-Tees are the Golf tee pads, which are enormous for disc golf purposes, the short grass offers great traction and ample space for even the longest run ups
-Tee signs are nice, they are huge, big enough to be seen from a ways away, they show the golf hole and the basket location, along with hole length and par.
-Fairway condition on this course is complicated. On the grass and the sand, everything is great, expect some huge skips, but overall it is great. However, on many holes, there is this sort of weed bush type plant that covers the ground entirely. This makes any disc that lands in it incredibly difficult to find. I can't even imagine what golfers do when their tiny ball lands in that mess.
-For a golf course, there is impeccable use of trees at this course. I expected a mostly open course with little to no trees and he only obstacle would be distance and maybe water, but what I got was those things, plus, some trees. Basket locations are obviously very thoughtful as they incorporate many elements of the golf course that are likely overlooked.
-Easy Navigation, didn't need a map to hop from hole to hole. One note though: first you play the white golf tees (front nine) then you are back on the red golf tees for the back nine
-Water, I was excited that there was a water hazard here, that is an obstacle that I don't see too often, it is used well here, the one bad thing though is that the water is really gross. I saw a giant dead bird floating around in the water, very glad my drive didn't splash.
-A wide variety of throws on this course, a couple short holes, a bunch of bombs, both forehand and backhand represented, although that wouldn't matter if you like going over the top of things
-No garbage
-Lots of room for creativity

-Baskets are one of the larger cons here, they are chainstars, which aren't my favorite, I think that I should be able to hit pro side with a little height and not be scared if my putter will just slide out the other side.
-Baskets are also not very visible, the worn gray doesn't exactly stand out against the desert landscape
-There isn't really much rough here persay, as is to be expected from a golf course setting, most difficulty comes from distance and wind. That being said, there are some trees that divide each golf hole, that can definately mess you up if you shank one.
-Not much elevation to be had. Pretty much all flat.
-OB: from what I could tell, there is rather a lot of assumed OB here on paths, other fairways, etc. I'm pretty sure I played right before a tournament because there were people setting up little flags everywhere. If that is there always, then, I guess I retract this con, and put it in the pros!
-Sadly no benches, this would be helpful as this is a rather long course and could be tiring.

A very nice course to play, the best I have played in Tucson. $10 is a little steep for this course, compared to the other pay to play courses I've visited. Just saying, but, maple hill cost me 10 bucks and this course is not quite that good.

It has grass
Open, long shots
Some variety
Navigation easy
Pro shop with nice people + reasonable cost
Pretty setting
Baskets in great shape
Easy to get to, easy to park
Has that Tucson feel (slightly dilapidated)
Not busy with ball golfers
If your disc is lost in water or bushes it will likely surface back in the pro shop and you can pick it up on the Honor system

I worry that this course might fade away because so much has closed down on the the property. Used to be Buffalo Bill's restaurant with music and steaks (gone). Used to be a tennis club (way south on property), now gone x3 years. Used to be a cafe.
The layout isn't the most thrilling (two loops)
Ball golfers play here (but not many) so you do have to be cognizant of being beamed in the head with a golf ball
You have to pay (but only $10)

I live across the street from this course. When we moved here I wasn't into disc golf and randomly discovered the joy of living across the street from a disc golf course! It's a quiet little getaway course and according to one of the guys manning the front desk, it's the Frolfers who are supporting the course right now! Come out and keep Quail Canyon alive! It's a fun course and terrific for practicing your drive.

Wonderful Desert Oasis

This disc golf course is set on an Par 3 Executive ball golf course with a rustic, western theme. Wonderful setting in a desert canyon lined with mature mesquite trees and saguaro cactus. The canyon holds the Pima Wash, a dry riverbed that runs through the course.

I used bullet points if you don't want to read the entire review.

A True 18 hole course
This is not a nine hole course you play forward and backward to make 18. .This is an 18 disc golf course following an 18 Hole ball golf course. The course has two nine hole loops, so you can visit the clubhouse in the middle of the round. You can start on Hole 10, if there is waiting to start on Hole 1.

