Rode the Ruby tees (6825/71.2/133) in 4H, 15M twilight with Felix and Adam. Locals who play here alot and were great to be matched up with. Sunny, breezy and in the mid 90's. $59 twilight Sunday was good value for this course. U of A home course, also hosting the Ladies Symetra Tour this coming week. Really enjoyed the layout that was in excellent overall condition. It has taken me several years while visiting my daughter and son-in-law to make it around to most of the Tucson area public courses. IMO Sewailo ranks #3 behind the two Ventana Canyon courses and ahead of several other well known courses that have hosted the PGA, Champions or LPGA Tours. A few tight shots, but most holes have wide fairways with huge greens surrounded by lots of traps. Plenty of slopes, water and native areas to catch anything wayward. Tees very lush and well maintained. Fairways were excellent, near immaculate status. Appropriate I played this course on Masters Sunday, because these fairways were very Augusta like with great roll out. Rough was mowed down and not overly penal, just unlevel poa that produces iffy lies. Sand traps were the weak link, just okay. Decent quality sand, just needed more of it. Greens were large and challenging. Had a terrible putting day on these greens, had challenges with both the break and the speed. But they were smooth, firm and medium fast. Difficult layout that stretches to over 7300 yards for the real guys. Some nice risk/reward holes and a few absolute brutes... #10 was a 618 yard par 5, then #11 was a 481 yard par 4 and both were considerably longer if playing the tips. Excellent customer service from everyone. No drink cart or on course water stations. Carts had an ice chest, divot mix and GPS. All grass driving range with good Callaway balls included. Highly recommended.
