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.

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.

Worth the trip across town.

The course was in excellent condition. Greens were quick and rolled smooth. The staff were very friendly. Pace of play was slow, but to be expected when playing on a Saturday with perfect weather. I played the conquistador course. It was a fun layout. I look forward to playing the Canada course soon.

Played the tips

Played the black tees on Canada with a very good golfer. I’m a 10 handicap, and it was plenty challenging for me. Some tricky bunker placements. Greens were fast & in great shape. Enjoyed the round. Play was a bit slow, but didn’t care. It was 75 degrees, light breeze. Perfect conditions.

My new favorite!

What an absolutely excellent experience the Cañada course was. Excellent warm-up facilities, including a spacious putting green, chipping area, bunker, and driving range. The course itself was fair and challenging. The beauty of the sight lines is sometimes distracting; it is hard not to want to just take a picture on almost every hole. Will DEFINITELY play again!

Great course but!

A friend and I were a 2 some and we were put with a couple other people which would be expected. One of the other 2 people was extremely slow and barely mobile. This took the fun out of the game and made it painful to play.

Not impresed with the starter doing this to us as the slow person seemed to be regular there. This person should be playing with at most one other to Keep pace of play more reasonable.

Cart before the course

A busy day at El Con meant an unexpected wait for carts to become available, which pre-empted practice time. With a 1:30pm tee time, we finished in the twilight (4:15 round). Canada course covers a lot of territory and has a handful of good holes. Sad to see so many ball marks on greens; they don't repair easily, but not at all without some effort! Rocky bunkers remain a problem. Can't beat the views from elevated tees. Worth what we paid.

This course has a good variety of holes and challenges.

The course has a variety of holes with significant elevation changes, beautiful fairways and excellent fast greens. At times a fairly decent shot is not rewarded with a good result because the ball will roll through the fairway and the rough and end up in the desert. Similarly, at times the ball will roll off the green, down a slope and into a penalty area when allowing the fringe to grow a little longer would probably stop the ball. This would make for a more enjoyable round.

Great layout - diabolical greens

Course was in great condition.

the fun begins once you get on the green. Undulations and slopes which could mean your ball ends up off the green
