El Conquistador Tucson, A Hilton Resort

Great course for starting your year from the winter doldrums of the north. The course was in very good shape. They are in a water restriction period but the course is holding up well. I pulled one of my brain dead moments and arrived a day early. They were able to accommodate us. Tom asked if it was our first which it was an he was instrumental to tell us to go up a club on the up hill shots. Thanks Tom came in handy more than once. Some holes needed two dependant upon wind. My wife and I are looking forward to our return in the future. She also loved the proshop especially the fact there was more women's clothing than most shops. Great job!

The course was beautiful and in great shape ! I have played golf across the United States and I have never had such a poor assistance from the staff ! From the minute of arrival until leaving the staff acting as if I was a burden instead of assisting in any way ! Starter, Marshals , cart attendant were all rude and acted as if they were to busy to answer any questions or provide in assistance from finding the assigned cart , to direction where the first tee began! A shame for such a beautiful setting !

Beautiful coarse in great condition, but with all the bunkers garding greens they need softer sand so you can get out

Large dead patches in the fairways

And the greens are dried out as well

Greens were the worst we’ve ever played on. Clover, weeds. Not sure but awful. Fairway was like cement. If you like a good roll then good for you.

Compared to other years I've played here, clearly course maintenance has deteriorated. Tee boxes were beat up, greens were very shaggy etc. I realize it's been record breaking heat this week, but poor course conditions compared to other years I've played.

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, from the moment we arrived to check-in, we were guided to where to the starter was. We were paired with one other but were given a choice to either let him play ahead or create the foursome, we weren't forced to play together so we were able to maintain our good pace without holding the gentleman ahead of us. Only thing that there was a tournament before we arrived so there was no Ice for the ice chest and there was not going to be a drink cart going around to our side, so we had to purchase our drinks at the Pro Shop, prior to commencing. Overall Experience and Play were Excellent.

The view is amazing. The course isn't too terribly hard but it's still fun and challenging. Pace of play was great.
