Catalina Course at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
About
The Catalina Course is one of two golf courses at Omni Tucson National Resort. It is more well known than its sister course, the Sonoran, since it is both the original layout and it has been host to over 30 PGA Tour events over the years. The Catalina Course is a traditional parkland layout while the Sonoran offers true desert golf, as its name would imply. The challenging design incorporates eight sparkling lakes and a total of 80 bunkers strategically placed throughout. The 18th is touted as one of the finest and most demanding finishing holes on the PGA Tour. This tricky par 4 leaves little room for error with water along both sides of the fairway, it also requires a blind tee shot to a well-protected, elevated green.

#16 plays fairly steeply uphill. I was 16 inches for a birdie, after hitting a solid 135 club from 109 out. Photo submitted by Jonathan5270953 on 08/14/2013

Great time to play
1/3 the price as during the season and same nice course
Get out here
This course is in such good shape right now. I've played it twice and it was $80 each time. It's worth that and more. It is hot, they do have water, very girls and someone driving around with cold towels. Greens are a 9 or 10. It's a good time for the heart and the money
Golfing Amenities and Staff
Great layout
Great customer service
(Clubhouse, starter, course amenities, cold towels)
Nice course
Played the dessert course in summer so price was good. If you like dessert courses this one was nice. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. Member groups basically stopped play so bad I didn’t even finish my round.
Don't book within an hour of a member group if you can avoid it.
Get out there
This place is in tip top shape. Enjoyed the course so much, the greens didn't break as much as you think. Great time to play for $80. Wait a little later and $55.
Highly Disappointed
Been waiting to play this course for years, heard wonderful things. Was super disappointed. Layout is really traditional with a little character. Super tight. Placement golf is a must. The conditions were horrid, bare spots in the fairway, dead greens that didn’t roll true at all. Rock hard bunkers. Tee setup could be drastically tweaked imo. Three major sets of tees are 7300, 6600 and 5700. Most casual golfers are most comfortable around the 6000-6300 range. Not having a set of tees in that range seems silly to me and made the course almost impossible for me at 6600 but would’ve been way too short at 5700. After monsoon season I’m hoping the conditions will improve drastically. This course seems to have a ton of potential.
Summer Rates
Awesome course when you get to pay summer rates. Great lay out and challenging holes.... would love to play other side.
Tucson Omni Golf
This course is in outstanding condition. The staff was very accommodating. Would love to play it again.
Fun Sonora course
Fun course. Being paired up with strangers on the same cart is a poor rule at this club and for the game. Especially at slower times. Unfortunately some of the staff and other golfers/members aren’t very friendly about letting you take your own cart.
