Sonoran Course at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort & Spa
Rating Snapshot
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

course Marings
Was hard t find a couple holes on the course because of poor or no direction markings.
Gone downhill
Fairways are poor. Don't waste your money. El Con is in much better condition.
Pretty cool place
Staff was friendly from the bag drop area ,pro shop to the outdoor starter. Played with three members who were very nice and helpful as it was my first time there. Bunkers were pretty decent as well as the tee tops. Greens were quick but fair. Only real problem I really saw were some various dry spots throughout the fairways and that was basically throughout the entire course. For a resort style course with those kind of conditions, maybe a little overpriced. They could probably drop their prices a little bit more.
Not worth the price
The facility was great and the layout and greens were quite challenging. Greens rolled great. Fairways were not in good condition. Very splotchy grass. There are much better options in Tucson for half the price.
Great course & layout
Fun course to play, lots of different holes layout and a good challenge. Only little thing was the fairways were dry so had to move the ball a lot to find nicer grass but since it didn’t rain in weeks, not the course’s foult. Played with the amazing members (Ron, Ron and Brian) who caddied me all day, telling me where to hit and read the greens. Oversll just a great expérience and would definitly recommand.
Great course!
We played both courses and loved both of them! Staff was great! We were treated very well from Joe in the pro shop, the starter and Norm the marshal. We will definitely go back!
VACATION GET AWAY
COURSE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, AWSOME VIEWS. STAFF WAS FRIENDLY
Beautiful mountain and valley views!
Tough but fair layout and the course was in great condition! The shop stuff could brush up on their friendliness and rapport building with guests/visitors. When you pay a premium rate, one would hope a little level of excitement to have us there. The cart guy was more excited to see us and friendlier than the guys in the Pro Shop. Regardless, it was a memorable day and experience. Thanks!
What a Gorgeous Course!
Played the Sonoran course on Halloween. Course was in great shape, greens were immaculate, fairways were in great shape, and the course simply has so many fun and different holes - no risk of it getting repetitive. Price is higher than other courses we played in the Tucson area, but worth every penny. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and we simply had a great day. Really hope to play the Catalina course next time we're in Tucson.
Beautiful desert course
The views on this course are wonderful. The layout is very nice and conditions are excellent. The price is a little high, but this is to be expected as a resort course. The course is a little tight sometimes but not overly challenging. The greens were well maintained but a little slow which was good considering some had pronounced undulations. Water was readily available as well as restrooms.
