Golf Event Reviews

The staff/volunteers were great, friendly; however, the tournament itself was lacking. There were no spotters near water hazards to assist players who hit balls into the penalty areas. Also, I saw a ruling question in the 18th hole bunker but no Rules Officials were around so the players just proceeded as best they could. There was no snack/water cart going around for walking fans. No printed programs/tee times available. More food concessions. This site is not fan-friendly but staff did their best.

Awesome Valero Open Tournament. Yhe Pros make playing golf look easy. Looking forward to next year.

I got presedential tickets. It was hard to know what to do and where we could go. The food was ok nothing great. I'm extremely disappointed in the field of players, I would not attend again if there will not be more top ranked players

Badly organized! No shade in 95 degrees? Car park was a joke. Music blew the head off us!

PGA events are superior in comparison

LPGA embodies my personal values.

Friday's program did not have a course MAP. I took a photo of the signpost for my phone. They should have had some fairway crossover spots as difficult to get to the restroom facilities. Also, should have had stations to wash hands outside the restroom portolets. Definitely needed a few more of these areas - one more location per 9 as too far in between for many older attendees.

We brought children so the snacks should have had candy options like Twizzlers and gummy bears. Very adult oriented and there were many children. Food selection was OK, but hot dogs were COLD. Wine was WARM. If you asked for ice you received less wine.

Surprised no merchandise tent. Most of merchandise sold out by Saturday. They don't restock? Use the same stuff next week and most of the trainers go there....

Buses were fine and drivers nice. Volunteers were friendly and helpful.

Loved Every Minute

While the tournament was excellent, there was a limited selection of LPGA apparel. Few concession stands with limited selections of food and drink. It seemed as if the club or maybe members didn’t necessarily want the tournament held on their course.

Enjoyed the golf immensely. Would like to see more viewing stands where you could sit and enjoy food and drinks on 18th hole. Transportation to and from parking area was very slow the first day(not enough buses).

Fabulous time watching these Amazing Young Ladies play. What a beautiful course and spectacular scenery of the Superstition Mountains in Gold Canyon. We hope it will be back again next year!

Beautiful day and great golf. The Superstition mountain views are doing excellent and the course looks like it is in very good shape.

Tournament was great! Beautiful course. Enjoyed it so much. My only criticism is that there needs to be more buses to take people to or from the parking lot. To wait over a half an hour for a bus was too long. I hope it comes back next year to Superstition MT!!

The venue was magnificent with the gorgeous mountains as a backdrop.

I felt the event was under advertised. There. Was no seating accommodation for seniors and handicapped people. There was no map of the grounds so you couldn’t find your way around the course. The volunteers were uninformed of location of holes on the course except for the one they were manning. This was a big disappointment as I have attended others in Phoenix that were run like a charm. Better organization would have been appreciated

Great Tournament

Enjoyed attending. I do hope [the tournament] return to Superstition Mountain next year.

One small suggestion. When [the organisers] put up the site maps, tell people where they are when viewing the map. A icon stating "You are here" would help, if you don't know the course. All in all, a good experience.

Priced fairly,nice location., okay temperature, overpriced food and water, need access to free water, easy going , well mannered crowd

My nephew who is in a wheelchair was denied access to a wheelchair accessible exit because he didn’t have a vip ticket. This is absurd that he had to be carried by his friends up and down stairs when there was an accessible exit available. Shame on [the organisers].

I met a man who was a volunteer at the tucson event who lived in the Gallery gated community. He told me he did the same thing for the PGA Tour for 20+ years and was only paid minimum wage the entire time. For him it wasn't about the money. It was about the principle of the matter. He also said liv golf paid him a fair wage and he was very appeciative even though it wasn't about the money. It was because liv golf was treating with respect.

I also find it interesting that all the major tournments will let liv golfers who qualify like everyone else play in their tournments but the PGA Tour will not let them play in their tournments. My last comment is a question: Why does the PGA Tour take money from 60% of their sponsors who do business with the Saudi government and will not let liv golfer play in their tournments and do business with the Saudi government. It seems like the Tour are run by a bunch of hypocrites.

I forgot to mention the one and only improvemènt that should be considered if you come back to Tucson next year. Watching these athletes close up on the tee areas was not difficult on the first day (Friday) but very difficult on Saturday and Sunday due to the large crowds. Enlarging the viewing area around the tees would really make the fan experience amazing. Thank you for allowing me to provide my comments. I might also add having the low volume soft rock music around the tees was very relaxing and was not an issue for the players from what I saw.
