Course Highlights
The Cañada course delivers a rewarding challenge with elevation changes, well-placed bunkers, and sloped greens that keep rounds engaging. Consistently friendly staff from check-in to the beverage cart make every visit feel welcoming and well-supported.

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.

Nice all around

Course conditions good in all aspects. They continue to work on playability. Didn’t like the fact that pin location was the same from 4 days earlier which shows slack preparation. Wondering how often greens are mowed?

It was hot, there was cold water in buckets at proper intervals, just monsoon (humid) summer in Tucson, deal with it (play early).

Clubhouse food and bar OK. Other course closed for extensive improvements. A convenient place to play, there are better, but nice to visit occasionally.

BEST Value for a TUCSON Area Course

The Canada course is well laid out and challenging. I will come back when the other course is ready after re-construction. I am also going to look at membership. I need a "golf home". Thank you-Terry W. Protto

Good Course

The Cañada side (the only one playing, is showing the wear of being the only side open. Fairways are good; greens are worn, inconsistent, and the cross cut marks add to the less-than-smooth rolls. Still, a lot of challenges for a decent price. Unfortunately, the range is now closed although a portion is open but further down range.

Great shape

The course was in great shape. Very few 'brown' spots. Pace-of-play was slow. The Marshall was out a couple times checking on the speed of play and he seemed satisfied that it was close to the scheduled times.

Excellent value

Course is in good shape. Greens were excellent, fairways ok. This is a difficult golf course with some interesting terrain. Our pace of play was approx 3 and 3/4 hours for 18 holes. Range balls were included, decent practice area. Drink cart made the rounds a few times, very pleasant lady running it. Lots of ice water on the course. I rate this 5 stars, an excellent value.

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.
