Great challenging course

Good to see the Preserve overseeding with winter rye grass again. Makes a big difference. This course is probably my favorite public course in the Tucson area. It had a great variety of hole designs and has several particularly challenging holes. The views are fabulous.

Great design; miss the overseeded fairways

Would rate this a 5 if they overseeded the fairways in winter. When they did that a number of years ago, this track was one of my top 2 or 3 in the Tucson area. One improvement this year is the greens, which are smooth and fast. I think the $100 price tag (with taxes) is a bit much for the condition. If the fairways were overseeded it would be worth that price.

Great Design and Condition

Great track, beautiful views, lush condition. Cart path only because of recent overseeding but our threesome played at a comfortable pace within 4 hours with no waiting on any shots.

Note on GolfNow: I booked my time as a single a few days before, got my GolfNow email confirmation. But when I showed up, the course did not have me in their system. They managed to accommodate me anyway.

One of Tucson’s Best

One of my personal top 3 favorites in the Tucson area. The track has a great layout of holes, and is always in top condition. The course presents a good challenge but not a brutal one (although no. 10 might be fairly characterized as a brutal hole—it’s very tough). Excellent value golf course.

SW Utah Gem

Terrific track located in SW Utah. The back 9 has a number of truly awesome holes carved out of the side of the red cliffs. Keep the camera handy.

Beautiful course but some downsides

This golf course is one of my favorites in the Tucson area. The track has a great layout and beautiful views. There are some downsides however: there are currently no real amenities (little to no restaurant services, no refreshment cart, no merchandise, not even golf balls to purchase) and the pace of play is painful at times They should allow more time between tee timesthsn they currently do. This is a challenging track and unfortunately it appears to attract a fair number of senior golfers whose skill level is more suitable for a muni. So be warned if you want to play it this time of year. Pace of play was much better in December.when there were not as many golfers

Desert Gem

One of the nicest public access tracks in the Tucson area. Beautiful course layout along the foothills of the Catalina mountains not far from Oracle. The Saddlebrooke HOA has apparently taken over managing the property and as a result the Club house has absolutely no merchandise, which is a bit odd. But the course itself is still in great shape and that’s what counts.

Scenic and challenging

My second time playing here; the first was a year ago so I did not recall most of the holes. Would be a definite benefit if the club provided GPS because the undulating terrain provides for a lot of blind shots and uncertain distance to landing areas that can yield unpleasant surprises. There were a few times when I hit too much club or unwittingly hit a shot in a bad spot. But great condition and beautiful golf course tucked away in the foothills of the mountains.

Nice layout but condition a bit rough

Course design is nice but condition was a bit on the rough side. Lot of dead grass areas. Perhaps the hot August stressed the course. Players I was paired with indicated course condition in the past has usually been much better.

Top Tucson Track

One of the top level courses in the Tucson area. Very scenic, challenging course in excellent condition. Some of the best greens you'll find in the area- quick but true (although sometimes tricky to read)

Unbelievably bad condition

I have never seen a course in such poor condition. Last played iit in summer of 2014 at which time it was in fair condition. What a difference a year makes. Course is supposedly under new ownership that intends to resurrect it next year. I would not recommend playing it until it is in playable condition. It really should not even be open for play. Tee boxes are primarily dirt, half the fairways are comprised of dirt and the rough is primarily weeds and crab grass. Greens are patchy and very bumpy. Also on one of the greens there was a fecal log plopped right by the hole. Unbelievable!

Thank you for your feedback about the course, the greens and course have been in very poor condition but we recently hired a while new maintenance staff to take over. In the meantime, enjoy generously discounted rates by booking on our website!

Nice layout; some condition issues

This course has a nice layout but there are a few condition issues. Primary condition issue is that most sand traps have no sand in them and are basically hard pan. So you have to ditch the normal explosion style bunker shot and play it more like a chip off of hard surface.

But for the Greens

But for the greens, I would have given this course a 5 star rating. Course layout was excellent, challenging and scenic. Very nice condition; great practice facilities; nice clubhouse and restaurant.

Greens are too tricked our, though. Too much tiering makes for a bit of a mini-golf atmosphere. Be prepared for a lot of three putts and balls that roll off greens.
