Sonoran Course at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa
About
The Omni Tucson National Resort offers two championship courses that offer two distinctly different rounds. The Catalina Course, the resort's original course, offers a more traditional parkland layout while the Sonoran Course offers a challenging game of true desert golf. Although Catalina is the more famous of the two for hosting a number of PGA Tour events over the years, the Sonoran is just as formidable a test despite being 600 yards shorter than its sister course. Sonoran features a tricky, undulating terrain that is covered with 69 large, strategically placed bunkers. Two lakes come into play throughout the golf course as well. In addition to a number of challenging holes, the layout offers interesting risk-reward opportunities including drivable par 4s. One of the most notable holes is the 15th, a dramatic par 5 that requires a blind approach uphill to a bunkered 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
Nice course.
This is a very fair course to play. No surprises, it's all right in front of you. I love playing here.
Monsoon
First time in Tucson. First time on this course. First time experiencing a monsoon. Too bad they all occurred on the same day. Didn't get a chance to finish 18 holes. Played with a couple from the area. They were so much fun. Was told this is the first rain in months. Well that's my luck.
Outstanding resort course
Golf course was in great shape. This course is a fair test for all skill levels. I would recommend this course to anyone that is looking to play in the Tucson area. The golf course staff was friendly and helpful, making for an enjoyable round of golf.
Hot in the summer but plenty of shade trees.
I love an old and established golf course and this one is a great example. Plenty of shade trees when its hot in the summer and water on about every third or fourth hole...trust me, you'll need it. Hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did.
Awesome
In a word Awesome, even with punch greens and some sand., but there was very little affect on putting the ball rolled pretty well. Course is AWESOME.
Very fair golf course
Excellent golf course, First time there staff were very helpful. Greens were awesome for June. Fairways in great condition. Very nice practice facility. Cant wait to go back !
Love this course
Great course always in good condition. I love more than anything when going as a single they let you have your own cart. I love that!
Great course and staff
Everyone was very nice the staff went out of their was to make sure stay and golf was good
Beautiful course with a great staff and amenities.
This is a resort course, actually two 18 hole courses, with each course presenting many challenging holes. I played the Catalina course which has 5 par fives. This course was played in the past by the PGA for the Tucson Chrysler Open. There is talk now of possibly getting a Champions Tour tournament soon.
A great experience with the staff
Everyone was helpful in getting the cart loaded and answering general course questions. We only had time for 9, and the staff got us out a little earlier. The greens were in really good shape even though it was 110 degrees at 12:30 PM.
Wow Views
The course and the greens were in fantastic shape, my playing partners were not very good and play was very slow (5 hours). What makes these two 18 holes courses are the incredible views they offer of the Catalina mountains, take the time to enjoy them
Tucson National
Course was in excellent condition and was well worth the green fees. We were not held up and paired with a very nice couple visiting from Colorado. The practice facilities including the chipping and bunker areas were excellent. Highly recommend this course.
This course has great features
The staff was fabulous. Andres made us fell so welcome. I believe he felt as if he couldn't do enough for us. I will be back..
PLAY THIS COURSE!!!!!!!!!
We were able to get a GolNow.com rate of $29 for 18 and cart. What a steal. I would have gladly paid full price for this gem. Ample fairways, greens that held iron shots, bunkers in good shape, elevation changes, course was well marked, saw the beer cart 4 times during our round, staff in pro shop was super friendly. All around very very wonderful facility. You have to make it a point to play here. There are two 18 hole courses on the complex, we played the Sonoran, going back soon to play the Catalina!
Excellent course conditions
Tees, fairways, aprons and greens, all in great shape.
Ranger was friendly and very helpful in speeding up play.
Tough finishing holes!
The course plays longer than the yardage, but it is playable and quite fair. Numbers 9 and 18 are very challenging, to say the least. Its difficult to figure out where to hit your drive because of water and trees on #9 and water on both sides of the fairway on #18. If you keep it in play on either hole, the second shot is no picnic, either. Both are long, uphill and into the prevailing wind.
Course is in excellent condition
Challenging course in excellent condition. Fairways were like hitting off a plush carpet and greens were in superb condition. Sand comes into play on every hole, so this course is for those who can hit where they're aiming.
