I had not played here in a while and was really looking forward to it. They had done some maintenance (aeration) about three weeks earlier and the fairways had recovered well. Not even noticeable other than the understandable 90 degree rule helping with recovery. I was very disappointed in the condition of the greens. They also had recovered well from aeration though a little slow but this was also understandable.
The problem was that other than about 5 of the greens that were actually green all over they obviously need to be redone. Some were completely brown/dirt and the ones that had intermittent patches of green were actually more difficult to putt. We were very close to a "within a club length it's good rule". Other than that layout, views, wildlife, employees and fairways were great. A heads up on the green conditions would have been nice. Really a shame.

Played here last Saturday on a buddies trip to Tucson.

I've played here before and this course is definitely on my top 20 all time favorite course. I absolutely love this course and it is a blast to play. It is inside a nature preserve so the wildlife and backdrop is second to none. It starts out in a neighborhood but then swing way out into the reserve. Every single hole here is different and unique from any holes you will play anywhere. There is not one straightaway basic hole. Huge elevation changes, forced carries on approaches, super elevated greens. Massive bunker complexes, risk reward holes you name it. The opening 2 par three feature massive elevation drops and are fun holes to play.

Currently they had done maintenance and the course was kind of a train wreck. The fairways are plain awful and you have to play winter rules. The first few greens are terrible and difficult to putt on. They do get better later on though. Lots of dirt surrounding the greens. We did play for $12 and I had an absolute blast playing here as I always do. But the course is in bad to awful shape at the moment.

Played in March. Very challenging desert course north of Tucson. Part of huge development that stopped building during recession, cleared lots on many holes. Great views with out houses. Very good layout with great variety of holes, worth the trip. And yes, it is windy. It's between Catalina and Dove Mountains, the wind is channeled between them.
