I played this course twice -- Thursday and Saturday. Scored great on the front nine the first round and the other three nines were average for my game. The 8th hole (156 yard par 3) is now my favorite hole in golf with a 6 iron - following my first hole in one. This resort has two courses, this course (Canyon) and the Mountain course. I suspect that low handicappers will prefer the Mountain course, but I enjoyed the Canyon course more -- even before the hole in one. Spring is great for this course. It was in phenomenal shape from start to finish. I would happily travel to Tucson again to play it.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
