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.

Great condition, staff so so

Course was in great shape, smooth quick greens, thick rough, okay bunkers. Biggest issue was the staff. Starter was an idiot, forgot to notify us to go to the tee, was on his phone the whole time. Ended up going off 30 minutes late. Pro shop double charged me for the GPS, not sure why it is an extra fee anyway.

very challenging

Found the course in excellent condition./ Check in and starter were very friendly and helpful. Put us with another twosome and we played in 4 1/2 hrs. We think the green conditions plus the very deep bunkers along with the elevation changes make it quite difficult for the average golfer to score well.

Great golfing day! Great course!

It was a great day on this really nice golf course. Course was in great shape.

Both the Can^ada and Conquistador courses are both great courses. Two of my favorite.

Keep up the good work!

Great golf outing

Course was in great shape, manicured fairways, greens fast and rolled true.. Twenty nine putts for 18 holes is good for me. Staff was cordial and helpful.

Freezing, Windy & Slow - Never got out of 40's

Started out OK, but couples foursome, 3 groups in front of us had course tied up. They were 4+ holes behind on back nine with no rangers on course. We skipped 2 holes (11 & 12) to jump in front of them to play out 13-18 with no one in front of us.

You had one job!

Day started off with the bag drop attendant putting our bags on the cart but he forgot to strap mine in. So naturally when I drove off my bag fell off damaging my driver (don’t care about that too much), my bag (don’t care about that too much either) and my putter (I am very upset about that). He then ran over and told me he couldn’t understand how that happened. I could.
