Canoa Ranch Golf Club

Had to upgrade to a king suite, with outdoor balcony. The gave me a room across from the ice machine. Ugh

Certainly an interesting course. The rating may be closer to a 3.5 but I went ahead and rounded up. An unusual fact about the course is that there are six par 3s ... and they were all pretty challenging. They were relatively long, and like a lot of holes on the course, there is significant desert scrub between the tee boxes and the fairways. If playing from either of the two back tees, you need some distance and accuracy to clear the scrub and get to the fairway/green. The surfaces - tee boxes, fairways and greens - were in pretty good shape; there were some good views of the Sierrita Mountains; a very friendly staff; and good food in The Grill on The Green. My brother and I agreed that this is a course worthy of a return.

Course is in good shape and price was fair. Had a bev cart present and food after golf was good. Will be back.

The golf course is a jewel. Good tee boxes, excellent fairways and very good greens. This is a good test of your ability to keep the ball in play and out of the many fairway and green side bunkers. Multiple sets of tees allows you to play the length of course that suits your game. A word about the desert rough...don't go there. The lies in there are mostly unplayable and there are things that bite that inhabit the overgrown areas. The pro shop has a good selection of all of the things that you need for your golf game and a friendly staff to get you on the first tee. The grill is a great place to finish up your round. The food was very good, well presented and the wait staff was attentive and professional. Overall great day at the course and I look forward to coming back again soon.

I played this course in July, and it was in excellent shape! I will play again soon!Tee to green in tip top condition. The par 3's are long and challenging.

I come here often because the views are amazing and it is a relaxing course to play. Played a few times here this summer and the greens are nice. The fair ways are nice as well and I love the curves of a lot of the holes. There is alot of wildlife to be seen as well and I love seeing the beverage cart regularly. They provide ice and a cart cooler to keep your beverages cool as well and the water coolers on the course are always full and cold.

We love playing this course because of the beautiful views. Challenging enough for modest players. We felt the course was in good shape today. Lost a few balls in the desert scruff, but otherwise had a good round. Water available every few holes. No beverage cart today. We will return often. Update 3/30/19...course is still worthwhile, challenging play with great scenery. However, the staff was less than stellar today, from the pro shop to the starter. Pro shop staff personnel was rude to customers and unapologetic to the couple in front of us who made tee times on golf now that she refused to honor. Offered no help to remedy the situation. They appeared to be short staffed all the way around. Saw the beverage cart once in 18 holes. Will not return until Fall.

They sent me and my father out on the back nine first. This turned out to be a good move on the part of the club house. If I'd seen the course in the other order I may have scored it differently. We were impressed by the mountain views, but distressed by the lack of respect shown to the course by those who came before us. The greens were literally pockmarked by unrepaired ball marks, the fairways neglected, and the rough was littered with cigarette butts and empty soda cans. The holes themselves were nicely challenging, with a lot of rolling hills, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that this was a course still under construction.Then came the front nine. Wow. They had a couple of named holes out back, but the front ones really deserve to be their signatures. The second and ninth specifically are bears. The front is what golf can be. The back is what it (unfortunately) often is. I'd recommend this course, but not over San Ignacio and Canoa Hills just up the street (I haven't played them recently enough to review them, but from memory they'd merit 4 and 5 stars, respectively).

Nice golf course but ...1. The course is surrounded by millions of acres of desert but, they can't find sand to put in the sand traps, go figure2. The golf pro should invite a friend to play the course for the first time. Let the friend drive the cart and don't tell the friend how to find the 10th tee. Guaranteed to be an embarrasing experience. Zero signs directing you to the 10th tee. I wonder how many people end up going the wrong way through the dark tunnel that ends up at the 18th green?3. The cart guy who is stuck in the 60s needs to realize that he has a job because people come to play golf. He acts like people are playing golf becaause he is there. By the way, he acted like I was interrupting his day because I couldn't find a sign directing golfers to the 10th tee. If your tired of answering the question, make a suggestion to someone who cares and get signs installed.

I've played this course many times growing up, and think it's very beautiful and have always had a pleasant time. Today was different. I had one of the worst customer service experiences in my life. The starter who was supposed to be helping us tee off, was extremely rude to my mother and step-dad, insulting their intelligence and swearing right to our face. My mom was going to play out of my bag, but also paying to play, we were not going to cheat them out of any money. Obviously that was an issue for their employee.When confronted, he was immature and obscene. Also, I felt like I might have smelled alcohol on his breath. We did not play at Canoa Ranch. Go to Tubac instead.
