Canoa Hills opened its gates in 1998 as one of Green Valley’s early 55+ developments by Pulte Homes. Its master plan emphasized native desert preservation, open community spaces, and panoramic mountain views from every neighborhood lot. From its inception, the Canoa Hills Golf Course set a high standard for desert golf, weaving fairways through saguaros and mesquite groves. Over the past two decades, Canoa Hills has retained its original charm—pristine common areas, desert-friendly landscaping, and a robust club culture—while consistently enhancing recreation facilities and expanding social offerings to meet the evolving interests of active adults. Today, it remains one of Southern Arizona’s most coveted retirement destinations.
