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.

Enjoyable layout

We arrived at venue 1 hour early - starter put us out on El Conquistador vice La Canada. Fine with us on this 100 degree day. Greens gave us trouble due to speed on hot day. Fairways in good shape. Restaurant after round was excellent.

Meh

This course was alright, but not worth the price they charge for it. Narrow fairways that are closely lined by out of bounds areas. If you aren’t accurate off the tee then good luck finding your ball, and if you find it good luck retrieving it. Greens were very fast and didn’t seem to have a lot of variation to them. Sand traps were very dense and had no give to them, might as well have been hitting off a dirt trail. Group behind us kept being obnoxious and running carts into each other.

No Ranger=Slow Play

A foursome held up play without offering us an opportunity to play through. When we finally skipped a hole to go around, we found two holes open. A ranger on the course could have solved this issue. The course winds through neighborhoods and shopping centers. The carts have no GPS. The views are spectacular. Quarry Pines is a better course and value. Just my opinion.

One of pair they put with us was a chatterbox and got worse the more he drank. Really distracting Greens are very well maintained. Could use more signage for cart paths, especially hole 15 that runs along a street.

Definitely better than 4 stars

Loved my round here. Very impressed with the plushness of the grass, shape of the greens, and challenge of the layout. Would absolutely play again and not as extreme of target golf as other places I've played in Tucson. That being said, it's definitely not a grip and rip style golf course.

Nice Solid Golf Course

We only played the front 9 of the Canada Course.

I’m an 8 handicap who hits his driver about 230 and I found I should hit 3 wood on most holes except for the 1st par 5 as the balls can run through the fairways if you don’t hit the right shape and line. It feels a little short. Very challenging layout with perfect greens. Greens are small and elevated so accuracy is important. All in all a hair below Starr Pass in terms of quality and layout. But very close. Great value for money. Pace of play was 2 hrs 10 min for 9 holes on a Saturday.

Challenging course

Beautiful views, elevation changes, not many straight fairways, need to stay on the fairways or ball will be lost in desert or rock washes. Course was in great condition!
