Rating 70.9

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.

This course was great

From the time you arrive, to the time you leave, you are treated like a special guest. I was not staying at the resort, but treated as though I were. From the gentleman who greets you on arrival, to the pro shop, to the grill/bar, to the starter, everyone I came in contact with was friendly and helpful. The course was pristine, and was maintained as though there were a PGA tournament taking place. I look forward to playing this course again, and will highly recommend it to my friends.

Gotta love this course

We had a great time, the course was in pristine shape and ultimately it was a memorable round, especially the 15 foot flag stick on the steep up hill par 4. Also, watching Mark M. be stoked for the entire round because he was finally playing here after growing up in Tucson and wanting to his whole life was priceless.

The course was definitely a 5-star resort course, very playable

I felt this course was challenging but fair. The differences in tees is quite severe. I played the "Whites" which was 6600 yards (Blues at most courses), which for my handicap index of a course 10 was about right. The guys I played with used a non-advertised "Red/White" tee mix (on a special scorecard), which was about 6000 yards and they did have a distinct advantage. If your handicap is >12 I would say ask for the Red/White scorecard and you will enjoy the course a lot more.

this course has well protected greens. Accuracy is most important for a good score.

Course plays well, although accuracy is required, especially around greens which are well protected by lots of bunkers in front and back.

Good "old style" course

Played as a single and the course was not too busy, so I got around fast. The course itself was in good shape and the holes were pretty straight-forward.
All in all, an enjoyable experience. Just wish I'd played better.
I'd go back again when I'm in the area.

One of the best golf resorts in Tucson!

For many years I have been playing at Tucson National and it is only getting better. The two course option gives you all the play one could want, if it be a local or guest! Golf now always seems to get you a great rate. The food and beverage is great and the staff both golf and wait are spot on. I wish the Tucson Open would return to Tucson National what a great venue!

I played the Sonoran Course, This is a great desert course. You must hit the fairway off the Tee.

Outstanding conditioning, good sand in bunkers, well groomed fairways and greens. Position off the tee is important for approach shots. Staff, pro shop, greeters to beverage cart are very courteous.

Beautiful all around

We played the Catalina course. Enjoyed every part of it. Lots of long, traditional golf. With a 1:24 tee time on Nov.24, we finished the 18th hole at dusk. I'm glad we were able to play the hole as it was beautiful.

Great value when booked with golfnow

We booked with golfnow for a shotgun start and the rate was fantastic. The course was in great shape and other than the cart path on everyhole we had a great day. Beautiful views were a bonus.

Very nice course

Tucson national is a very nice course. Conditions were pretty good to and it was the week before overseeding ....alot more big trees than other courses because its in a valley but fairways very open. Nice practice facilities but not much as far as a "clubhouse ".. great value! Will definitely play again.
