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.

Course very beat up!

Large patches of bare dirt on many of the fairways. Greens extremely mottled, soft as a sponge. Also many greens had very rough patches which made putting impossible. The ball actually hopped a lot over the rough patches. We finally instituted a two putt rule. This course is not worth the money.

Amazing!!!

I couldn’t speak more highly of Catalina. Totally different from Sonora course. More traditional layout. Greens are excellent. Fairways are in good condition. Top notch track. And for $100 bucks I’d take it. If you stay at the resort they knock it down to 80 which is great. The restaurants and on course amenities are amazing. Will definitely be back.

Great value for me, a 5 handicap

Loved the course, played Sonoma, shot 79. Greens were holding and tees/fairways were in great shape. Bunkers ranked and plenty of water/bathrooms on course. Loves the practice areas, spent over 1.25 hrs there! Paid $68 after 2pm so great value!

Awful Tucson National

Booked the Catalina course and despite showing the GolfNow reservation they put us on Sonoran course. It’s expensive to play there and they do nothing to make the experience. It was 100 degrees and every water station was completely empty. There was also no ranger. When we got to the 14th tee there were 5 groups on the hole. Sent a message through the GPS system that was completely ignored. We quit after 13 holes because it was so miserable and when we got in the pro shop was closed. Will never play there again

Deceptively Difficult

Always one of the best manicured courses in Tucson. Fast, elevated greens with plenty of bunkers. More traditional layout than all the desert lined courses around here. No carries over the desert so much friendlier for my wife to play. Plenty of lakes that are easy to avoid if played properly.

Way over priced

The only nice part of this resort is the pro shop where they fleece you for $200.00 apiece per round. The bar gave us our beers for the course in a used grocery store plastic bag, the beer cart just parked at the front nine toilets (nice work effort). The layout was no better than our nice muni course back home, which costs $65.00 per round. Cart staff gone when we finished at 4:30.

What a treat!

I’ve been to Tucson a few times and finally had an opportunity to play here. The course was in great condition. I’d been playing desert courses while visiting so the Catalina was quite a change. The starter said, “Play it like you see it” and he was right.

Tournament ready

Great course, not desert at all. Elevated greens make for a tough day of yardages, greens were a little hairy I suspect keeping them nice before tourney starts, less breaks than expected as a result. Will be back!
