Love the layout

We play mid day during the heat when we have the course mostly to ourselves. Pace is not slowed and we enjoy it more. Love this place.

Beware recently punched greens

I do like playing C Ranch but I get really ticked off when no mention of green punching is mentioned on their website or on GolfNow. The greens had been recently punched and not very well sanded so it will take longer to heal. No discount was given nor was there a sign at the proshop warning of of the conditions.

SO DISAPPOINTED

I called on Tuesday afternoon for a Wednesday, May 12th, Tee-Time. I was not told anything about the course condition or the fact that they had punched the greens on the back nine that day. Further, they failed to tell me that they would be punching the front nine greens the next day (the day I was to play).

So when we show up, we're told that we would be playing the back nine twice. Since is was now too late to get a similar tee-time at another nearby course, we decided to play. BIG MISTAKE.

What kind of customer service is it when they don't advise you when requesting a tee time that the conditions won't be what you would expect. I've played this course before and, other than the bunkers being nearly unplayable, it has always been in decent condition and warranted a repeat play. But now, I don't know if I will ever be back (and I live only six miles away). I've played dozens of golf courses in my life and I've been advised, when requesting a tee-time, of overseeding, aeriating, flooding, et. al. numerous times. I was always grateful of their honesty and rewarded such with a future booking. It's unfortunate that I can't say the same for Canoa Ranch.

Not Informed

Arrived 6:30am. Discovered that the front 9 was closed for plugging and sanding. Told we can play back 9 twice, but that it had been plugged and sanded too. We left. Should have had this information before booking.

Gravel Pit Bunkers

Course is fun and challenging, however, the bunkers appear to be more Quarry Pit than Sand. Not like there is a dearth of sand in Tucson, it's a desert.

Saw the refreshment cart twice, first time at the second hole, and then at the Clubhouse/Turn.

Pace of play was slow, but it was Mother's Day so no biggie.

Changing hole # from a four to a five will really enhance birdie opps for the average golfer.

Minor inconveniences, I'd play here again

Fun Course

Neither a bombers course nor a short hitters haven. Fairways were mostly good and the greens rolled true.

Pace of play was S L O W, but it was Mother's Day.

Saw the beverage cart twice, once on the 2d hole and at the turn.

Course is laid out pretty well, a couple of goofy holes but overall an enjoyable round.

Please drive carefully

Worth the drive from Tucson on a cool day with few golfers on the course. Pro shop won't check you in until 15 mins before tee time if you pre-pay. I don't know what that's about, but it didn't spoil the day.

Great course-rocky traps

Course improvement since last year is noticeable. Green side traps either need eliminating (grass bunkers would be preferable). Because they are hard as a rock! Otherwise very enjoyable time...Paul Forsyth
