Sadly, Tecolote Canyon ceased operation as of Feb 15 2025 due to city construction work on a 5 mile length of sewer line that runs through the center of the course. Construction is expected to be finished sometime this summer.

City officials are promising to keep the property a golf course but seeing is believing

Late review after a round last Friday, about 7:30 am tee off. Walked from the blue tees with two riders and another walker. Not a quick round but the back nine was faster than the front and we finished in less than 4.5 hours. Snack bar was open when we made the turn.

Late review after a round last Friday, about 7:30 am tee off. Walked from the blue tees with two riders and another walker. Not a quick round but the back nine was faster than the front and we finished in less than 4.5 hours. Snack bar was open when we made the turn.

The course was still wet in places from the rain last Tuesday but much better than when I played in January. For whatever reason there was still a moisture problem from the restroom building next to the 13th tee extending into the fairway, including a buildup of water on the cart path. The fairways were good if a little shaggy for this time of year. The sand traps were lousy, wet mud for the most part. The greens were pretty quick and held shots well. There were some difficult putts out there considering the speed and slope.

The course is playable but playing longer than usual. I would give it a few days to dry out but worth the play considering the cost.

Played 2-15-26 afternoon as a twosome for $35 walking finishing in a little over 4 1/2 hours with no waiting on the first six holes and then waiting for every shot through 18. Tee boxes were thin and bare in some spots and having to search for a level stance on most of them. Fairways were okay with some good coverage mixed in with some thin and bare areas, decent roll out and j... » More

Played 2-15-26 afternoon as a twosome for $35 walking finishing in a little over 4 1/2 hours with no waiting on the first six holes and then waiting for every shot through 18. Tee boxes were thin and bare in some spots and having to search for a level stance on most of them. Fairways were okay with some good coverage mixed in with some thin and bare areas, decent roll out and just okay lies. Rough was not much longer than the fairways and in about the same shape. Bunkers for the most part were not in good condition, some with little sand and hard surfaces, and others with some sand but a lot of small pebbles mixed in, and occasionally some decent sized rocks. Although the greens looked okay they didn't play very well. Slow and bumpy with a lot of unrepaired and poorly repaired pitch marks. Hard to keep a putt on line. I don't play here that often anymore, and every time I come back the course conditions are very disappointing.

Out last Friday the 13th with a foursome, all riding and playing the whites. Not really a walking course for most people and not sure it's even an option. Last time I played here was about a year ago and about 25 yrs before that. Conditions on the day were solid all around. Last time, the greens were unexpectedly punched and sanded while this time around they were fine — runnin... » More

Out last Friday the 13th with a foursome, all riding and playing the whites. Not really a walking course for most people and not sure it's even an option. Last time I played here was about a year ago and about 25 yrs before that. Conditions on the day were solid all around. Last time, the greens were unexpectedly punched and sanded while this time around they were fine — running the quick side of medium and pretty clean.

Minor quips: the cart was a bit sluggish and the range has a touch of sidehill to it. Otherwise, perfect weather, some great views, the pace was good, drink cart came around numerous times. An interesting layout that can require specific placement and course knowledge to best maneuver some of the doglegs.

No reviews for 2 1/2 years so here is a current one.

Played this course once and awhile for 30 years. It has declined. Still playable. However, restaurant is closed. Driving range is closed. Hole 10 went from a par 5 to a par 3.

JC Golf is in charge but I am not sure what they are thinking. Not spending much on the course it appears.

Greens were OK and the fairways were overseeded and OK to play from.

Bunkers were dirt.

I would say that for this time of year, February, it is worth the green fee but when the weather warms up and the tourists leave I would not play there with all of the other courses to play in the area.
