Short but not easy

Small undulating greens that slope off to the front and back. This course would benefit from a redo to make play flow faster. Golfers taking multiple second and third tee shots on par threes, and golfers struggling with the greens and keeping balls in play leads to slow play. I think this might be a frustrating course if you expect a quick 9. Elevated small greens and rocky sand traps that catch balls that easily roll off of the greens turn otherwise good shots into trouble.

No Ranger=Slow Play

A foursome held up play without offering us an opportunity to play through. When we finally skipped a hole to go around, we found two holes open. A ranger on the course could have solved this issue. The course winds through neighborhoods and shopping centers. The carts have no GPS. The views are spectacular. Quarry Pines is a better course and value. Just my opinion.

One of pair they put with us was a chatterbox and got worse the more he drank. Really distracting Greens are very well maintained. Could use more signage for cart paths, especially hole 15 that runs along a street.

Great condition

Fairways & greens (fast) were in great condition. Pace of play was excellent with 3.25 hour round as a foursome. Price reasonable.

Go play either of these ElCon courses.

Definitely better than 4 stars

Loved my round here. Very impressed with the plushness of the grass, shape of the greens, and challenge of the layout. Would absolutely play again and not as extreme of target golf as other places I've played in Tucson. That being said, it's definitely not a grip and rip style golf course.

Nice Solid Golf Course

We only played the front 9 of the Canada Course.

I’m an 8 handicap who hits his driver about 230 and I found I should hit 3 wood on most holes except for the 1st par 5 as the balls can run through the fairways if you don’t hit the right shape and line. It feels a little short. Very challenging layout with perfect greens. Greens are small and elevated so accuracy is important. All in all a hair below Starr Pass in terms of quality and layout. But very close. Great value for money. Pace of play was 2 hrs 10 min for 9 holes on a Saturday.

Challenging layout. Elevated small greens are really difficult. Poor grass on the greens. A couple of holes are really tight.

Challenging course

Beautiful views, elevation changes, not many straight fairways, need to stay on the fairways or ball will be lost in desert or rock washes. Course was in great condition!
