Improving Course Conditions

Fairways and greens have improved greatly since my last visit. Tee boxes are average condition, but OK. Greens, although much better, had two variants of grass (?) which made speed a question plus some bumpy runs. Main disappointment with the course is the bunkers being in terrible condition. And good luck if you get in a bunker encountering the mud, weeds, hardpan, etc.
Bottom line...course is and has improved.

First Time Playing

First time, last time

Course is in bad shape. Bunkers are completely ignored here. More weeds than sand. Tee boxes are kinda green in spots. Greens were fair condition. Layout was awesome. Somebody gave this course some thought...and hasn't thought of it since! $45 with cart...okay to work on your tee shots and putting. Anything not right in middle of fairway, after clearing the 80-100 yards of dirt/dried mud is not an option. Kick it to the middle and hit away. There is no rough on this course. Dirt and rock only, with some weeds thrown in for good measure. All the pictures on GN are either photoshopped or taken 25 years ago. There are no holes along the river. TOTAL bait-and-switch! Just ignore the smell as the course is built around the Benson waste water treatment plant. Staff in proshop and bar were very nice, bev cart came around 4 time during the round, that was just right. Out and back 18 holes, so no "turn". Pace was 4.5. Won't be stopping on the way through again.

Great to work on your tee shots and your putting touch.

Course is in really, really sad shape. The greens are green. Most of them have a little bit of weeds sprouting going on on the greens, doesn't really affect the roll. They are pretty quick. Of course being dry they roll that way already. Tee boxes are shaky at best. . Layout is great, variety and elevation change, especially back nine. Ignore the photos on Golf Now, that is called bait and switch. Besides being wrapped around Benson's waste water treatment plant...smell should be worth 3 strokes! If you get 6" off the fairway...nope, not gonna ruin a club on that noise. Bad!! More dirt/dried mud than grass. But played for $45 which inclded the cart. OK. No gps, wouldn't expect it for the price. Would not stop here again for the golf. Guy in Proshop, he was a really cordial guy, gave us a hole by hole playsheet. Gals working the restaurant/bar, Awesome. Had a beverage cart, saw her 4 times! Another positive. That is all.

We have played this course many times but not since Troon has taken over management. It was always in adequate condition and certainly good value since the layout is interesting and challenging enough. This time we paid twice as much as for any previous round and did so with the expectation that the new management improved conditions. The opposite is true. The greens are dotted with a weed infestation and in some cases there are obvious erosion issues. The sand traps have been completely abandoned! They have been left to overgrow with no sign that they are anything but an abandoned bunker. The revetted bunker on the 17th hole that was once a feature is gone but at least the there seems to have been some effort to contour the once steep sides. However, any shot to that side bounces the ball into the desert across the cart path. It is not worth the drive from Tucson to Benson. The course now looks like green strips in an abandoned sand pit. Any offline shot runs a very long way on the hard pan and into the desert landscape. A pity since it has a good bones and could make a for a fun round.

Not worth the drive from tucson

The fairways are green and good to hit off of, rest of the course…. Not so much. Bunkers are makeshift Scottish style grass bunkers that are mostly compact dirt. Most greens are damaged and growing sprouts. Layout of the course is great but the conditions are not worth the price. Save the gas and play one of the city courses in Tucson.

The Pedro

Always love playing there even though it is an hour drive. Love to putt the bent grass greens. I do not know how to get rid of the Poa annua in the greens, but hope the course superintendent can do something. The views are stunning and love the 2 Scottish Links holes

Slow play

Followed 3 RV pros so slow 3 players quit
I quit after 16
Second time in a row I had to quit due to slow play
It’s difficult to watch and when they are behind they don’t try to pick up the pace
When you’re a hole behind please PICK IT UP
LOOKING FOR BALLS, practice swings, plumb bobbing, not being ready to Play!
When you get to tee and no one is ahead of you that’s a clue.

Pace of play

With so few golfers on the course it should not have been over 4 hours to play. No marshal to move along the one slow foursome who were on pace for five hours — not out of arrogance but ignorance. They were nice enough guys but were clueless when it game to golf courtesy and course awareness. That’s on the management. Before sending any group to the first tee, you must remind them about pace of play. If you lose sight of the group ahead, focus on catching up, and if you can’t, wave through the golfers waiting behind you. Simple advice but the pro shop never gives it - not just here but almost anywhere. Bad culture. Fix it. Thanks. -Tony