Unique Location
It really feels miles away from the super busy Oracle Road located along the top of the canyon. It is not completely cultivated and still has a lot of dirt and sandy areas. They have just enough grass for ball golf, with plenty of rough areas left for the disc golfers. The fairways are lined by mature mesquite trees and desert vegetation. There is even a small pond on Hole 14. When not blocked by all the mature trees, there are some beautiful views of the nearby Catalina Mountains.

Pay to Play
There is a fee to play the course. There is an additional fee if you want to rent a cart for your round. My daughter came along as a non-playing rider for a small fee. Pretty standard fare for a ball golf facility. You also have to pay for any beer you drink. Since this is a private facility, there are no joggers, walkers running through or picnickers and people sleeping in the fairways.

No Carts needed
While the electric carts are awesome, the course is compact enough to play 18 holes without a cart. I saw a family of four with children playing ball golf without a cart.

Tees
Disc Golfers play from the very same tee areas as the ball golfers. These are nicely maintained grass areas. The current tees are marked with white or red markers. The white tee markers are for Holes 1 through 9. The red tee markers are on Holes 10 through 18. The red or white tee markers help with the navigation as sometimes the tees for another hole is close by.

Signs and navigation
This course features extra-large wrought iron tee signs with western themes. The signs are for ball golf and give the distances in yards. The distances are measured from the center of the teeing area to the center of the ball golf green, so they are just a guideline for the current set up. Most of the disc golf baskets are beyond or to the sides of the ball golf greens. Each sign features unique western themed artwork like quails, cowboys, steers and windmills.

Carts
They had nice two person electric golf carts for rent. They have dirt paths throughout the course. I enjoy renting a cart because it allows me to bring lots of extra discs and water. You should only cross the wash on the provided path to avoid getting stuck in the sand. They are covered, so you can bring the shade with you. Last Carts out at 3:00pm. They do not let you reserve carts ahead of time. Not a lot of ball golf traffic when I played on a weekend.

Wildlife
There is the opportunity to see plenty of local plants and wildlife on the course. There were quail as the name states. We also saw plenty of rabbits, roadrunners, doves, lizards and hawks. You can hear many doves signing in the trees and the occasional screech of the hawks. We saw a ton of Zebra Tailed Lizards with a black and white striped tail. When they run the tail curls up and resembles a scorpion. These guys were running around everywhere.

Pro Shop and Clubhouse
They offer drinks and snacks in the pro shop. They have water, sports drinks and my favorite sports drink: cold beer! Since Tee 1 and 10 are close by, you can stock up between nines. They offer the usual ball golf accessories for sale. I don't recall if they had any discs for sale. If you need to take a break before,during or after your round, there is seating in the bar, in a dining area or on the back covered patio.

Nice and Cool
Best played early or late in the day. However, I played it mid-day over 100 degrees with a cart (and cold beer) and did just fine. The large cliff to the West puts the canyon in the shade in the late afternoon. The golf carts are covered, providing a nice shady spot to sit during the whole round. They also have a nice covered patio and courtyard area at the clubhouse to relax before during or after your round. It definitely felt a few degrees cooler down here in the canyon.

Restrooms
There are full service restrooms in the pro shop next to the tees from Holes 1 and 10. There is also a restroom facility at the far end of the course near holes 5 and 15.

Worth It - Will Play Again
I thought the fee was worth it. I enjoyed it enough that I will be back. I will definitely check to see if they have any leagues or night events on the schedule. I visit Tucson on a regular basis. I would play it again even if it didn't have carts and beer.

Kids, Carts and Strollers
Great place to bring kids. Suitable for pull carts and strollers. It might be a little rocky or sandy in a few spots. I suggest you rent one the awesome electric carts and pile in all your gear and your kids! Of course if you don't want to rent a cart, the course is compact enough to walk. Plenty of chances to use the restrooms and take breaks.

