a question plus some bumpy runs. Main disappointment with the course is the bunkers being in terrible condition. And good luck if you get in a bunker encountering the mud, weeds, hardpan, etc.
Bottom line...course is and has improved.

Change in Policy at 49er??

The course was in reasonable condition although somewhat wet in many fairway areas. Greens were difficult to read as some were slower than others creating speed questions. Having played this course many times, I was amazed at how many "walkers" I saw on the course. I don't remember this in years past. The result was considerable slow play, which is not a characteristic I enjoy. With this in mind, the course (not the slow play) is fun to play.

Poor Player Consideration

Green fee was prepaid thru GolfNow. Last nights weather report stated "breezy" wind conditions, However upon arrival at the course today, the WINDS were howling at what appeared 35-40 mph, or higher. Considered cancelling, but with my prepaid green fee, I didn't have time and/or access to GolfNow to cancel, so I checked in at the pro shop. I paid for a bag of range balls and moved on to the driving range. Tried to hit some warm up short irons, but the wind was challenging my stance, swing, and interest. The wind was blowing so hard that clubs and stands were being knocked over and head covers were blowing down the range. Decided to limit hitting balls and move to the putting green. Same problem as putts being adversely affected by the wind, and balls actually moving around when supposedly sitting on green. Then decided that was enough, and went to the pro shop to see if I could get a credit slip for my prepaid time so I could return when there were less weather/wind conditions. This request was denied with little concern for the issues involved. So I retired my interest in golf at del Lago GC for this day and possible for the foreseeable future. Having played del Lago GC many times, this was a regretable experiience..

Course is Fun To Play

Only real criticism is SLOW PLAY! Our round was almost five hours and frustrating.on almost every hole. Greens were in good shape, albeit slower than expected. So, putts were hard to read for both speed and break. Fairways in good shape and hitting them is at a premium. Will play again, but hopefully without the slow play we experienced.

Course Conditons Need Help

The tee boxes and fairways were in poor condition. Greens were in good condition and rolling well. Bunkers continue to be terrible with "transition" to grass but were actually hard pan with weeds. Wish they would return to actual sand bunkers. Course maintenance was soon to begin and hopefully improvement will be noted.

Course Awaiting Aeriation/Maintenance

Course management is a premium playing this course. Also plan your shots to avoid various hazard areas is important. It's a challenging course and appears ready for its fall maintenance and aeriation activities. Also carts they have are computer programed to "assist" you around the course. Be careful about getting too close to greens and/or hazard areas as carts will halt and require you to back up to activate forward motion again. Takes a little to get used to.

Course Conditions Questionable

Front nine tee boxes, fairways, & greens very dry and inconsistent. Back nine appeared to have been watered recently, which made playability better. Bunkers were terrible with hard pan for sand and in some cases muddy. The course is good, but conditions could have been much better.
Maybe aeriation and course maintenance are coming? Hope so. Will hold off playing again to see how things go at the course.

Challenging Course

This course always presents challenges during every hole. Shot accuracy is a premium. Course was in good condition, yet greens were difficult to gage speed as roll out seemed slow and bumpy. Only real negative for the course is the bunkers which contain a good supply of small rocks which can damage clubs.

Course Rebuilding

I hadn't played the course in over a year due to declining conditions, so I had been hearing that the course was looking better, so off to play I went. Tee boxes and fairways were in much better condition. The greens were in much better shape, however green speeds were inconsistent. I am not a fan of the "bunkers" trying to be grass and not sand. I would prefer the latter. Anyway, the course is a great layout and continues to have great potential. Will play again.

A Challenge Awaits You

Fairways and tee boxes in good condition, but the greens were hard as rock and somewhat bumpy. Hitting greens did not leave ball marks. Green speed was much greater than it appeared. Overall, the course was enjoyable and does provide many shot challenges on every hole.

Course Management is a Priority

Course layout is excellent. .Tee boxes and fairways were in good condition. Greens were a little patchy, but speed was good. Only negative item continues to be the bunkers. Poor sand with plenty of small rocks and some had hard pan lies as sand was absent. Recommendation is to stay out of bunkers.
Overall, the course is a great layout and requires good shot making to avoid penalty areas.

HOLD THE WATER?

The course is making its return slowly and should be back to its normal challenges. Two things noted on this day while playing. First, course was appeared very wet with puddles of standing water on many fairways. Good lies were hard to come by given over watering and muddy conditions in many places. Second, slow play with groups ahead of us. These slow players are not appreciated and there knowledge of "KEEP PACE" with the group ahead is non-existent.
Still a great course lay out with high potential.

Course Improving

Course continues to improve conditions overall. Some tee boxes needed care, and fairways in good condition. Greens rolled slower than expected and were bumpy on many occasions. The course is enjoyable and does provide many shot making challenges.

Course Rebuild Under Way

First time played after 15 months due to very poor course conditions. Now the revamping of the course is very evident. Tee boxes and fairways were showing much improvement yet very wet. Greens were much improved and getting back to very good shape. I was disappointed to see the bunkers being let go to grass growth and no sand. Ove all I was impressed with the course improvement and play ability. Will play again soon.

Accuracy Counts

Course in good condition with greens running a little slower than I remember. The course requires good shot making and most importantly thinking about the shot you need to make.

Wind Doubles the Challenge

Course was in good shape except for the bunkers, which were mostly hard pan and/or filled with small rocks. The course layout does make you focus on your shots, but with higher winds, this became a major challenge. Overall this course is one of the best in southern Arizona.

Course Conditions Continue To Improve

Overall an enjoyable round as the wind did increase the challenges on each shot. Tee's and fairways in good shape, however there seemed to be more "rough" along the fairways than expected. Mostly patchy spots in first cut of rough, then plenty of run out into dirt rough. The greens were dry and sunning fairly well. Bottom line was the wind expanded shot considerations and made distance a real factor.

COURSE IS CLOSED

Not sure why GolfNow maintains this course on its course selections since the new/current owner has made it public notice that the course is closed and NOT re-opening. It's a sad truth as this course was a lot of fun and challenge to play. So I say..."so long to Kino Springs Golf Club and the memories will remain".

Very Good Resort Course

Course was not that busy so play moved along pretty good. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape, yet one notices many non-sanded divots left by players. Greens were soft and rolled somewhat slow. Again many ball marks went without repair. Overall the Anza/Rancho nines are fun to play.
