Crooked Tree Golf Course, Tucson, AZ

We were paired up on this course with a single guy from Oregon named Seth. Neither of us were familiar with this course and there were no pictures on the scorecard of the hole. The first hole had water and was a dogleg right, which we figured out by watching the people in front of us. The rest of the course was fairly flat and wide open which we enjoyed. The fairways were nice, you just had to stay on them because desert was everywhere else. The greens were very fast which was hard to get used to. There were bathrooms available, no cart girl but there was a turn which was fine for us. The women's tee boxes were a nice advantage for me but they were a little "lumpy" so it was hard to find a flat spot. We enjoyed the course and would golf there again. We didn't eat there because we left right away to drive to our house in San Tan Valley.

Quarry Pines Golf Course, Tucson, AZ

What an interesting course - so glad we did it! https://www.playthepines.com/golf

The starter told us "the first nine are kind of flat, but the back 9, well, I'll let you find out for yourselves". And boy did we ever...the front nine was familiar as all golf courses, fairly flat with not too many hazards, a little sand and a little water. We saw roadrunners and desert quail. Then we made the turn...holy moly what a difference, elevations, mountains, desert to hit over and a lot of walking. We were able to golf us a couple and pace of play was good. We did let some "hitters" go through on the back 9 because it was really tough. There is a turn so I never used the bathrooms which were available on both 9's. There was no cart person and we didn't stay at the grill which only had sandwiches. There was a small outdoor area. We decided to eat at Mountain View Golf Course which is more of a country club so we were able to get a meal in a nice outdoor area. We would golf there again BUT the back 9 was very tiring for us.