Beer!
Some things are worth mentioning more than once. I love beer and they serve beer, so it is a definite plus. I didn't see a beer cart and they don't allow you to bring outside alcohol.

Not Much Variety
It doesn't require a wide variety of shots. It is pretty flat and mostly wide open. A big drive is an asset, but you still need to avoid the greens and the rough.

Ball Golfers are slow
We were a twosome that ended up behind a family of four playing ball golf. Since we had a cart, we just moved to the next tee and drove back to play the missed hole at the end of the round.

Pay to Play
I don't consider that a con, but some might not like to pay to play on private property. This is a nice place and I don't mind paying a few dollars to play a nice relaxing round - with carts and cold beer!

Tough Drive
Kind of a tough drive on congested streets with lots of stop lights if you don't live in this part of Tucson.

Super Nice Management
The staff was friendly and everyone was very welcoming. They seemed very happy to have disc golf in the facility. Hopefully all disc golfers behave when they visit. If you can please try to spend a few dollars in the pro shop and buy a water or a sports drink before your round to show some support.

Weddings and Events
They host weddings and events in the oasis courtyard next to the pro shop and banquet hall. If they are holding wedding here you know it has to be pretty awesome. They have several banquet areas and buildings around the grassy courtyard for events. When I visited, they had just held an evening putting event and they were very pleased with the turnout. They hosted the putting event in the same area as they host weddings, which is pretty awesome. Of course, they serve alcohol.

Tennis Courts
They also offer Tennis. They have lighted courts for night play. It is separate from the golf/disc golf and has a separate entrance on Oracle Road.

It's About Time
I can't believe Tucson doesn't have more than one disc golf/ ball golf course. Hopefully, if this course is successful, more will follow. I can see why they added disc golf. We were one of three groups on the course in the mid-day sun and the only group of disc golfers.

Brand new baskets. Level, flat tees, even though they are grass.
Nice, maintained grass on this golf course.
Clubhouse with drinks, snacks and restrooms.
Nice, friendly staff and golfers.
Good DG hole signs, with distance, picture and distance.
Most holes are pretty long, without any tunnels, good chance to air it out.

No concrete or paved tees. Not a huge problem since the golf tees are smooth and level.
Mostly a throw it long and make your up shot type of course. Not a lot of shot shaping needed, although some were a challenge.
Can be crowded with golfers, although the ones I encountered let me play through.

This was my first experience playing DG on a golf course. The guy running the pro shop was very nice and even had DG scorecards. All the golfers I caught up to were also friendly and asking questions. A couple of ladies even skipped a hole to watch me throw.
The main obstacle here were the golf greens as OB, I never came close to landing on one, mainly because they are postage stamps.
There are a decent amount of trees (and yes a few cactus) on the course and the designers used those pretty well to challenge the upshot.
Overall, a good experience, but I probably wouldn't pay the $10 greens fee very often. It was a good experience on my tour of Tucson courses.

- The course is located in a nice canyon, with none of the typical park hazards you'll find at the other courses in Tucson, i.e., dogs running wild, bicyclers/walkers/joggers, day time nappers, gang graffiti, car traffic, etc.

- The disc golf course flows with the ball golf course, allowing disc golfers and ball golfer to play side-by-side with minimal issues.

- The grass is in good shape/maintained here, which you won't find at the other courses in town.

- The clubhouse is clean and has drinks, snacks, and restrooms.

- The people working there are friendly and helpful.

- The course is challenging, but not so difficult as to scare off newer players.

- If you don't want to walk, golf carts are available for a few extra bucks.

