Del Lago Golf Club

Del Lago Golf Club is Tucson’s newest and brightest star. Opened in late 2000, the golf course is quickly gaining a prominent position among the better-known courses in the area. A little different from many desert courses, del Lago plays like more of a combination of links and desert golf, featuring wide sweeping fairways that drift off into the surrounding valleys and arroyos, and lead you to oversized greens that often require a traditional bump and run shot. Each nine offers either one of the many lakes that dot the course, or threads through well-placed bunkers that are waiting to catch the slightest mistake in approach shots. The golf course will require every club in the golfer's bag and a good supply of nerves on slick, undulating greens.

Perceived to be far out of town, del Lago is really not, even though those who know about it would just as soon not tell you that. A short drive east from Tucson on I-10 to the Vail Road exit and you’re playing golf in just a few minutes. Future plans call for an elegant clubhouse and some exclusive home sites on the hills looking over the golf course. The time to play del Lago is now, for very soon you may have to wait in line as the popularity of this magnificent golf course grows.
