Mostly Kikuyu rough maintained low with mostly good coverage. Beside and behind the greens the rough is lusher/taller. DO NOT short side yourself here! Many hard pan areas farther off the fairways.

Few sand traps on this course, but those observed were well maintained with good quality sand.

Smallish, old school poa greens were mostly firm but held approach shots very well. Putted medium speed and were relatively smooth even late afternoon. Most slope back to front and fall off to at least one side. No tiers on these greens, but down hillers are to be avoided on these greens.

Customer service excellent, friendly Marshall and Starter. Small driving range and a busy restaurant onsite. Never any on course services here. Fun course, Recommended.

Basic carts do not have GPS. Recommended.

Nice Fazio layout that is very spread out. Depending on your tee choice, many tee shots hitting over Desertscape. The course plays shorter than the listed yardage because of the elevation and the firmness IMO. Recommended.

Rode the Golds (6625/71.0/141) on the Canyon/Ridge combo early afternoon with UNCLEDDBOY23. Thanks much to Dave for setting up the round! Monsoon season in Tucson, weather started overcast and we were rained on the last 2 holes. Muggy and around 100, we played @ our own pace and were not held up or pressed from behind.

Nicklaus Signature Course, desert target golf on steroids. Huge mounds around many greens. Most holes feature a forced carry over Desertscape. Few holes have any real bailouts. If you missed the fairway more than a few yards left or right, your ball was usually gone. On this course, with all the trouble barely outside the rough line, low rough is a detriment. Longer rough would catch balls that bounced into the cacti.


Bermuda tees thin in spots with few bad divot areas. No challenges finding a level stance.

Bermuda fairways were thin in spots but okay to play from.

Bermuda rough had some hardpan areas and was maintained at a decent POP level. Usually nice to play from.

Sand traps were EXCELLENT! Generous amount of thick, good quality sand.

Large, raised Bermuda greens putted nicely. Firm, smooth, medium speed, with few ball marks. The 141 slope from the next to back set of tees is partially due to the tightness of the layout, but also because of the green complexes. Undulations and tiers to navigate on many greens.

Course was very playable, but the conditions were a step down from my last visit here. Customer service was exceptional. Nice, all grass driving range includes range balls. Only negative is that the basic carts do not have GPS. No Drink Cart today. Many tees are a long ways from the last green, not really a walkable course. Very penal layout, recommended with that knowledge going in.
