El Conquistador Golf & Tennis - Conquistador Course

WE have played a couple of courses in Tucson where the greens were too hard and fast! This course was hard and fast but not as bad as the others!

I do like both courses, but very annoyed this round. I booked Cañada side through Golf Now, checked in and confirmed it was the Cañada side, waited at first Tee but several groups were there stating THEY had our tee time. Called office and was advised I had the Conquistador course. So much for booking Cañada side and confirming. The course itself was fine.

The traps are generally terrible. Coming through on the back nine after 2:30 pm, there wasn't a trap that didn't have wet sand in them. Couldn't play them as true sandshots because there wasn't enough dry sand go blast them out. Ended up "picking" the ball out of the sand like a pitch shot.

Our only issue was that there was not a ball washer on the course!

Sorta hard to find-gas sends you across the street! Good course for the money, very old course somewhat renovated, ALL elevated greens and tee boxes - skin to the old courses! good rough and fairways! Greens don't entirely hold the high approache shots, but do-able.

First time played. Most greens had multiple levels and quite a bit of slope. Some were a bit thin but overall this course was in good shape and offered a good test.

Very good staff

Nice fairways

Greens had a little desication

Rough was poor shape but typical for this time of year

First time on this side. I played Canada 18 earlier this week and like it better. It's pretty tight but fair. Greens are in good shape. As with most courses here in Tucson, some of the views are breathtaking with the mountains and elevation changes. I would definitely go back. $50 with tax Hot Deal was great.

Course is in perfect shape, nice lush fairways, beautiful greens.

This is a challenging golf course in great condition, highly recommend.

I would rate this at 4.5 stars. The only thing holding it back from an excellent rating was a couple of minor nits - one green that is still recovering and a few bunkers that looked like they needed a bit of work. Truly minor issues. The fairways were immaculate. 17 out of 18 greens were flawless. I loved the desert layout - not boring. If you are a big, wild hitter, a few fairways would be narrow enough to give you anxiety. But I (mid handicapper with a pushed shot problem) did fine. Even the bathrooms out on the course that I used was ver nice. Staff was super friendly. The Starter gave me a great prebrief and gave me some great navigation tips that helped me (e.g., finding the second tee). Water was available on the course. Due to some threatening weather that did not materialize, pace of play was blazing fast (under 3 hours). Really enjoyed the round.

Tee boxes could have been better and a little more flat instead of being like a pitchers mound Fairways were perfect but once you got to the green, there were places very visible that looked like dry patches. Also a lot of unfixed divots on greens which was irritating. Overall, I’d still come back to play but maybe in a month!

First time playing this course. Really enjoyed it. Course was in great shape. Round moved along and finished in 4:20. Staff was friendly and organized. Would definitely recommend this course
