Del Lago Golf Club

About Del Lago Golf Club

This public track in Vail offers desert golf without the premium pricing you'll find at Scottsdale's marquee courses. The layout takes advantage of the natural Sonoran Desert terrain, weaving between saguaro cacti and desert washes that come into play on several holes. While the conditioning can be inconsistent depending on the season, the course provides legitimate strategic challenges with well-placed bunkers and elevated greens that reward accurate approach shots. The real appeal here is the value proposition. You're getting authentic Arizona desert golf at municipal prices, and the fact that walking is permitted makes it even more attractive for purists who prefer to experience the course on foot. The 3.8 rating reflects what you'd expect: solid bones with occasional maintenance issues, but nothing that detracts from an enjoyable round. If you're looking to play multiple courses during a Tucson-area golf trip without breaking the bank, Del Lago deserves consideration as your "value round" that still delivers the desert golf experience.
