El Conquistador Golf & Tennis - Canada Course

The course has some narrow spots, and it was not ideal weather. It was nice when we started, but heated up a bit as time wore on. There was a very slow foursome in front of us.

If you want to have a great day of golf make sure you are playing the yardage that fits your game. This course is usually busy and it helps if you match your game with the yardage. This course is in great shape, more golfers need to repair their ball marks on the greens though. Also fill in your divots with the sand provided.

The recent Monsoon rains have finally gotten the grass growing and the fairways are much more playable. One tip for the grounds crew... MORE GRASS! Scalped fairways are a joke and if it does not rain then WATER the course!

Other than that little rant the golf experience here is mostly positive.

Greens were about a 3 or 4 on stimpmeter... amazingly slow

El Conquistador is a great course to play. It is set close to the mountains but still plays pretty level. There is two separate courses but I played the more challenging one, La Canada. There are some holes that change in elevation which adds to the difficulty just enough to make things interesting. I would recommend it regardless of skill level.

My first time playing here and frankly I was pleasantly surprised given some of the very negative reviews that have been posted recently.

Yes, the fairways are scalped and thin in places as Tucson awaits the start of the Monsoon but once the rains commence... any day now hopefully, the course should thicken up nicely.

The greens are decent and the many, many, many blind shots will challenge you, especially the first time you play here. The beverage gal came around on a regular basis and the entire staff was pleasant.

Despite being a first timer and largely thanks to the local knowledge my playing partner shared I managed to shoot my handicap and think I can do better. I'll be back!

Terrible golf experience. Large dead patches on the fairways, bumpy greens, blind shots, rediculous course layout.

Exceptional people, but the course needs serious help. I guess with the heat and drought, they could not help it. Looking forward to going back when the fairways have grass.

Was fun to play. Hit Irons on some par 4s and 5s. In excellent condition.

We booked a foursome on GOLFNOW at 9:10 AM. When we got to the course they said we were at 9:20 AM. I showed them my GOLFNOW receipt and they said GOLFNOW often had the wrong time. Not a big deal but the course changed the time to convenience a better time for members. The staff in the club house were also very crabby, It was going to be 92 degrees in Tucson that day and the ice machine was out of cups and not making ice. We did finally get ice when we talked to the facility manager. The pace of play was great... we never saw anybody close behind us. The greens were in good shape and the fairways were all well watered. I would play again.

My husband and I really enjoy playing at El Conquistador. The course is in excellent shape and it has plenty of challenging holes which are fun to play. The staff is very friendly and helpful. All this contributes to a fun round of golf in a beautiful setting.

We enjoyed playing this course very much. It has plenty of challenges for golfers of our level. We appreciate having the range balls included in the price of the green fees. There also are two additional areas for practicing sand shots as well as chips and pitches. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

I have been fortunate enough to play golf for 40 years. Once in my life I had to call the clubhouse for a new cart when mine quit working. Well three consecutive times at this course the cart failed during the round. There clearly are problems here when something like this happens time after time. The course was in reasonably good condition but there were some bad spots on some of the fairways. The greens and traps were excellent.

La Canada was in very good condition from t-box thru the greens. Some of the holes are quirky which adds to the fun and challenge to score well. Surroundings are very scenic and enjoyable. Walking the course would be extremely difficult given the distance tween greens and next t-box on many of the holes. Driving range balls included in green fees which is nice. Friendly staff. Was a very enjoyable round of golf.

Fairways in excellent conditions. Greens run true. Tee boxes are well placed for all levels of play. Seasonal greens fees are an excellent value.
