The two 18-hole and the beautiful 9-hole Pusch Ridge courses all feature effecient on-course marking systems, with 150 yard stakes in the middle of the fairways, sprinklers heads measured to the front,
middle and back of the greens, plus yardage blocks at 100 and 200 yards. Color coded flags indicate the day's hole locations.
CANADA COURSE
Arizona Golf Course Review 2/20/05
The Canada Course measures 6713 yards from the tournament tees and is a tight, desert lined layout with undulating greens and great course conditions that make for an enjoyable golf experience.
Elevation changes and interesting doglegs will keep golfers on their toes, as they discern which clubs to
use. Those playing it for the first time will have to pay attention to the lay of the land. Usually an extra club is necessary on the approaches.
Many of the fairways present a bowl affect, affording slightly off-line tee shots an opportunity to funnel down to playable landing areas. The up and down nature of the terrain, with gorgeous views of the
surrounding mountains and desert - are aspects that keep us coming back for golf in Arizona, and especially Tucson. The vistas here are as good as it gets!
The four sets of tees on Canada play to distances and slopes measuring 6626 yards/130 slope, 6183 yards/126 slope, 5730 yards/118 slope for men and 136 for women, and 5093 yards with a slope of 125
from the forward tees. Many of the tee shots head downhill, while most of the green complexes play back uphill, with mounds and undulations and understated bunkering along the way.
The Canada is a good complement to the Conquistador and Pusch Ridge layouts, which together provide the largest golf complex in Tucson. The resort is first class all the way, with great stay and play
packages available year round - and the 45 holes of golf are memorable. For more info on the Canada course, visit their page on our web catalog of courses to play in Tucson by clicking here.
