An Annual Vacation Challenge

This 9-hole course is very pretty. I played it last year on a much hotter day, but yesterday's round was played on a moderately warm day. Looking over and up at the nearby mountain range is great, especially if you aren't regularly playing courses that are built right beside a small set of mountains. You must keep the ball in the fairway to avoid double-bogey or worse on a hole. The course was in great shape. The putting greens were excellent, allowing the ball to roll smoothly towards the cup.

Improvements made…

Free range balls, nice putting green for warm up. Canada 18 has new pumps and water lines installed, reseeded, ready for winter play.

Greens (surprisingly) normal speed considering just opened after reseed, will get faster as cut shorter. Newly added (finer) bunker sand is also a plus.

No waiting during entire round (Sunday?) and excellent overall on course experience. Starter and ranger friendly but overzealous (we saw no one, held no one up, yet they were on our foursome to keep up (?)

Overlook restaurant in clubhouse good (when open), friendly staff. Everything priced right, will be even better when Conquistador 18 opens with reseeding.

Both courses worth one’s time.

It's in great condition

The course is in the best shape that it has been in years. Newly leveled tee boxes and attention to the greens are great improvements from last year. The grounds crew has done a fantastic job mowing the fairways and fringe around the greens.

Always

This is always a fun course to play. Great layout and in good shape. Wish they would aerate fairways to soften them but it’s not an Arizona thing I guess. Enjoy this course and I’ll be back

Good course

Good course usually. Condition of the course was a little brown probably because it was going to be over seeded shortly. Greens seemed to be good. Pace of play better than many times in the past. Staff friendly.

Very poor couse conditions

The course was in very poor condition. Thin fairways, lousy aprons, horrible sand trap conditions, fair greens. etc. Will not play again under these circumstances.

Love El Conquistador……

But, as it’s that time of year for overseeding & renovation work, the course is probably in its worst condition in all the years I’ve played it. Understandable, as the Canada course is closed and they’ve stopped watering/maintaining this side.

Pace of play was good on front nine, but came to a standstill on the back nine, with 2-3 groups backing up on the tee box. Bunkers were hard with very little sand. The staff is always great & they are doing their best in light of the circumstances. Lastly, I’m all for courses making money & covering expenses, but they’re a bit overpriced considering course conditions.

Pace of play a bit slow

Took 2.5 hours to play front nine, waiting on all tee boxes and on fairways. I usually enjoy this course quite a bit, but yesterday, I bailed after nine.

Will be back because I like the course, and hopefully pace of play will improve.

On course cart rep

Drink cart more interested in chit chat with 4 some in front of us. Twice, took at least 10-15 mins after they left the hole and preventing us from hitting into the green, to chit chat - assume for larger tip.