- The current disc golf signage is flimsy/falling down, but will hopefully be upgraded in the future

- The baskets aren't number, which may cause some confusion for out-of-town visitors

I've played all the courses in Tucson numerous times and this one is definitely my favorite. While I enjoy and support the other courses in town, I appreciate the more upscale/professional feeling at this pay-to-play course. I realize not all disc golfers enjoy the "Country Club" atmosphere, with rules of etiquette and such. However, I do enjoy playing disc golf on a nice course and I would recommend wearing a collared shirt when you play here. It's not a requirement here but it does help counter the negative stereotypes often associated with disc golf in Tucson.

If you're looking for a nice course to play, and don't mind paying a few bucks to do so, this is your best option in Tucson.

Bathrooms (at the clubhouse and back of the course), defined fairways, challenging pin placements, pro shop w/ beverages and snacks, carts, hand carts, beautiful setting, mature trees, wildlife... The course is challenging but if you play smart you will do well.

The carts aren't the most reliable.

This is a pay to play course and I am fine with that. 2 plus hours of fun for $10 is a deal.

Grass albeit it's desert grass. Most places call it weeds.
Course is in a gully so you don't really know it's off a busy street. Feels more remote.
Better maintained than any other course in the area which is low praise.
Flat course but they work the trees/bushes/cacti to make for better variety.
Wide open spaces. There are a lot of trees as obstacles but the course is still forgiving for the occasional wild drive.
Easy to follow with well marked tees. My first concern with most dg courses is finding tees but this course is well marked with photos at each tee showing basket location.

$10 fee when all other courses are free.
Playing around ball golfers. I was stuck behind an elderly couple who didn't understand the concept of "playing through." Might be less of an issue in the summertime when all the snowbirds are gone and it's less busy.
Preference to ball golfers. All greens are Out Of Bounds which I thought was an unnecessary restriction. I understand the need to protect the green from divots but since the greens are fairly close to the basket the chances of an errant throw causing a divot is decreased. If I accidentally land a disc on a green I chose to not count a penalty shot.

If I were reviewing this as a ball golf course I'd probably give it a rating of 1/2 as the condition of the grass is terrible for them. I honestly think they just painted the greens to make them the right color. As a disc golfer the condition of the flora is irrelevant and I enjoyed playing this course although it won't happen often due to the fee. The course is a nice walk but considering it's location in a gully I see the risk of it being unplayable during monsoon season to be high due to flooding. Rumor has it the city of Marana is working with the local disc golf club in planning a 27 hole course adjacent to the flooded out Marana Rock course that should be far better than any other course in the area.

Addendum: after playing the course again I felt I may have been too hard on my review because of the fee. If this course was free I'd probably play it all the time as it really is a fun course with a nice variety of desert, grass, and water.

- Tucked away in a fairly green desert canyon with mature trees, wildlife, and even a bit of water.
- Full 18 holes with natural "ball golf" tees in use
- Medium length with 80% of holes between 350 and 450'
- Creative pin placements to maximize challenge and keep shots away from the greens
- Water in play on two holes, but low chance of lost discs
- Refreshments available after 9 or 18
- Easy to walk course without a cart
- Dave at the pro shop is friendly and welcoming!
- Great setting and wildlife
- Intuitive layout

- Pay to play at $10 without cart or $15 with
- Some ball golfers still don't understand that there is a disc golf course in play on their par three course and are perplexed or irritated.
- Don't want to get stuck behind too many ball golfers as their play is pretty slow (especially if they are using carts).

I travel frequently and Tucson has become a favorite when in Arizona, but with the Marana Rock course wiped out, the disc golf courses just can't keep up with the variety of quality courses in greater Phoenix. This is a step in the right direction! I would rate this as the best all around course in the Tucson area now. Its a beautiful setting, belying your desert surroundings, and with predominant grass fairways, your plastic will not get chewed up like many desert courses. Nesting Red Tail Hawks, lizards, snakes, Vermilion Flycatchers . . . great for bird watchers too. I've played at least a half dozen courses that are laid out on top of ball golf courses and usually they are too wide open and end up being just a game of who can throw the disc the farthest on every hole. This one uses the trees and bushes as creatively as possible to make the course a bit more technical.
