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

catalina course - tucson nat'l Photo submitted by bellefeuille on 11/25/2012
Great Value!
We played the Catalina course on a very windy day. The course is an old school design and wasn't in prime condition when we played. Still very playable but not immaculate. The Sonoran course was still closed but looked like the better layout and will probably be pristine when they open it again in a few weeks. The Catalina course is probably a 4 star when in prime condition. I only say this when compared to other high end courses in the Tucson area and the Sonoran course. The facility is great if not a bit isolated. If you were staying for a few days this facility would be a wonderful time as there are two courses and a great practice area. For the price we paid it is a great value and totally worth the money.
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.
Tucson National going down hill
Lots of bare spots on fairways. Greens aerated late and still bouncy. Members r very rude. Won’t go back til I hear back from others. Sad. Was once the pride of NW Tucson
Sonoran Course Excellent Condition!
Summer twilight rate you just can’t beat. Highly recommend. Super fast round. Good views. Well kept course.
Amazing course
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.
great place to play
Friendly staff from Started and Course Marshall. The Food Cart Rep was friendly as well. Treat yourself to this course.
Omni Outing
