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

catalina course - tucson nat'l Photo submitted by bellefeuille on 11/25/2012
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
Great time. Perfect weather and great course conditions and friendly staff.
A must golf
Perect conditions on the course, from tee box to green. Greens played perfect. Service from when you get there, outside services greated me at my parking spot loaded up my cart. Shop guys, cool as can be. Starter gave great course advice, beverage girls kept me hydrated on time. Oh yeah practice facilities....very nice.

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.
Special Day
We had a wonderful day playing Catalina course at Tucson National. Members that we played with were very gracious. Course was in very nice shape. Greens were very challenging to read.
Very golfer friendly
Wanted to play the Catalina course but due to daily rotation played the Sonora course. It was a great and fair test, good shots rewarded, offline shots not severely punished. Course was in great shape. Pace of play was excellent. Starter was very helpful. Teed off at 2pm finishing at dusk. Will definitely play again!
