Getting better

Played as a twosome with my buddy. It was a hot day but got out a little early and finished in 3 hr and 50min. Last played here about 3 years ago and was in tough shape, took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Greens were in great shape and ran well. Fairways also were good. Starters and staff were courteous and helpful. Layout is moderate and really to gimmicky holes. Nice to see this course returning to its former glory.

Must play in Tucson

Played as a single but paired with a twosome and another single. Company was friendly which only added to the experience. Played the Rattler/Roadrunner and course was in beautiful condition with greens running quite fast. I try to play this course when in the area but always smart to carry a few more balls than usual as losing some can be quite easy at times. At end of round also got treated with seeing Coyote passing through the fairway behind us on the 18th green. Definitely will be back, to all staff keep up the good work.

A one time must play

A wonderful course with many challenges within. A course to play from the appropriate tees or you can pay the price. Course was in excellent shape but on back nine cart path only due to over seeding. The greens as all provide major undulations and don't be surprised by an occasional three putt!! The beautiful course lay out and views more than make up for this. A must play at least 1 time.

Hidden Gem

I booked this round as a single, the front nine played in 1.5 hrs and the course was in exceptional conditions compared to others played this year. Fairways and greens receptive yet somewhat quick. Paired up with a couple on back nine that are new to area so enjoyed the conversation with them. After about 5 holes weather storm moved in and horn blew ending the round. This course was an exceptional value and will definitely play again later in year so I hope they can keep the course conditions until then.

Straight shots required

This course offers challenges to all skill levels. Straight shots are a premium as some fairways are narrow as well as lined with bunkers. Being my first time playing took a few holes to get used to how the greens broke. This course offers golf in the heart of the city and while playing you sometimes forget that. Enjoyed the views that where offered on several holes and recommend this course in you have the opportunity.

Beutiful fall day

Groomed course hidden away from metro area. The greens were extremely fast and rolled nice. Played as single and 5some in front of me let me play through on 3rd hole, I finished round in under 2 hrs. Fairways offer plenty of landing area so with it being fall they're a premium with all the leaves in the rough. This is definitely a hidden gem and worth at least playing once for all levels of golfers.

Great way to end out the year

Played course for 1st time. Paired up with another single and twosome which proved helpful getting from green to tee. Several holes with blind tee shots but advice given extremely helpful. The course was in great shape and back 9 a lot more hilly than expected. Played from middle tees so driver isn't always necessary. If get a chance to play this private course it is definitely worth getting out.

Apprehension to Delight

Arrived and greeted by friendly Staff. As a single the Pro Shop staff even got me out 35 minutes earlier. Was paired up withe a 2some which helped tremendously as they had played the course before and I had not. The course was in excellent condition but will say the greens were fast as lightning and alot of undulation. I experienced a relaxed and very enjoyable round with no sense of a country club attitude from anyone as other review posted. Even seen a rattlesnake pointed out by one of the golfers. Definately recomend this course but fairways are a primium and somewhat narrow. Only con was didn't see a beverage cart on the course and this was a Sunday 12:10 tee-time???

Challenging Course

Practice your bunker shots on the practice range as your bound to find at least 1 bunker on this course. The course was wonderfully maintained and offered challenges for all skill levels. Also has significant water on several holes. Use course management on this course and your score may improve, don't be afraid to lay up to have shorter more manageable chip shots. The greens on our day were extemely fast. Course was fun to play and worth the value.

The course offers challenges for everyone

Arrived as a single and paired up with another single. Proved good company and since I hadn't played the course he offered tips and hole features. The course is narrow fairwayed and precision can be a premium as rough is thick. The back nine will challenge even the long hitters as some long par 4's. The greens are true and fast and many offer lots of undulation. Tee to green the course is in fabulous shape and definately worth the drive to play it at least 1 time. If this course was in metro would be highly sought after because of course conditions.

Looking for better experience.

Received a great price for this round. However, with it being a saturday afternoon in the high 70's was disappointed that there was no beverage cart to be found. I played as a single which was appreciated and with no marshal pace of play was slow at best. Course was in decent shape and several holes offered challenging shots and reward those who can hit it straight. Course meanders through mature trees. A hefty jaunt from the metro area to play, nicer courses closer to home for same value.

The course was in average condition as nearing towards end of the season. Pace of play was decent with a frost delay at start of round.

A relatively good paced round. With it being late october its usually golf enthusiasts out this late in the year, which, suprises me as the unwillingness to fix divot marks on the greens. I played as a single and matched up with a twosome who were both outgoing and pleasant to golf with. Course conditions decent and golfnow price made this a worthwhile round. Hopefully not the last round of the season for us.

This course provides challenges but valid oppurtunities.

First time golfing this course and early season so unsure what to expect. Was happy to see good conditions and shape of course this early. Provides challenges for you but also gives ample opportunities to score. Good course and will definately play again in mid season.

Overall this course provides challenges for all levels and great course conditions.

I played this course on thursday afternoon with friend. Arrived and staff met us to assist with any help and information. As we began our round there was no wait on the tee which allowed us to play at a good pace. Course condition was excellent from tee to green. Greens where fast but not ridiculous. You didn't need to be a long hitter to still have opportunities to score. Would recommend this course for all to play.

Overall good conditions and enjoyable round.

Started round with me and buddy being paired up with 2-some. They turned out to be enjoyable to play with and share a round of golf with. The course conditions were well maintained with some nice views. Front nine played pretty open and then into quarry on back nine. Target golf and smart play needed on some of the holes. Also got to see large gopher snake going across tee box on 15th hole. 1st time playing this course and will definately want to return next trip down.

Slower round than expected, possibly due to no ranger around on the course even though on a Sunday.

Condition wise the course in decent shape. However the over 5 hour round tends to detract from making it more of an enjoyable experience. This course provides ample opportunity to lose golf balls if not hitting it straight.

Overall experience was very enjoyable. Recommending this course to others who have never played before expect to play in some windy conditions.

Try to get to the course early to not only hit some balls on the range but this course also has a 3-hole practice loop to play as a warm up to your round. Offers an excellent expectation as to what course conditions will be, which where for me excellent from tee to green.
