Catalina Course at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa
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

Golfer Reviews
Solid golf
In my opinion the Tucson National is a must play if you are the Tucson area. Great track with great shot value
cart path only only drawback
From the moment we dropped off our clubs till we finished just a great day. Even had the marshall take picture of our group Played in 4 hours wonderful
Great Shape
Best shape of any course in Tucson. The greens are beautiful. Great views of Catalina Mountains.
Beautiful layout
Beautiful course and scenery, but it would've been nice to know the greens were scalped in preparation of overseeding. Greens wouldn't hold and were difficult to judge speeds.
catalina course at Omni Tucson Golf Resort
Was told the course was in prime condition and when we played 2 days later, the greens had been scalped, were brown and quite possibly the worst greens I have ever played on in 40 years of golf
Stay on the fairways
While many of the area courses are closed for overseeding, this course has done some minor preparation for closing. The fairways were nice, the rough was extremely thick, and the greens slightly bumpy. My recommendation is to avoid the rough at all costs. We lost balls just off the fairways due to the deep rough.
great course in good shape!
The Catalina course is in pretty good shape for this time of year. The rough is super thick right now so finding your ball can be difficult. The greens are a little bumpy but not bad. The fairways are great and the bunkers are good.
A break from the typical desert courses
Great course with a "midwestern" flavor - not a cactus in sight.
As a twosome, we were stuck behind a slow hacker foursome - the ranger was no help as long as our overall pace was 4 hours.
Tough test
Sonoran Course is a tough test of golf. Bunkers come into play and the Catalina Mountains influence the speed and break to your putts.
Like the course very much.
nice
hole ten is kind of strange. tee shot needs to be placed right edge of fairway! they need water faucet or fountain (not the refillable jug) at cart staging area!
Good deals
Golf now dot com provides good rates of the golf games, we will mostly to get the tee time from golf now dot com to play the games.
Catalina Course Review
The check in greeting, pro shop staff, and starter were excellent. Practice range set up was a bonus. The course was in great shape.
Good esatablihsed course
The catalina course at Omni Tucson National is very good. The whites are 6600 and provide plenty of challenge. Greens are in good shape and challenging to hit, frequently protected.
My favorite part about this course is that I think it has the best trees in Tucson. These are not desert tress, these are big trees lining the fairway frequently and genuinely affect your play, in the good challenging way, especially on 11.
Art
Course was in good condition, weather could not have been better for July. Towel person was a little late, found us on 18. One of the best ranges in Tucson.
