Additional Info:
Del Lago is located very close to Tucson, Arizona, about 20 minutes away from the city center via I-10.
<br>
<br>The course winds its way through the hills and valleys of the high desert, with spectacular and unique views of the backside of the Rincon Mountains and the Santa Catalinas. Except for the 1st hole, which has the course's only forced carry, Del Lago is golfer-friendly off the tees. Let the more skilled players play the back tees, which at 7,206 yards, carry a rating of 73.9 and a slope of 135. Par is 72.
<br>With 120 feet of elevation change, the club's 1st hole begins at the highest point, then plays down into the valley, coming to the back nine, which runs along the Pantano Wash.
<br>
<br>The greens are Tif Eagle, a Bermuda hybrid, while the fairways are Bermuda in the summer and over seeded rye in the winter. Seven lakes at Del Lago come into play on six holes, affecting a variety of shots: some drives, several approaches - just enough to put a little spice into the round. Strong bunkering around the greens adds to the challenge. It all ends with a tough uphill par-4, 421-yard finishing hole that has water in play for two shots.
<br>
<br>The clubhouse includes a full-service pro shop and bar & grill, and green fees are also golfer-friendly, considering the quality of the course. Del Lago has one of the biggest - if not the biggest - practice facilities in the area, including a driving range, a practice bunker, and a 12,000 square foot practice green.
<br>
<br>Tucson golfers greatly appreciate the natural beauty of a high course that rests at an elevation of 3,400 feet - five degrees cooler than Tucson during the summer.

Do not play this place on a windy day. Other than that it is fantastic value for the rates asked. Course was in good condition and greens were in great shape. The ball really carries here and a surprising amount of water for this style of course. Excellent range facility. Course is much easier to get to than you might think. Well worth the effort. Customer Service:
Very good. Need to add cups to the carts. Similar Courses Played:

My favorite "value" course in Southern Arizona. Interesting, varied layout, beautiful views, conditions are usually adequate to good, this course has a lot of appeal. I especially like how a number of the holes wind their way through desert canyons- very unique. For the price, especially if you can find a "special" on the net, it's a great deal. I find the water holes a little strange in the middle of the desert, but they do add some interest to the round. The course tends to get less play as it is a little off the beaten track. The practice facilities are also top notch. It's a must play if you are in the area. Customer Service:
Very good, polite staff on the whole. Similar Courses Played:
Most courses in Southern Arizona. I'm also fond of Ventana Canyon (though not the super-inflated price), Del Lago is great for a Muni, AZ National.
