"Today was the second time my brother and I played this course and we both rate it outstanding. This course offers it all - well maintained tee boxes (many are elevated and require you to hit over hazards or through narrow windows), fairways and greens (good sized with slight undulations); challenging tee shots, some hazards; and the best views (along with Lookout Mountain in Phoenix) of any of the Arizona courses I have played. Highly recommended if you're in the Tucson area."
"Like San Ignacio Golf Club in Green Valley, Quarry Pines offers well maintained surfaces (tee boxes, fairways and greens), great views, elevated tees, some challenging holes with narrow fairways, and most intriguingly, presents a great value at $60 a round. The only negatives are the clubhouse is really more like a snack bar - not so great - and the day we played - Saturday, April 23rd - the beverage cart attendant seemed to have an attitude, wasn't friendly at all and didn't seem all that interested in asking if we desired refreshments on the two occasions she passed our group. The negatives aside, it's a course I highly recommend if you're in the area and one I plan to play again ... I'll just be sure to bring my own cold Gatorade and not worry about cart service."
"This is an absolutely breath-taking course, and one of the most-favorite course I've gotten to play. I came down for a scramble tournament which allowed me to play/try a lot of fun shots around the course thanks to mine & my playing partners. I think the trickiest thing overall was finding the pro shop/parking lot since there aren't a lot of big signs around the grounds which point you to them. I had to rent clubs and for $50 got to play with brand-new ladies Calloways, and inside it contained a cute bag of Calloway tees& balls. I kept wishing I could've taken those clubs home, it really was something magical to kill a ball straight down the fairway ~200 yards!The course is tricky, and in a lot of 2nd-hit spots it's hard to see the green (unless playing a par 3). The wind was atrocious the day of our tournament, so it really felt like a PGA course with all the fixins. Thankfully though the carts are fairly intelligent with the play suggestions. If you go too off-course with them, it will literally shut down, speaking from experience. I would love to come back & play Sewaillo again, maybe straight-up without the scramble style tourney."
"After only one round, this course is already among my favorites. All the surfaces - tee boxes, fairways and greens - are very well maintained; the fairways are nicely contoured; the sand traps, desert scrub and water on a couple holes present some good challenges; and there are great views of downtown Tucson and the Tortolita Mountains. Highly recommended."
"Went and did a real round today for the first time, I kust say it was a lot of fun and the course is pretty good for our standards in Tucson. The greens are super fast so you have to plan on that, but all in all, given the chance I will be back. If you are a golf snob and need the best of the best to make yourself feel better, then dtay away. But if you are just there to have fun, enjoy the time, it's a good place to go for sure."
"Great golf course, managed to lose my range finder while out on the course. I called a few days later and recovered my range finder! Awesome staff! Thank you!"
"A solid 4.5 stars, just missing 5 stars. The "Views" is absolutely accurate as this course provides terrific views of the nearby Catalina Mountains. All of the surfaces - tee boxes, fairways and greens - were in terrific shape. While there are some ponds around the course, none really present a hazard, but simply add to course's aesthetics. Similar story with the bunkers. While there are a few around most greens, they are not significant hazards. Each staff member we encountered was helpful and enthusiastic. The $47 green fee represents a great value for the experience. Highly recommended if you're looking to play a round in the Oro Valley area."

The restaurant and bar in the Arizona National Golf Club, dubbed the 19th Hole, wears many hats. They serve breakfast and lunch daily and a Sunday brunch to golfers, golf club members, Sabino Springs residents, and the public. Two evenings a week, the restaurant is open for dinner. Wednesdays are usually themed and casual: burgers, enchiladas, pasta. Friday nights are fancier. Tonight was prime rib.Mouthwatering aromas greeted us as we entered the lobby. Good sign. We were seated, ordered drinks, and then made our way to the buffet, where the restaurant manager carved the prime rib and roast pork. There was straight horseradish, horseradish cream, and au jus for the meat. That beef was succulent: My medium-rare slice was juicy and flavorful; the hub said his medium well was also perfection. The crispy well-browned and seasoned potatoes were delicious, and I loved the sautéed zucchini, onions, and mushrooms. House-made sourdough bread was a perfect accompaniment. I took an end chunk because I love fresh, chewy bread. Pineapple upside-down cake topped with real whipped cream completed the meal. The cake was really moist and not too sweet, but I was so full the hub happily finished mine. Dinner was worth every penny of the $30 each tab. And the view was the icing on the cake, so to speak.The grill, open to the public, is on Snyder, between Harrison and Houghton. Worth the drive!

Really great views and stunning elevation changes on the back 9. Course seems to cut some cost of the green fee by not maintaining each blade of grass like Ventana Canyon or another ridiculously priced course.Course is tough, be ready for target golf! Food was very good at the restaurant, but the pro shop is very minimal.

A thoroughly enjoyable golf course which is very well maintained. A nice mix of hazards wide fairways and challenging greens. Also, there are some beautiful views as you make your way around the 18 holes. Combine all that with a very friendly staff and it's worthy of multiple return trips.

