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.

Troon has groomed course to improve pace of play

Having played this course over 20 years I have noted the changes Troon has made to make course more playable (without removing the challenges). Clearing undergrowth to find ball easier, managing the rough cut to prevent a ball hit to center of fairway not rolling in a wash, removing trees that really restricted line to hole for a white tees player, etc, etc. Narrow fairways, few opportunities to play an errant shot from an adjacent faraway, the course is already difficult . Troon has changed it from misery to challenging.

105 degrees today. NO WATER ON THE FRONT NINE

It’s not every day you see dead, shaggy cups on every hole, and pins not properly changed. I’m not sure the corporation tuning the course knows what to do.

Damaged greens

The Canada side has 6 holes with footprint damage from grounds crew poison on shoes, and the pin placements have not been moved for at least a couple weeks. The grass Is damaged and is over growing the cups on every hole. Very poor greens control. No water for golfers during the high heat. Not a top class run course.

It's Been A While, But Happy to Return

For the dog days of August, today's weather was ideal for a round of golf. Apparently, many others felt that way since both courses had a lot of play. Weekends can often be maddeningly slow, but pace of play was very good. A lot of the credit goes to the players, but there was also a marshal's presence. He was quite pleasant, as were all course employees from the pro shop to the cart girl. We played the Canada course, and despite the beating that Mother Nature has laid on Southern Arizona this summer, the course was in fine shape. The greens rolled true, and at a legitimate speed. The fairways and areas through the green were not perfect, but decent. No areas intended to be playable were unplayable. Even the bunkers were in good shape, for the most part, which is unusual considering the volume of water that has been deposited on the region this monsoon. Speaking on behalf of my playing partners, we truly enjoyed our day of golf at El Conquistador. I hope to return soon.

I am a Tucson native and have golfed at almost all the courses here in Tucson. Conquistador is a very good golf course for Tucson. It is usually kept in good shape and the staff is very friendly. It was a little warm today, but this is the desert.
