Ventana Canyon - Canyon Course

Difficult but playable . The mountain views are outstanding.

Ventana canyon has two exceptional golf courses, the mountain and the canyon. I played the mountain course at 6000 yards. This was a combination of gold and silver tee boxes. I am a 14 handicap and this setup was perfect for my game. If you play either courses, be sure to bring a camera. The mountain views of the Catalinas are spectacular.

Great day of golf. Only problem was there was no beverage person on the course.

If you have trouble on some desert courses having the confidence to to lay into the ball, it won't happen here. The holes welcome a solid hit and give you the confidence to do it. This course is fair to all levels of golfer, just be prudent when you pick your tee and you
will have a great round.

Love playing this course you will too

This was my first time and hopefully not
My last....we had a great time even though the pace of play was slow....greens rolled very true and fairways were in excellent shape...worth every dollar...

Love the golf course. Will play it again for sure. Only course I've played in the area that has overseeded rough as well as fairways. The entire course was in perfect condition. Greens are slick.

Very enjoyable layout with tee options to challenge all golfers

Slick greens (but very true) and fantastic views and course conditions are the hallmark of the Ventana courses. Staff were very friendly and the practice facilities were well maintained. Bring your best putting stroke!!

I have never played Ventana and left feeling that this is a great golf course

Course was perfect. Greens were amazing, made the game super fun. We did not wait one time on any shot, amazing for a Sunday in the winter in Tucson. If it were not for my sad golf game, the day would have been perfect. 100+ soured the day, this was not Ventana Canyon's fault!! Also my buddy, Gary D. always makes the day fun!!

The weather was perfect; GolfNow offered a great rate; the course was superb; I just wish my game was as beautiful as this course.

Mountain Course played at 6,338 yards (139 rating). Wide fairways, narrow necks, well-guarded and impossible-to-read and slippery greens. Carved out of foothills below steep mountain peaks: the mountain greatly affects the roll of putts. I didn't feel comfortable with any putt over 3 ft -- and missed them all. At first I thought the 139 rating was too high, but in retrospect, the length, guarded greens and impossibly-fast greens probably is accurate. If you want a beautiful and challenging course, play this one.

This course was in excellent condition. Fairways are cut higher than most desert courses in Tucson giving it more of an "up north" flavor. Very fast, challenging greens. Generous fairways compared with many "target golf" desert courses. Gorgeous scenery of course. Very much enjoyed it

The putting is pure. Ball rolls like a pool table. Greens runnng 12. Course conditions are immaculate.

The staff here was super friendly and knowledgeable and the course was in absolutely fantastic shape but the greens were just stupid fast. They were like putting on a pool table and getting approach shots to stick was next to impossible. I am sure your average scratch player would have no problem but us mid handicappers just found it frustrating, and the hole locations were very unforgiving. That being said, if you like that sort of putting surface then the course was flawless. Just not for my game.

Loved the course but waiting on every shot, you loose contraction!!

Always a pleasure to play either Ventana course, Mountain or Canyon. Played Canyon yesterday, one of my favorite courses (and I have been playing golf for about 50 years or so!). Fazio track (as is the Mountain), with nice variety, winding thru Catalina foothills. For those who have not played this course, this is not desert target golf, although it is plenty challenging. If you are playing Canyon for the first time, be prepared for long cart trips between some holes - this course cannot be walked. Don't let that deter you as the course and the views are a great experience.

Incredible vistas, great Fazio course in wonderful condition and terrific price.

The Mountain course requires every shot and no two holes are the same. It was just overseeded and wet, so it played long. The greens are perfect. It was also a great value through Golf Now. The only downside is that, as a resort course, it gets players who are not capable of playing it slowing things down for everyone.
