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.

Good course but over priced for summer

Staff was friendly and it included range balls but $70 for summer rates was wAy too much for this course. Many holes were very similar with left to fight slope and lost if bunkers and large green with many undelatuons. Just thought over priced compared to several top courses I played at much less. A bit disappointed fir the price.

Great course!

First time playing Tucson National. Challenging but fair course. Was largely in great shape for mid-May, except there were a few wet spots. But the greens were in phenomenal shape. Held well and rolled true.

Enjoyable round.

This is my second time playing Catalina, the first time being shortly before the Cologuard Classic. The course is fun and challenging without being punitive. Even the short par 5s are well protected with water, trees, and doglegs.

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Bunkers need work, lacking sand.

I would and will play it again.

Restrooms anyone?

The greens and fairways were in substandard condition. Worse than that was the lack of restrooms. We only found out AFTER the round that a we had a key to get us into the pool at the turn to use the restrooms there. Even worse, the only restrooms on the back nine were a pair of porta-potties.

Gravelly Sand

We enjoyed playing but the poor quality of the sand (if you can call it sand) was very disappointing. Considering the greens fees we paid the bunkers should have been better dressed.

My favorite course in Tucson

Pricey by Tucson standards, but well worth it! Classic layout. You have to be on your game to play well but not overly demanding like a desert course.
