CANADA COURSE
Arizona Golf Course Review
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 6636 yards/135 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.
