Del Lago Golf Club, Vail

Look closely for embedded golf balls!

More water on this course than most we have played.

Pat and I. 
 Del Lago Golf Club is only 15 minutes from here, in Vail, which is just on the edge of Tucson.  I thought Quarry Pines was a great course but this one is amazing as well.  It is in excellent condition and the views of course are magnificent.  I played well for a change too.  The saguaro cactus here was just off to the left of one tee and several misfired tee shots were stuck in it!  I wanted to do it on purpose and maybe others did too but I refrained.
The beautiful 18th and clubhouse.  




We paid $30 with a cart which is an incredible price for this quality of course.  John uses EZ Links to book tee times on line.  Even though  times and prices are are a little harder to find than before Christmas we are still managing!











We have enjoyed the company of Pat and Derryl from Southampton Ontario.  Yes, they are mutual friends of our Southampton gang we met in Florida.  They are renting a house in Quail Creek, a beautiful 55 + community in Green Valley,  just south of Tucson.  If any of you are considering renting a place in AZ check it out.  Just google it.









The brown grass is winter dormant but still easy to hit off.  It gives great definition to the fairways.   I wonder what it looks like in the summer?
