Rode the Whites (6610/71.4/128) in slightly over 3H mid day as a single. The weather was clear, fairly calm and in the low 100's. COVID-19: Doodles in the cups and no rakes in the traps. But very relaxed overall compared to Southern California courses where I usually play. Bruce Devlin teamed with Robert Van Hagge as co designer of this layout that has hosted dozens of PGA and Sr. PGA events over past 50 years. Rare par 73 with five par 5's, four par 3's and nine par 4's. Liked the traditional parkland style layout. Holes that stood out were #18, an excellent demanding par 4 finishing hole with water left, right and long on your tee shot, then a uphill approach shot to an elevated green. #11 was a unique par 5 that was barely 500 yards but was a true 3 shot par 5 for most because you had to lay up short of/go around a lake, then go over the lake to set up your uphill approach. I hit three irons on this hole because of the location of the lake and the way it jutted out into the fairway. I was told the course was not in great shape and was getting ready to close tomorrow for maintenance. Wanted to play it anyway as this was going to be my only opportunity this trip. Greens, tees and some of the rough had recently been aerated. Kudos to the pro shop staff for full disclosure on the conditions ahead of time. Bermuda tees, fairways and rough were all semi lush with some browned out areas. Mostly good. Sand traps had good quality sand could have been excellent if they had been raked today. Bermuda greens were as advertised unfortunately. Bumpy and medium slow, they were at least a week from being fully healed. Positive was that they were not firm. I had numerous irons stop right at their ball mark or back up. Unfortunately wasted a rare 9/10 (by my standards) ball striking day trying to convert putts that were bumpier and slower than most courses fringes. All grass range included in your fee. Complementary bottled water. Friendly starter and saw the cart gal twice. Really look forward to coming back and playing here again when the course is in better playing shape, because the layout is fun. Recommended.

We played the Catalina Course at the Omni Tucson National on Saturday 02/10/18 for The Bridge the Gap Charity Golf Tourney. What a great time we had. I’m not sure that I’ve played on a finer maintained course! The course itself was quite challenging, with some rolling and various width fairways, water on several holes, elevation changes and undulating greens. It plays well to it’s slope. For the conditions, the fairways were literally like carpet! The greens were well manicured. The only negative I could take away from the whole experience was that the bunkers were too wet, but since we were playing a best ball tourney, we never actually got to hit out of it!??.

We had such fun that we will be planning a return trip soon! It’s not a cheap course, but I feel it is definitely worth your attention if you find yourself in Tucson!!

Golf course was immaculate. Absolutely one of the best I have played in the past two years, and I play a lot of golf. Would love to go back and play it several more times. The greens were perfect, and the speed was fast. Bunkers were perfectly raked. Fairways were super. It's well worth the price to play. Staff was very friendly and catered to every need.

Played March 12. Very nice old style course. A nice break from the desert courses. Good to be able to read the greens and make a put after playing Arizona National. Playing conditions were very good, several well designed holes. Lots of room to let the driver loose. Bet the pros tore this place up.

Played 4/30 at 1:30.; finished in 5 hrs. This a is a deceiving course as it is more difficult then it looks. The greens were very tricky.
