El Conquistador Golf & Tennis - Canada Course

best this course has been In 5 years. it had greens that rolled (not brown and cracked).

The only draw back was no cart girl and having to buy a yardage book since the score card didn't have any pictures of the holes. The course was in great shape and the greens where a little slow but consistent.

This was my first time playing the LaCanada course at El Conquistador; the first time I played here I played the Conquistador course. I was not given a choice of courses - I'm not sure that Conquistador was even open on this day. The LaCanada course is less aesthetically pleasing, and has a number of holes that play uphill to raised greens that are bunkered, which was a bit much for my handicap (26). Play Conquistador if you have a choice of courses.

We had a great morning of golf, just got too hot so we played only 11 holes. Course was in good shape. The driving range was on grass and practice balls were included in the price. Great views of the mountains. Staff was really friendly. Only problem was sometimes with signage....confusing to find red tee box on one hole. All in all was very enjoyable.

What a treat! Troon Golf hits a home run with El Conquistador!

Strongly suggest you purchase a yardage book to get the general layout of the course(s)/greens. We went in blind and paid the price on a number of holes; just didn't know where the heck we were going!

The fairways were immaculate! The greens were a little spongy and on the slowish side. Likely from the overnight watering. But by and large, the course is fantastic!

We'll be back for more!

Nice course with friendly staff. Good layout and fun to play

Loved the course. I played the Canada course and the views and beautiful, the weather was perfect. If you love beautiful views and golf then go to this course and play. The staff is friendly and starter was nice as well. The course is in a lot better condition than when I played it back in November, which is just great to see.

Course itself was OK, average condition and layout. But everything else about it is just BRUTAL. Can't believe Troon manages this place this poorly - friendly outside staff but ignorant inside staff. The problems included:

Played on a perfect Wednesday at 11:50 and it was a 5-hour round. Foursome in front of us was brutally slow with nobody in front of them. Course stacked up behind them. Inexcusable.

No ranger on the course.

No beverage cart on the course.

Canada course never returns to clubhouse during the entire 18, so having nobody on the course at all means you're on your own for 5 hours. If staff in pro shop had at least mentioned that nobody was working on the course at all we could've at least prepared. Bad customer service and bad business - we would have bought food and drink from them prior to tee off.

Course has no yardages marked anywhere other than the 100/150/200 markers. No sprinkler heads are marked, no GPS on cart, no yardage guides... nothing. Not even a map of the holes on the scorecard, so you have no idea where holes go or how far anything is. Very frustrating, especially when playing holes where it's not all right there in front of you to see off the tee. Again... maybe something that the staff should mention before sending us out.

Inside staff is clueless. Every interaction with them made it clear they are inexperienced or poorly trained.

At one point I tried to call the clubhouse from the course. The phone number on the card goes to their tee time reservation system and puts you on hold for 3-5 minutes. It took three calls before someone ever picked up. Even then, once I was finally transferred to the pro shop, I got some clueless kid who said he was all alone in there. His only solution to the myriad of problems was to talk to the head pro when we finished. Needless to say, we will NEVER come back - especially with so many other options for golf in the area. Just a terrible golf experience. Nothing but a money grab by Troon and the city of Oro Valley with no regard for customer service.

We were pleasantly surprised as course was much improved from our previous play there. Greens were in much better shape. Like the free range balls available before play.

First time playing this course. Very good maintenance. Weather was stormy early that morning so it didn't appear the greens were just mowed. They rolled very true but were just a little slow but not bad by any means. Course conditions were excellent.

Not only is Canada a beautiful pleasant course to play the views from the course are awesome.

Perfect day, friendly starter, however, no ranger. Played the back nine in 2hrs, 40 min.

Enjoyed the round. There was slow play as I usually shoot towards a 4 hr round. I thought the course was changeling and definitely not a flat course. It made me consider a little more than usual which club to use. Lots of fun, go play and enjoy.

Great warm-up area& great views. No marshalls so pace was a little slow.
