Challenging Course
Not sure what to expect given that it was only 9 holes but was pleasantly surprised. Has a lot of various green layouts (elevated to down grades) making it challenging. A lot of the side line has cactus (that will bite), so you don't spend much time looking for a lost ball. One hole is surrounded on 3 sides by water with steep slopes on the edge of the green, so if you don't place it on the green properly there is a good chance your ball will roll into the water.
I walked the course, which was fairly easy. One pathway from the tee box to green (7th hole) was under repair meaning that I had to walk an extra distance (seemed like a half mile at least). Once that is repaired, walking would be no issue.
Like most courses in the area there is no discount for walking and not taking a cart. It's funny, because in Canada it is extra to take a power cart. Walking is the norm.
Canada course
Tee boxes and fairways were perfect, greens are in great shape but not typical flat greens. Lots of up and down slopes, so if you want to score well bring your A game on putting. It’s been awhile since I’ve enjoyed a track this nice.
Slow play makes the round not good.
With no Marshalls on the course and lots of senior citizens on the course, slow play was brutal
Pace of play terrible.
Course conditions were fine, GolfNow had good prices but the pace of play was terrible.
Round ends with 3 par 3’s ????????
Course was like playing on to of saucers! Greens were not good!
Target practice layout
It's a good course. Not really "resort" course quality, more like a muni. No GPS in carts, no water bottles provided. They run tee times on 8 minute intervals so 4.5 hours at minimum.
The layout is target practice. Plenty of doglegs and elevation changes on the course. Both uphill and elevated tee box par 3's. Heavy slopes around greens so you need to hit them. Lots of levels on many greens with some challenging pin locations. Not many holes where having distance helped you. Hole 16 has the best view - elevated tee box par 5 into the mountains. There was a water hazard on 2 holes but it didn't really come into play.
Narrow fairways. Plenty of desert rocks and shrubs that balls roll into. Course is in a residential community so expect barking dogs/music, even had some people who were walking their dogs on the course and watching us. You don't finish hole 9 at the clubhouse, no way to order food at the turn. Drink cart came around 2x.
Starter would shout at everyone on the practice green/range when it was their turn, and there's 2 courses going off every 8 minutes, kind of a weird set-up here. Starter would push people up tee time slots at his discretion, sent a five-some off after us.
Greens were soft and ran fast. Fairways were overseeded and had good roll out. Rough is limited to green areas and only about an inch. Tee boxes were not level on several holes. Pin placement made for a difficult day.
Challenging and fun
This course has several unique holes to keep it interesting. Elevated greens are common so use an extra club or two on your approach. Greens were excellent, fast and rolled true. Fairways were also in good shape. Staff was very friendly. The only knock was one beverage cart for the whole course.
Great Value Fun to Play
I was able to play solo and I was not disappointed. The course was beautiful, challenging, and fun to play. After passing one four-some I played free of any slow downs or push from behind. The price and value was outstanding and I look forward to playing there again next time in Tucson. A real golf jewel if 9-holes fits your game. It did for me.
El Con Canada Course
Course in great shape for winter golf. Beautiful views! Restaurant was decent with good service.
