From $15 to $25 a round w/a cart? Also no mention of the price change when we booked a tee time on the phone, so be aware. Too steep a hike imo; inflation ain't up 50%, what a joke

Great course

This could be a nice course if it wasn't for the active Ball Golf course being on top of the disc golf course. I paid $15 bucks to leave after playing four holes. I'm from out of state and thought a 4.4 rating would make for a nice course. I should have been hesitant to pay when the staff asked if we were playing disc golf and had no clue how the layout worked on the course. Hole 1 tee off is a 100ft from a ball golf tee box (essentially playing half of their fairway.) hole 2 you tee off across a ball golf fairway at a dangerous distance for any ball golfers who may not see you or know play through etiquette. Hole 3 plays over a ball golf green as a section of the fairway. Hole 4 pin was directly in between 2 ball golf greens and was he final straw. This was by far the most stressful 4 holes of DG I've ever played. The thoughtless placement of tee boxes and baskets overlapping a very active ball golf course is ludicrous. This felt very dangerous as a disc golfer without a cart because you are playing the golf course in front of and behind Ball golfers who don't see you with clubs and aren't waiting to play through. I left after 4 holes because this felt more nerve racking than fun. Don't recommend if there are ball golfers on the course.

Same wide open tee shot on pretty much every hole, impossible to navigate without Udisc. Good course if you want to throw as far as you can off the tee on almost every hole but severely lacking in variety. Decent course but probably not worth the $10.

It’s a beautiful course with soft pars. I would recommend to people from out of town if they don’t want to fight with our plants.

Playing disc golf alongside ball golfers was a miserable experience that I won’t be trying again. Playing when the course is empty likely would’ve been a more enjoyable experience. The course would benefit from signage at the tees showing yardage as well as at the baskets pointing toward the next tee. As is, navigating the course would be impossible without UDisc.

Fun course on a golf course. Easy par 4s and some long par 3s. Be kind to the golfers and aware of their game they’ll do the same. Tee pads are not good but they suffice. Had to tee from the grass a couple times. Overall a great course.
@nicolasparada
No signage, but nice rubber mats and wide open, long holes. Generous for long drivers, great challenge for shorter drivers.

Showed up to play around 2:45 and the guy in the pro shop looked at us funny and said we can’t play because the ball golfers have a league goin on. But we could have got a round of ball golf… seems lame.

Disc golf on a ball golf course - very fun. Water is only a potential issue on one hole. But lots of OB with cart paths, bunkers and greens. There zero signs on the course for navigation however
@frnknstev3
The more golf Courses open up to the use of disc golf, the more happy I will be. Left half a star for signage, improved Teepads and maybe some cleanup under the trees.
@mattboettcher
this is a nice course if you like big bomber shots. It was a little hard to find the Tee pads. Wish they had some arrows other than that great course with option for cart.
@jjaayy
Few Tee pad issues. #8 pad might trip you or at worst even roll an ankle (very deceiving). #4 tee pad is always has a bit of debris and is rather wavy (however, it’s easy to spot the imperfections as opposed to #8 pad). #14 tee pad is deteriorating. #11 has huge mounds of tree trimmings and a rolloff on left side. Course is otherwise best Tucson has to offer imo.
@redhammer1
The pads need to be keep clean and next tee pad need to be better marked.
@jnlmda6
Tee pads need filling in underneath dirt is getting lumpy , course changes are cool I guess a ball golf course in a DG course is cool….

Beautiful course. Established trees and unique shots.
