Really fun course that is in excellent shape. Greens and fairways are both top notch. Greens are especially challenging....I read a few reviews that were critical of fairways.... those reviews are complete BS...great place to play.

I was in Tucson for 10 days killing time. I brought my clubs and played 6 courses during that span, including a couple twice. Ignore any negative reviews....course was in good shape....not.perfect but very good...the attraction is the unique layout...back nine is a real treat...I've played a couple of quarry courses before....this is worth playing...

In Tucson for work...played course on Sunday afternoon...course is in great shape. Definitely target golf....course.plays long in places but fairways, greens and tee boxes all in great shape.

I'd definitely play it again.

Course is in very good shape given the extreme temps and lack of rain we have been experiencing. Fairways are green and relatively soft, and greens play true throughout.

Nice place to play. Pin placements were especially challenging and course was very breezy, which made for a long day. Everything was in great shape as usual from tee boxes, fairways, traps, 2nd cut and greens....

Course is in great shape. Challenging lay out. Does not play long but will require you to use every club.

I play a number of the better public access courses in this area, and this is a great bargain.

Conditions for mid summer were excellent. Fairways are well groomed. Greens play well and are consistent throughout. Overall a very satisfying day.

Challenging and enjoyable course. Fairways and greens were in very good shape, especially compared to some of the local courses that remain soggy.

A couple of the par threes play a bit short, but otherwise a very nice course with a challenging layout. Half Irwin did himself proud!

Played at 0730 on a Saturday morning. Course is in excellent condition. Fairways and bunkers are 5/5. Vast majority of greens are the same....there are a couple that are still improving from the winter.

Course layout is long (not as long as Montgomery), and there are far, far fewer fairway bunkers. Likewise bunkers protecting the greens on O'Meara are far less intimidating than the canyons you will find everywhere on Montgomery.

If I had to choose between the two courses at Carton House, I'd play O'Meara over Montogomery. O'Meara has better variety and rewards club selection over power. You still have a few holes where you can/need to crank a drive, but I think the O'Meara course provides a better opportunity for an enjoyable round of golf.

Interestingly, my score was 3 strokes lower on Montgomery (I'm a 14) but I think over time that would flip around.

Have fun. Great support staff and facilities at Carton House. I played there at 0945 after arriving from Dublin on my way to the west coast of Ireland, and we played there yesterday at 0730 before I dropped a friend at airport for a 1500 flight.

I had a wonderful round of golf on the Montgomery course. Staff was incredibly helpful.

I arrived by plane from the states at 0630 and I was on the course after a great breakfast at 1000.

The breakfast buffet at the hotel is 15 Eu but worth it if you are playing a morning round.

Montgomery course is in great shape. Course plays long and wind works as your friend or foe. Fairway bunkers are sinister and were placed by someone who seemed to think, "I dare you to try to hit over this.". Most greens are surrounded by a series of bunkers deep enough to park a small truck in. ... overall a very challenging but fun course. A great place to leave your ego at the first tee box and just have fun.

A special shout-out to the staff. I was a single and I booked onto a threesome. When I arrived the threesome had shown up with a 4th person. Staff in clubhouse was great (thanks to the Carol or Catherine...sorry I had jet lag) for all your help and hospitality....you made day 1 of a 30 day solo golf trip truly special.
