Pros and Cons.

Sand bunkers are horrible - no sand, hard as a rock and lots if pebbles. Putting greens is very furry and very slow greens. Fairways is in good shape, long carries from green tee boxes making it fun and challenging, and the views of the golf course and mountains was beautiful.

Nice layout but...

Really liked the layout but the greens need to be less bumpy. A lot of poor lies in the middle of the fairway. San Ignacio is in much better shape.

Great place but greens need rolling and bunkers need to be taken out, they are an insult to humanity.

Canoa Ranch

Decent golf course.

I only checked recommend to get out and swing your clubs.

Staff is good, restaurant & bar is good.

It would be so much better if sand traps actually had sand in them.

Always hesitant to bring out of town guests here because sand traps are total embarrassment. Dirt with pebbles and some rocks bigger than your golf ball.

I play as a single by here but usually take out of town guests into Tucson for better course conditions.

Canoa Ranch

Among the most demanding 6100 yard course I have ever played in 60+ years of golf. A lot of forced carries of 175-185 yards . Very fair layout. Only negative was the green side bunkers which need to be removed or designated as ground under repair.

Poor shape

Greens are best up, sand bunkers should be called rock bunkers. 5 hour round, paired up with three golfers. Two shared out of the same bag. Two beginners who know nothing about golf and the father giving instructions to them. Female behind the cash register knows nothing about being professional let alone no personality

Slow today

This is the only time I’ve had slow play here. The front 9 took over 4.5 hrs, the back nine was faster.

Rocks in sand traps

Fairways and greens are barely playable. Sand traps are rock traps. Play all traps as ground under repair because they need major work and a lot of sand. This, and sister course Torres, are great golf courses with bad management. You will not see my group back at either until that changes. In addition, if you are a Golfnow user you are treated as a third citizen. Great courses - bad management - go elsewhere. Canoa Ranch is a resort you should think about avoiding.

I think it is ridiculous when you go to check in and they tell you you are 10 minutes early and you have to come back in 10 minutes to check in I stood there for 10 minutes waiting to speak to the clerk and then she told me I couldn’t check in I had to come back in 10 minutes very inconvenient
