I’m down in the Tucson area of Vail for my wife’s work trip and played Del Lago this morning. It was a bit of a chore to get to the course with crazy road paving going on and my GPS directing me wrong but made it in time. I was supposed to tee of at 910 with a twosome but they left early. Another foursome let me play through so I pretty much had the course to myself. A few groups teeing off behind me but I didn’t catch anyone until the last couple of holes.
Nice facilities on the range with plenty of space to hit from. Course conditions overall were a little rough around the edges. The course could use some maintenance on the cart paths. They are super rough. Basic golf carts with no GPS so it was a learning experience with the first time playing the course.
The fairways were in good shape as were the greens. Sand traps were a mixed bag. Dormant rough with not much of a penalty hitting it there.
A nice play right now and I’m glad I got to enjoy the course.
I enjoyed the course itself. I thought it was fun with a good variety of holes. Water comes into play on a few holes. Strategy and being able to hit your ball where you want is a must. I wouldn’t call it target desert golf but anything off the fairways is in the desert.
