Great value

Staff in the pro shop and the starter were excellent. Range balls available for free. Course in great condition and rewards good shots. There are many raised greens so take the extra half club.

Rough Shape

Very surprised the course was in as bad a shape as it was since they just redid the Canada side. Greens were slow and bumpy with many burnt out and bald patches. The fairways also had considerable amount of burnt out spots, some tee boxes didn’t have grass around them. As late as early May the course was looking great when driving by it.

Condition a bit rough

The El Conquistador courses are always on the list for a play here and there when I’m in town. Course condition during the winter was better than the present summer condition. Bermuda has some unevenness right now especially the greens, some of which had dead spots. Maybe grounds crew errors?

Disappointed

Course was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen it. Greens haven’t recovered well from being punched. 90% of the greens are patchy and inconsistent. Still love this course but the greens need some attention.

Disappointed

Love this course. Unfortunately many dry spots on fairways. Greens were extremely bumpy, many bare spots on green as well. Definitely not up to the standard it has been.

Greens awful

Was told the greens were punched 3 weeks before we played and they were but they were awful, bumpy, dry, and overall not playable. The clubhouse was closed due to a “water issue” and only saw the Marshall once all round.

Nice course.

The course was a little dry in some places, so not Plush, but a very nice course. I could see this course being very plush in season. The greens had recently been punched, so there was still some issues with the smoothness of the greens, but still very playable. Many different tee boxes to choose from. The course is not very long but the layout is chanllanging. One thing to note: It would be an extremely difficult course to walk. Some distance between holes is longer then the holes. It would also be very difficult to play without local knowledge. Just getting from one hole to the next is not easy. There is no GPS on the carts, so navigating the course would be benificial if you had some knowledgeable assistance.

Overall - very pleased.

Canada course

The layout of the holes were beautiful. The course conditions were not so good. The greens had recently aerated and have not recovered yet and has not filled in with the bermuda grass. Once this occurs the greens will be receptive to the approach shot. I will be looking forward to playing the course in two to three weeks

Greens decline

Typically play El Con every couple months and find it’s a great value and step up from city course conditions. Playing Cañada yesterday, several greens had bare patches, which is uncommon there. They were also punched so hopefully that helps resolve.

Also, the bar while now heavily signed stopped serving food when we got there just after 2pm.
