del Lago Golf Club
Vail, Arizona 85641
Pima County
A little different from many desert courses, del Lago Golf Club 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.
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

- I found Del Lago a pleasant challenge from the traditional Tucson courses. The course design ranges from desert to links type golf. The many lakes and assorted terrain makes the course a good challenge for the mid to low handicap golfers. I found the conditions excellent and a great value for the Tucson area.
Tee boxes were well marked, level, and in great shape. Fairways and greens near perfect as well. Challenging bunkers abound and sand was soft (I know first hand), greens are crazy hard, views are incredible. Carts were in great condition. Look forward to playing del Lago again!
