El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort

A frost delay but starter did a great job catching up. Price is always a value. Course conditions very nice. Staff always efficient. A bit slow pace but with delay it was acceptable.

Course in good shape, but pace of play was very slow on back nine. This is not usually the case, so I will definitely return. Like everything about the course, especially the employees.

This little nine hole course has everything you want very challenging fairways elevated greens with nice slopes around the holes, which makes it very fun to play. The price is right and the views are spectacular.

Conditions are as perfect as it can be, we had a great time playing 😀 and pro shop was so helpful

The Canada Course is beautifully kept. Great pace, fully green fairways, great pace of play.

Tight fairways on front 9 small green conditions or the course is decent

Courses in great shape starter was really helpful and we really enjoyed the round

We arrived about 9:20 for a 10:20 tee time. The staff declared a 1 hour frost delay. We were the 2nd group to go off. The staff said the 1st group was actually 4 ladies groups playing together. They put 1 group on hole 1, then staggered the others on holes 9,8 and 7. We had to wait until the group that started on hole 7 to play 1 before we could go out. There were literally 5-6 groups waiting for the hole 7 players to clear. This was a bad choice by the staff. Starting them on hikes 1-4 wouldn't have caused the long delay before others could go out

This course is in one of the prettiest locations in Southern Arizona (that is saying a lot, and is sincere). During the round, (I played solo that day), I was treated to seeing a herd of majestic Javalina stroll onto the 3rd hole and linger for a bit-- It was a family of about 20 and they were completely unconcerned about my presence. The fairways were soft and fluffy, allowing for quite a few hits that I just had to stand back and admire their beauty... patting myself on my back and wishing like heck I was not playing solo that day.

The not so great part about playing here is that the putting surfaces are so fast,. Additionally, they are very slope-y... and my theory is that the person in charge of pin placement probably was not hugged very much as child and now sadistically takes it out on golfers by studying the putting surfaces to figure out where the most difficult spots for the cup placements can be charted out.. (That was meant to be funny--but I did find myself thinking, "Cockadoodle ).

I had 3 putts that, on contact, I immediately thought, "Oh crap! I under-hit that!" But then the ball began to pick up speed and ended up so far past the hole that I needed to pack a lunch and extra water to go out and get it. (that was also meant to be funny). On the 4th hole (a beautiful par 3 that has an amazing 50 ft drop and a view that looks fake--its just that beautiful! So anyways, I was putting for birdie (a long putt, but still) and after "barely breathing" on my ball when I tapped it towards the hole, it ended up in a ditch 20 feet below the pin.

Upon returning to the pro shop, I stopped in to see how much it would be to go another round (what can I say... I am apparently a glutton for punishment), and the guy in there was a bit "short" / curt" with me. I always get along with folks, so this was a bit off-putting and I decided to wrap it up and go home instead.

In sharp contrast, the cart guys in the parking lot are always super friendly, a bit professionally playful, and very helpful.

The El Conquistador Canada course has an outstanding layout. The fairways are very well maintained and the greens are better than any public course in the Tucson area that we've played. Sand traps are large, but have enough sand to be fair. We were impressed by the layout which is challenging, but if you play the proper tees for your abilities, it can be a very fun round of golf. Unfortunately, the pace of place was so slow that we didn't get to finish our round due to darkness. The course had a delay due to frost on the course pushing back all the tee times scheduled. We will play the course again hopefully with a faster pace. Otherwise, the course, staff, and people we were paired with were just great.