Very nice location. Beautiful view of the mountains. Food was good and so was the service. Especially enjoyed the bacon. Cooked to perfection. I was disappointed to see that they removed the southwest decor. The remodel is beautiful but Too contemporary modern for me.

A great experience on a very well maintained desert course. The tee boxes, fairways - narrow and challenging - and greens were in great shape. I had heard it was a good, tough course and it lived up to the billing. I will definitely play this course again.

This is a short course and it is currently in excellent shape. From fairways to greens the place looks great. Sand traps are more like dirt traps so stay out!Summer time has some great deals. Staff is very friendly. The course might be short, but has great challenges, you will have a great time at this golf course

Great golf course, the greens and fairways are well maintained. It is not a difficult course but it has it challenges. I found the staff very helpful and friendly. The girls on the drink cart were not push, just smiled an asked if we needed anything then went on their way. I look forward to playing their again

I would rate it a 3.5 if I could. Positives include rolling fairways, undulating greens - which were interesting- and some great views. Negatives include some greens that were in poor shape and the $69 Green fee is a little pricey.

"The customer service we received yesterday in the pro shop was STELLAR! We unknowingly messed up our booking on GolfNow and they could've very easily turned us away...it was our fault. Instead, they immediately said don't worry about it and they'd take care of it! We were quite surprised and pleased, to say the least!!Throughout our round on this beautiful course hubby and I kept saying how impressive that was, even saying they might've just sold us a house (in the future, we're not ready to retire just yet)!!Customer service goes a long way, folks, and you never know in what way it'll come back to you!"
"My brother, a friend and I played the 9-hole Saguaro and Wild Burro courses. Situated in the High Sonoran Desert, with great views of the surrounding Tortolita Mountain Range, this course designed by Jack Nicklaus offers plenty of challenges including some water, a handful of narrow fairways, lots of sand traps and undulating greens. Other than a couple greens on the Saguaro course which were in poor shape, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were in very good shape, particularly considering how dry Tucson has been over the last couple months. I look forward to the next round at this very good course."
"Great place to golf in tucson. Especially since it is I'm midtown tucson. Greens are well maintained and also the fairways. Prices are good and they are very accommodating. Quick to help and get you out on the course."
"Among the better courses my brother and I have played in Tucson. The course is pretty straight forward; a fairly traditional layout with well maintained, wide fairways and small greens. The day we played the pace of play was on the slower side but not too bad."
"I played 18 holes here with my buddy on an early Saturday morning. I loved this course! The reason I liked it was because it was very open and I could salvage most of my bad shots. This course is great for beginners. The reason I am giving it 4 stars is because I didn't really like the way they organize the tee times. Also my friend and I had a buy one get one free and it was not buy one get one free. They did something weird with the prices, other that it was great!"
"My brother and I played Tubac Golf Club - another golf course in the area - two weeks ago and it was a good experience due to some good views and well maintained tee boxes, fairways and greens. The only negative was the cost ($110) for the round. Like Tubac, San Ignacio offers some terrific views and well maintained surfaces. At $44 for the round, it presents a much better value. Highly recommended if you're in the Southern Tucson, Green Valley, Tubac area."
"This is the only local course. Not a bad course! We tee'd off just before 9AM...it appeared to have been watered early this morning...overwatered to be exact. The cart path was really muddy and there were lots of places on the fairways that were soggy. But where the course was dry it was pretty good. There was a drink cart cruising around...the bloodymaries were good! No objections to playing this course again."
"When visiting my parents in sunny, Green Valley I am always fortunate enough to spend a couple days going to the local golf courses and playing some rounds at the local joints. That being said I have been to the majority of courses all over Southern Arizona multiple times. Torres Blancas is one of these courses I have played on occasion.As for golf reviews they can be very subjective so if you like to golf and if this course is close go ahead and enjoy it. I for one look for 3 major things for me to really enjoy a course, one the fairway and green conditions: At Torres Blancas they were somewhat spotty at best, for $50 I expect some pretty nice conditions, since the average price around the area is $30-40 on Golf Now. Now I'm not saying the conditions were intolerable, they definitely could use some improvement. (Of the 5 courses I played this week, this was by far the worst.) Next I look at the views: Torres Blancas has some beautiful views of the mountains as seen in my pictures I posted and it has a fairly nice layout for the area of land it has to work with. Lastly, I look at the ease of play: They had 5 different tee boxes, women get a sizable break and there is a starter and ranger keeping the play around 4 hours which is always nice. Overall I give this course a solid 3 stars maybe closer to 3.5. It was fun, but I definitely enjoy other's better. I recommend if you can find a deal go here and enjoy it otherwise take a look around and you may find something better. Plenty of options and plenty of golf to be played!"
"With very well maintained surfaces (tee boxes, fairways and greens), good views, nicely contoured fairways, some reasonably challenging bunkers and other hazards, Saddlebrook Ranch provides a very good experience. Throw in some tasty hot dogs at Ed's Dogs between the 9th and 10th holes; and a very friendly staff and you've got a winner. My brother and I agree that it's a course we will play again. Highly recommended."
