Ventana Canyon - Canyon Course

Course was in terrible shape, greens were horrible, unable to putt, staff should've informed us if the shape of the greens! Ruined the only available day that we had to play

From the moment you check in you realize you are not on an average golf course. Beginning with warming up on the driving range to the putting green you know you are on to something special. I feel the Mountain course is more scenic however the Canyon course has its own special characteristics as well. As far as difficulty, the Mountain course is more challenging in my humble opinion, however neither will disappoint you. Ventana Canyon is without a doubt one of the top three courses in all of Arizona and I say that without reservation. Give it a try and cultivate your own views as it will be worth your time.

Course is in excellent shape [ Mountain Course ] , they will be aerating the course this week and had aerated the Canyon course last week. Always one of the best maintained courses in the Tucson area and highly recommend playing there,

A very plush course. Fairways were very green and soft for this time of the year. Greens were being aerated so putting was next to impossible. The staff was great. As a first time player, you need to follow the directions given by the starter as the course wanders, even across busy streets. If you have never been there before, allow extra time to find the place. The signs are very discreet and don't be affraid to ask for dirrections.

Course was a beautiful chalenging layout and in great conditon. I highly recommend this course to those that enjoy a challenge.

" Take the 2nd entrance on the right into the hotel, located on Kolb Rd exactly 2 miles from Sunrise"

The above directions listed on Golf Now confirmations are incorrect , perhaps they meant "exactly one mile !"
Signage in front of Loew's Hotel is also terrible hard to find pro shop. Why is this such a problem,

This is an excellent course, set in one of the prettiest mountain areas of "Tucson" Arizona. The "Mountain" course is challenging & full of surprises. Get ready for 18 holes of "Absolute" fun ! You may even be fortunate enough to have a "Bobcat" join you, as we did. Take your camera. Unfortunately I didn't . :-(

I cannot say enough great things about this course! We played the tips, and the views were nothing short of incredible! The staff was extremely courteous, the grounds were pristine, the greens had a very light dusting of sand, but rolled true and fairly quick. The course offer a fantastic challenge with forced carries, a couple blind shots, incredible elevation changes...all you could want and more!

The gentleman from New Jersey that joined us thought that the greens were artificial turf! That could be the greatest unintended compliment I've ever heard! Hats off to the grounds crew!

The course was beautiful. Very long and you need to pay attention to the cart path signs.I cannot wait to return

My brother and I played and we had a bleast.
Challenging course, beatiful scenery, and the best part- got him by 3 strokes since he beat me on the Caynon cousres the day before!

The title says it all. $100 for a 5 hour round of golf. No effort by the club to move thugs along, no ranger.

Course is located in a picturios area. Best conditioned we played in Tucsan for the week. Strictly a target course.

I played the Mountain Course, which includes the elevated 3rd hole, one of the most photographed holes in the western US. Very intimidating 100 yards. There are forced carries on most holes, but with multiple tee boxes, everyone should find a set they are comfortable playing. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The course does not have any yardage guides, so either a good GPS which includes hazards locations or playing with someone who has been on the course before is a great advantage. The typical landing areas for drives are fairly wide, it is not a tight target course like some desert courses; however a big slice or pull hook will still find the desert.

Beautiful course-pristine condition. Large greens with significant elevation changes. Plenty of opportunity to three putt. I look forward to playing it again.

Great course. Immaculate shape. Very scenic. Lots of forced carries. Should play it if you are serious about your golf.

I've played most of the semi-private courses in the Tucson area now and I rate this one the best. The staff was professional and friendly, the course is in excellent condition, each hole is different from the last, and several very scenic views make for an overall great experience. Even the practice facilities are better than most.

Well worth the time and drive to play these courses.

Excellent target golf course.
Finding our way from one hole to the next was a challenge but we were lucky to be paired with a frequent player of the course.

Ventana CC is an upscale golfing facility with friendly staff and excellent course conditions. The course offers tee boxes accommodating players of all ability. I played from the gold tees and found some of the approach shots challenging,(Handicap 5, shot 75). Greens roll true, multiple birdie opportunities, beautiful holes with scenic mountain backdrops. I would highly recommend playing if you are in the Tucson area.
