What an AWFUL experience

Course itself was OK, average condition and layout. But everything else about it is just BRUTAL. Can't believe Troon manages this place this poorly - friendly outside staff but ignorant inside staff. The problems included:
Played on a perfect Wednesday at 11:50 and it was a 5-hour round. Foursome in front of us was brutally slow with nobody in front of them. Course stacked up behind them. Inexcusable.
No ranger on the course.
No beverage cart on the course.
Canada course never returns to clubhouse during the entire 18, so having nobody on the course at all means you're on your own for 5 hours. If staff in pro shop had at least mentioned that nobody was working on the course at all we could've at least prepared. Bad customer service and bad business - we would have bought food and drink from them prior to tee off.
Course has no yardages marked anywhere other than the 100/150/200 markers. No sprinkler heads are marked, no GPS on cart, no yardage guides... nothing. Not even a map of the holes on the scorecard, so you have no idea where holes go or how far anything is. Very frustrating, especially when playing holes where it's not all right there in front of you to see off the tee. Again... maybe something that the staff should mention before sending us out.
Inside staff is clueless. Every interaction with them made it clear they are inexperienced or poorly trained.
At one point I tried to call the clubhouse from the course. The phone number on the card goes to their tee time reservation system and puts you on hold for 3-5 minutes. It took three calls before someone ever picked up. Even then, once I was finally transferred to the pro shop, I got some clueless kid who said he was all alone in there. His only solution to the myriad of problems was to talk to the head pro when we finished. Needless to say, we will NEVER come back - especially with so many other options for golf in the area. Just a terrible golf experience. Nothing but a money grab by Troon and the city of Oro Valley with no regard for customer service.

Beautiful tricky course

The course was in great condition and the carts were a pleasure to drive: responsive, quiet and nicely equipped. It’s not my husband‘s favorite course because the fairways are kind of narrow, So it’s easy to lose some balls. He lost a couple and I lost one brand new one, but I also found at least three ha ha!
As for level of play I would consider myself an advanced beginner: I can get to the green in two or three strokes, but then it usually takes me at least that many to get her done!

Great pre-Easter round

Course is in great shape, greens are rolling. Both courses are the best value for the quality in Tucson! Pace of play was great, played the round in 4 hours 10 minutes, really good for middle of the day on a Saturday.

Satisfying course

A really enjoyable course.
Only downside was that I played with a friend - intended two ball.
Unfortunately had no choice in being assigned to two strangers to play with us to create 4-ball.
Couldn’t really see why we couldn’t play two ball because the course was not overly busy.
Other than that, the course was in good condition….greens were really well kept.

Greens in great condition!

Had a nice round at Conquistador. Course is in pretty good winter condition. Greens were great to putt on. Smooth & fast! Lots of undulations on fairways & greens. Plenty of challenge!
