El Conquistador Golf & Tennis - Canada Course
About
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.

Typical of course condition Photo submitted by DARoyer on 03/29/2013
Very picturesque layout
Great views on almost every hole and the layout is top notch. We played on a cool overcast day so the usual crowded conditions for a January day weren't there and the pace of play was great.
CMcC
Never disappoints. Pace was smooth as the weather was iffy, but it turned out partly sunny and warm enough for short sleeves. The course layout is especially fun to play with numerous elevated greens for all levels. The greens were also in great condition, but not a break to be had! We'll do it again soon!
Nice layout
The course is in excellent condition staff super friendly the pace of play great play this course if you get a chance well worth it
Who Knew?!
Didn't Know What to Expect... Come To Find It Was So Nice, Staff Was Very Friendly & The Carts Actually Included a Cooler, and Ball Washing Kit. The Beverage Cart Girl Was Also There Just When You Needed Her. A++ - We Immediately Booked Another Round for The Next Day.
Thank you for taking the time to review our course. I'm glad that you had a great day playing. We look forward to your next visit.

It's ready for over seeding and maintenance.
The fairways were in good shape but the approach areas at the the greens and the greens themselves were in pretty rough shape.
Troon Management should be ashamed
I don’t think Troon management would let this happen at the Dunes. I would not recommend this course. Just glad I did not pay full fees. The greens and areas of the course where terrible. They said it was because of a water/irrigation issue in June. I don’t understand why the greens and other area of the course are still so beat up. I am a resident of Oro Valley and i would never recommend the course. there are too many others that are better maintained to play. Funny that the only holes that are maintained can be seen from the road.
I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience while playing golf with us. I would like to speak with you about that experience. Please feel free to reach me at elcongolf36@gmail.com

Course under repair
This course is trying to come back. It's not bad at this time. Now they are shutting it down for over seeding. When it comes back it should be really nice. I looked at the Conquistador side which they put bent grass, I think, but it looked really good. Most of the time, for me they charge to much. The starter was extremely friendly and helpful. I had a great time. It was fun.
Greens
Most of the greens were in very bad shape, made it very difficult to putt
Golf review
Course in great shape for pre-overseeing process.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We look forward to having back out soon.
Have nice and funy day
You can improve the condition of some green an fairway
And if put mor technology in the golf car, much better
I mean. Gps system. Free water in the golf car
But overall everything was great
Lettuce Greens
Greens were horrible. Mix in some seeds. We had to take the 2 putt rule on several holes due to the terrible condition. A shame since we left several what if birdie opportunities.
Sad greens
Sad to say that the greens on the Canada course were very poor. The fairways and rough were playable. I would not recommend playing the course either during this time of year or due to poor course management.
course conditions
I played this course in the winter what a difference the greens are in real bad shape except #17 the only one that had good grass. The fairways were ok. also the cart girl should be out their more often and not be leaving at 1 o'clock . the Price should be adjusted for course conditions.
Terrible
The course should be closed. The greens are diseased, burnt out, and putt worse than the desert floor. They are unplayable .No kidding. A decent lie in the fairway is nearly impossible. Asphalt paths are all broken up or washed away. The course is a great layout and used to be first class. It is now in major disrepair and should be closed until playable.
Erick Womack contacted me regarding my review. He explained the reasons for the earlier course conditions and offered me to return to experience the improvements. A first class gesture on his part. Very good customer relations. I look forward to returning. Thank you Erick.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I would love to talk with you regarding your experience playing at EL Conquistador. Feel free to contact me at elcongolf36@gmail.com.
Expect Improvements in the Future
At this point, I cannot recommend the course. The layout is great, but due to weather conditions, lack of monsoons, breakdown in a pump, course has taken a hit in conditions. Greens and fairways are in bad shape. While I was out there, many maintenance personnel were working on the course. After talking to Eric the new head pro, I expect over time that the course will be in much better condition. A new head groundskeeper was also brought in, these changes will be a big help in seeing improvements. Additionally a new pump is being built by rainbird, and should be in. These items will definitely allow for big improvements down the line, along with maintenance to the irrigation system. The bunkers were in excellent shape, and due to the lack of play, pace was excellent. Keep this course in mind, down the road.
If they drop the price, or you can get a hot deal, give it shot, just currently do not expect much.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and speaking with me on the phone. We look forward to seeing you back to play in the coming months.
Muni Take over
I have played this course going back to it's early days in the mid 80's.During the years I have seen plenty of up& down times at the club, it has hit rock bottom. The course has be taken over by city government and being managed by Troon Golf.I would have to say for a Troon Golf project it is far from their standard that you can always depend on.One would have to be leave the Muni is killing it for future plans of the land.To bad great track!
NO EXCUSE FOR BEING BURNT OUT
THE 2ND HOLE GREEN IS A PATCHWORK OF DIRT, SAND AND BURNT OUT GRASS. TERRIBLE CONDITIONS ON MANY AREAS OF THE COURSE. IF THE CITY OF ORO VALLEY DOESN'T MAINTAIN THIS COURSE IN BETTER CONDITION IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We apologize for your experience on the golf course. Our crew is working very hard this summer to bring the course back to optimal playing conditions. Please contact me directly to discuss your experience and the course conditions. elcongolf36@gmail.com Erick Womack
Course needs a lot of work
This course use to be a very good course but now the conditions are terrible. Drive down the middle of the fairway and your on bare ground. Greens are in terrible shape also. Sad the course is in such bad shape.
Thank you for the review. We value your time and want you to know that we are working hard to get the course in better playing conditions. I would like to further discuss with you your experience you had. Feel free to contact me at elcongolf36@gmail.com.
