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.

Improvement showing

Greens plugged and dressed a few weeks ago (?) and although somewhat bumpy putted well. Not quite there yet, but better than many other courses in the area.

Bunkers have sand but always wet. Daytime watering is responsible.

Fairways good, cut so you can play various shots and clubs.

Ranger actually talked to a group in front and asked them to move faster, nice!

Other 18 closed for irrigation and pump work, so maybe this course seeing added attention?

Clubhouse food and drinks available and worthy of a go. Prices decent as are green fees.

Hidden gem

Booked on GolfNow and got cart and 9 holes for less than $20/ person. Great value. And great course. Challenging and scenic. Great for the holiday golfer. Some hazards cause automatic lost balls but all in all a great course. Would definitely play there again

Always Enjoy Canada at El Conquistador

Of the two El Conquistador courses, I like Canada the best. The course is in good shape and has its challenges, but most players will find something they like. Although I know most players do not prefer hitting off the range mats, I would recommend that El Con add one more day of mats only to give the grass more recovery time. Looking forward to the next round at El Conquistador.

Canada

Course is good, fun and challenging minus front 9 greens just being sanded. That was a bummer and never mentioned any time before the round. Uphill, downhill & all-around challenging holes.

I will diffidently try it again.

Great 18

Fairways were in wonderful shape, with plenty of challenges and elevation changes. Some narrow fairways are very challenging, and the greens were irregular pace in my view, but I’ve never played them before so it may have been just that.
