The Canada Course plays through forests of mesquite trees, offering a parkland atmosphere amongst a desert landscape. The natural terrain snakes through ravines and arroyos, providing several natural hazards. Considerable mounding, doglegs and elevation changes provide a varied layout, making club selection an important factor in addition to careful strategy. Golfers should be prepared to use every club in their bag. The course’s signature hole is the eighth hole, considered one of the toughest par 3s in Tucson. The hole requires players to drive the ball uphill along a narrow ridge between two Saguaro cacti, and canyons border the greens on both sides.

More the same.

Unfortunately - the condition of the greens do vary here. Some times they are fine and others, like today the greens were very shaggy.

To the point where if you flew a 7 iron into the center of the green it was hard to find your ball mark. The putts did not roll true and it was very difficult to read the speed on any putt more than 10'. It makes scoring very challenging.

If you want to play a competivie round and try to score - I would not recommend this course because you don't know what you will get with the greens.

greens are failing!

typical day at El Conquistador. Staff is friendly, amenities are good, tee times are on time, pace to of play is good. Only bag thing right now is the greens are in bad shape. They have been very slow all summer but at least they were smooth and consistent me Now there are big brown patches and why would the ground crew cut a cup right in the middle of a big patch of bad green?

Horrible course

For a troon manged course they should be ashamed. Greens were slow and burned out and the cups haven't been changed in days. Fairways were cut uneven and burned out also.tee boxes haven't been cut or divots filled. Not worth the money or the time. Would not recommend playing there to anyone.

Disappointed!

I practice and play here on a semi-regular bases. This is the first time I have dealt with inconsistencies with the speed of the greens. It was obvious not all of the greens were mowed at the same consistency. The practice green was mowed today - but it was not mowed yesterday. I just thought that maybe they were doing some maintence with the practice green but, when we got on the course it was more of the same. Not all of the greens were at the same speed. It appeared that some greens were mowed and some greens were not mowed that day. You could obviously see the difference, it varied from one green to the next.
