Excellent Course!

Having just moved back to Tucson, I wanted a challenge for my first round back. I got that and much more! Course was in great shape, greens were slower than I anticipated but true roll and in excellent shape. Course plays great from the fairways but like most desert courses the greens don't hold many approach shots unless you can spin it consistently. That being said, I can't wait to play here again! I've always enjoyed this course and the staff was absolutely fantastic! Heartily recommend!!!

Very Enjoyable!

Took a flyer on this course because I'm always looking for new courses to experience. Have to admit I was very pleasantly surprised. Staff was awesome (John, the starter, especially), course was in good shape, greens weren't holding all that well since it was fairly dried out but they putted true and fairly quick. Suffice it to say I will return and play here again. Very enjoyable round of golf!

Nice day and round

Course was in good shape, the greens were quick and true. Fairways were in excellent shape (a couple of the greens were spotty but not a problem area) but the bunkers could use a little sand. Staff was awesome and very friendly. Overall, I will probably play this course again.

Nice, tough and fair (at times)

Picked up a round here for a discounted price and overall it was worth the drive (about 45 min from home). Greens were quick altho difficult to read. Course is in good shape altho many who were playing ahead of us certainly weren't helping. Divots not repaired and ball marks everywhere on the greens. Not a reflection on the course or the staff, course was busy and people simply were not taking care of the course. Greens wouldn't hold approach shots and were VERY hard! Even when you landed an approach shot at the front of the green, the ball would end up at the back or even off the green. Hole locations were also on the difficult side of things as well. Overall, a very nice venue that I will probably play again soon. Staff was very friendly and courteous altho the rangers could have done a better job of moving folks along. Five hours is a bit long for a round.

Response from on 01/04/2017:
Hi wicmeister, Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on your round. The greens have been difficult to read, but it sounds like you were up for the challenge! It's great to hear you received excellent customer service from our staff, but we will take your 5 hour round into consideration when assessing pace of play. See you soon! Best, Atlantis Country Club

1st time

1st time I've played this course and definitely plan to return. Course was in good shape, greens were quick but deceiving on the read. Excellent course, staff was great and I'm looking forward to playing here again, hopefully very soon!

First time...

I had heard so much about this course that I couldn't wait to play. Weather was an issue for a while and the greens had recently been aeriated (sp?) but the course was in great shape nonetheless. Greens were very quick and true despite the poking. Love the layout of the course, very playable. Can't wait to play it again!

Great course!

Thoroughly enjoyed this course despite it being so soggy from heavy rains the night before. Greens were very slow early (as I would expect them to be) but once they started to dry out a bit, they became pretty quick. Despite the sogginess of the course and the high humidity, course was in fabulous shape. Can't wait to play here again when it's dry!

Quite enjoyable

I'd heard a bit about this course so I was looking forward to my round here. The staff was awesome, course was in excellent shape (altho the greens weren't holding very well), putts were quick but true and fairways were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my round and can't wait to do it again. While not a "resort" course, Flamingo is worth it, especially with the deal I received from Golf Now on the price!

Not too shabby!

Selected this course since I hadn't been able to play for the past six weeks and wanted to work my way back on a course that wouldn't kill me. This course fit the bill quite nicely! Staff was awesome. course was in pretty good shape and offered a moderate challenge. Not too hard but not a picnic either given my lack of play recently. I quite enjoyed my round and will certainly return!

Nice Tract

Quite enjoyed this course altho the pace of play was less than optimal. Course was in good shape and the greens were great. Bunkers were a little rocky (and I found my way into quite a few!). Overall, I was very pleased and will definitely play here again!

Good play for the money

Quite enjoyed the course, the staff and the experience. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were firm but fair and rolled very well. Bunkers were a little rough and could use a little TLC but were playable. Staff was great and the pace was excellent. Will most definitely return!

Disappointed

Course was in good shape and quite play able. Staff was less than friendly (actually, downright rude). No marshall on the course and pace of play was absolutely horrible! It was so bad, my playing partners called it a day after 13 holes and 4.5 hours (at that point). I finally finished an hour later. I certainly won't play here again on the weekend!

Not bad...

Course plays shorter than listed (and in fact IS shorter than listed). Early in the season so greens weren't in best of shape. Staff was awesome. Bunkers were in HORRIBLE condition! Overall, not a bad play for the money.

Playable

Bunkers were immaculate but greens were spotty at best. Fairways were okay. Nice little course but not one that I would consider a "must" in the grand scheme of Southern Arizona courses to play.

Tough Course

If you enjoy target golf, this extremely tough layout is definitely for you! Tough course, long and made longer by the wind (which at times can howl!). Pin placements were sometimes next to impossible and the greens were lightning quick. Definitely a punishing course if you get aggressive. Definitely would not recommend this layout for beginners or novices.
