About

One of two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses at this Tucson resort, the Canyon Course at The Lodge at Ventana Canyon is classic desert golf, set against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert enhanced by its surroundings of saguaros, deer, roadrunners, quail and birds. The 6,836-yard, par-72 layout rolls through the Esperro Canyon, incorporating a massive formation known as Whaleback Rock in its design. The golf course has several memorable holes, including a couple of difficult par 3s - the 13th and 16th - as well as the reachable par-5 finishing hole, which features a man-made waterfall.

I am down or up canyon for the putt?

Really glad I played the Canyon course because it was very different from mountain courses I have played you had to look to see if you were down or up canyon for the approach and your putts. Sometimes it was very deceiving so you had to look.

Enjoyable round

Had a great day. Course was in good condition. Fairways were a little thin compared to other times I have played but greens and bunkers were great, Pace of play was excellent. Tee off rate was really good, Usually this course goes for atleast 140, so

$80 was a good deal Not having a bar to go to at end of round is one big negative. Don't understantd why the Flying V isn;t open at least for drinks before 5pm

Scenic course

Greens fast and nice layout. Very fair. Excellent practice facility. Some holes are very far apart... but didn’t care too much with the cart.

Canyon course

Enjoyed the views and the holes, little confusing getting hole to hole, but as long as you pay attention it is fine. Sometimes long drives between holes. We had a good pace with no one ever behind and only a few times we waited,us but the round was still close to 5 hours.

Awesomeness

It was still cart path only which made it more of a challenge. This course is in emaculate shape. The greens could use some more water as they were a little dry. They do charge too much money. They never came down over the summer when everydody else lowered there price, they did not. Soooo much fun. Lots of extra walking because of the cart path only. Also a higher score. I really like this course. They have 2 courses so the should never hsve cart path only. I LOVED it though.
