Rating 71.7

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.

Good course. Good value. Friendly staff.

We have played this course many times while visiting the Oro valley. The course conditions are always good. The price/value is good and the availability of tee times is also good.

This course is beautiful and challenging.

I can’t say enough about how well this course is groomed. The tees, the fairways and especially the greens. The best part though was the courteous staff. The food and service was great. The pro shop and starter are very courteous. The fellas that help with the bags and carts went out of their way to accommodate.

Improvements made…

Free range balls, nice putting green for warm up. Canada 18 has new pumps and water lines installed, reseeded, ready for winter play.

Greens (surprisingly) normal speed considering just opened after reseed, will get faster as cut shorter. Newly added (finer) bunker sand is also a plus.

No waiting during entire round (Sunday?) and excellent overall on course experience. Starter and ranger friendly but overzealous (we saw no one, held no one up, yet they were on our foursome to keep up (?)

Overlook restaurant in clubhouse good (when open), friendly staff. Everything priced right, will be even better when Conquistador 18 opens with reseeding.

Both courses worth one’s time.

Good course for a good price.

The course was in good shape and we were able to get a decent rate to play. Course was busy so the pace of play was a little slow but not horrible.

A good experience

Well run, friendly staff. Course is transitioning to summer grass, still nice, especially greens (mid-fast, tricky). Bunkers inconsistent and could use a bit of work (best avoided). Piping and irrigation lines piled up around course lead me to believe a renovation is planned. Not sure if the course will be open through summer. Overall a nice round: views, little waiting, challenging. Free range balls, decent bar (when open) Canada course less challenging than Conquistador but still requires skill and planning.

Beautiful Day in Paradise

Both courses are gems and extremely challenging, beautiful and well worth it. It is a little frustrating when gaps open up between groups due to slow play when the number one rule in golf is keep up with the group in front of you. Perhaps a sign where you enter the clubhouse with this stated as well as a request to please fix your ball marks on the green plus one more will really help keep up the quality of the course.

Excellent Day on a beautiful course.
