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.

Very nice course with fantastic views of nearby mountains.

We had a very pleasant round on a perfect day for golf. We had a 8:10 tee time and a single joined our threesome, He was about the same handicap as us and made great company. The course itself is tight and there is not GPS on carts but we had watches and laser pointers (which is a must due to elevation changes on course and how quickly the course played.

Normally hit ball about 230-240 up in Michigan. Those same drives would roll out to 280-300.

Greens were fast and true. Fairways are tight and if you slightly sprayed off fairways the ball would roll back into the fairway, balls that were more than 20 yard miss resulted in drops due to severity of cliffs In desert.

Sand traps were a bit of a mess, not much sand and plenty of rocks.

Overall a decent value compared to others in the area. Would play again.

First time on the course

Very pleasant experience. Nice layout, nice conditions

and beautiful weather. Golfed with a nice couple who were “regulars” and they were very nice and very knowledgeable of the course which really helped first time players as we were. Would definitely play again.

It was ok

I have played here many times when in Tucson and have enjoyed the course. It was very busy this time and tee times were delayed. The started disappeared 20 minutes before our tee time so, with no one on the tee, we just went ahead and teed off. Pace of play was slow - took 4 1/2 hours to play. Course conditions were fair- traps had little sand and the fairways were very thin. Greens were ok. Overall, it was just average but ok when we took into account what we paid.

If you don't like waiting 5 minutes for every shot, then this course is not for you. With that said the course was in pretty good shape. Relatively fast greens and beautiful sites.

Excellent Value

Tucson Green fees in February can get pricey so $55 was extremely reasonable. The course can be a tricky layout in the desert setting but most holes give you plenty of room to spray the ball around. The winter grass fairways were green, not very dense and had many tight lies. The dormant Bermuda rough is mostly packed down from the carts and difficult to play from. Starter, clubhouse staff and cart guys were all very friendly.

Nice Course

This is a great course that is very tight but fun to play. The only serious recommendation I would make is put sand in the bunkers. It is very difficult to play off of hard pan in the traps. The rest of the course was great.
