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 It If Get A Bargain Rate

Played Canada Course. Greens aren't in the excellent condition of the bent grass greens on the Conquistador course but they are ok. Very scenic layout with some tough holes, particularly Par 3 #8 and Par 5 #9. Premium on driving accuracy. Staff welcoming. Practice tee off mats a disadvantage.

Visually challenging

El Cañada is an excellent course. Difficult as represented by the slope.

This was my 2nd time playing this course. Very visually challenging from the tee. Significant elevation changes.

I would recommend this course.

Good Value

This was definitely a very good value for the price. The price included practice range and a cart. Although this was summer in Tucson the course and players played a very good pace and the covered carts made the round pleasant.

The course was in good shape, especially since this is right before having to reseed. Many of the holes were fairly simple to understand.
