Yet again.

We have been to this course, my wife and I, several times and every time is a good experience! We will definitely play again. It is a challenging course but friendly enough for some what beginners which my wife is. Well worth the booking and will do again soon.

Very good course

Some greens have damage, but limited. Challenging course, but also fun. Overall the course is in good shape.

To top it off course was in poor condition.

Great value for time of year

Played as a single as the 3some paired with me got busted for trying to bring 12 packs of beer with them. Course was in pretty good shape considering the heat. My only beef is that the desk would not let me check in until 15 minutes before my tee time as I purchased a hot deal. So I come back and the desk tells me no problem he'll tell the starter, just go play. Really!?

The course is in great condition

I have played quite a few course this summer, and Canoa Ranch is in the best shape of all of them. The greens roll nicely, look good, & they are very receptive. The fairways are in good condition. The staff is very friendly, all this combined made for a great overall experience. Look forward to a return visit.

The Greens are in Trouble Again

The greens are doing the same stuff they did last year.....around the perimeter of nearly every green, the greens are dead or just plain dirt. The first 1 - 3 feet of greens at the edges are this way. They clearly don't know what they are doing and should have never fired their golf course maintenance consulting firm last summer. So if you need to putt from just off the green...good luck! Better hone your chipping skills. Also, to the previous reviewer who complained they made him wait until his exact tee time even though the tees were empty during his wait....we had a similar experience a couple of months ago. This course and it's sister course need to hurry up and sell, as the current management team is destroying this course's reputation for professionalism.

Nice course

Course was in fair shape but pace of play was excellent and the same with value. I would definitely take advantage of the price and pace of play to return again.

Marginal course management

My complaint is with the course management and starter, who would not let people out on the course early. My partner and I were ready to roll 15-20 minutes ahead of our schedule tee time. There was no one ahead on the first fairway. Instead of sending us out early to avoid bottle necks, he held us, sent two foursomes ahead of us, paired us with another twosome, with a twosome following us. This was on a 90 degree+ day, when standing around is not enjoyed. The starters rationale is that our contract to play was only for our scheduled tee time, not earlier. If that is the way that course play is now managed, then maybe I will find something else to do with my time instead of golf.

Canoa Sunday

Course is well maintained compared to their sister course at Torres Blancas.

Greens were soft and putted true.

Sand traps are maintained but could use more sand.

Fairways for the middle of July in Arizona were good.

No course marshall but pace of play was acceptable (4 hours) for a threesome.

Will play here again.

The greens are back

In February the greens were not playable, but a complete turn around has been achieved and the greens are in near top shape . The course layout has always been fun and requires your good game. Bring a friend.

Great Day of Golf

Have played this course numerous times and almost always enjoy it. Greens have been in bad shape in the past but I felt they are really improving now. Fairways were good and pace was great (we played in 3 hours 15 minutes).
