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.

Exceptional public course, good pace of play

This is the best public course around, great value and golfing experience. Pace of play was great, we only had to wait on the last few holes and finished around 4 hours. The Cañada course is challenging and fun, with lots of slopes and elevation.

Great pace of play

We joined up with two other players and we’re still able to play under 4 hours. Very hot day in Tucson but lots of water on course and cart service available several times during the round.

Excellent Public Course

This course has a full driving range, practice areas,, plenty of parking, pro shop and restaurant. The service was great. The course is challenging and in very good shaoe after recent green punching. Choose tees wisely since there is trouble left and right on most holes and there are many bunkers. The round was fast for a 11am tee time and there were marshals monitoring play. There are many elevated greens which made the course interesting
