rio rico golf course, Oct 07, 2005

reviewer: mac kelly from rio rico az

i recently (oct 05) played this course and found it in only fair condition. the fairways and rough were uncut and the bunkers had grass growing everywhere and looked as if they were not raked for days.the staff did little to make this a positive experience.

Dissapointing, Apr 26, 2004

reviewer: Perry D from Meadville, PA USA

On a recent trip to Tucson, we set up tee times at 3 different courses on ezlinks.com. We got discounted rates at Arizona National & Rio Rico, while paying the full price for Tha Golf Club at Vistoso. Arizona National and Vistoso exceeded our expectations of quality desert golf courses. Rio Rico, on the other hand, fell far below our expectations. The course conditions were okay, but this is far from being a desert course, and the surrounding views are marginal when compared with the other courses. There were no directional signs, and there was nobody around to help us find the pro-shop entrance. As we were looking around, obviously not sure where to go, the Pro walked right past us without offering any assistance, or at least a courtesy "hello". We checked in, and were given no instructions as to where the practice facilities were or if we were paired with anyone else. We ran into another player who was driving around aimlessly trying to find the range. It was just totally poor quality service, and certainly nothing like the "4 diamond resort" it is advertised as on the internet.

Kis-N-Greens Golf Course
"Update"
The course has been expanded to 18 holes, par 72. The fairways are improved over the condition that they were in a year ago. Some greens have been expanded, with more to follow. 400 trees have been added to the course as of 2003. The trees are small but will help distinguish fairways from rough. Water comes into play on 6 holes. No sand, and the tee boxes need work (leveling) maybe some irragation on the fairways (more ponds needed). Overall, satisfied with course, wind makes it more difficult than it looks, and greens are deceiving.

Mountain Valley Golf Course - Maple/Oak Course
"hidden gem"
Course was originally 18 but 9 new holes were added in the last few years. The three nines, oak, pine, and maple are all challenging with tight tree lined fairways with generous sized greens with a fair bit of undulation. Huge elevation changes on some holes offer great views of the surrounding PA countryside. Although not the longest course, although some holes are quite long it is easily the most difficult in the region due to the tightness and difficult putting greens. The greens are always in great condition so the difficulty I have with putting is assuredly not the course, It's all mine. Great value too, and a friendly and helpful staff makes these three nine hole courses a must when in the area.

Clear Creek Golf Club
"Best Par 3 Course Ever"
It really makes you work on your short game. If you need help with your wedges this is the place to be. There are some really long par 3 holes up to 200 yards. It is deep in the woods and has some narrow fairways. I give it 5 stars for being challenging and fun.

Plum Hollow Country Club
"Plum a plum"
If you like a rollicking round of golf, Plum is the place for you. The par 3's each have a distinctive personality unto themselves, one apart from the other. They are like chapters in a delicious novel that unravels step by step in front of your very eyes. The par 4's all present daunting challenges for maintaining a par round, owing to clever fairway bunkering or something not seen in the approach that becomes clear only upon reaching the putting surface. The par 5's are spectacular, culminating in a finishing crescendo in holes 17 and 18. With any kind of match coming to a conclusion -- a five dollar nassau or a challenge match with the wife -- anything can happen on these last two holes...and usually does!!! The round is made complete by the singular service inside the locker room by the most respected club house attendant in the state of Michigan, Chewy.
