Ventana Canyon - Canyon Course

Rode the Greens (6537/70.7/135) super twilight in 3.5H. Around 90, clear and fairly calm.

Difficult layout. Tight but still fun to play. Varied with several risk reward par 4's. Numerous elevated tee shots, constantly up/down rolling hills.

Tees level, mostly lush and nice to play from with most divots properly repaired.

Fairways lush and deceptively undulating, few flat lies. You get divot spots in the collection areas.

Bermuda rough maintained low and generally good to play from.

Sand traps well maintained with good quality, light sand.

Large Bermuda greens were just punched, so they were as expected. Bumpy and medium slow.

Customer service excellent from all encountered. Bottled water provided and nice restaurant onsite. Very nice grass driving range included with the golf. Carts do not have GPS. Canyon front will soon be closed to redo the sprinkler system and I could tell the course was not as well maintained as usual. Still recommended.

The greens currently are the best in Tucson. Perfect shape.

The greens were dressed with sand which made putting very difficult on an already very fast green. The price was too high for this condition.

Set up beautifully easy to navigate, friendly happy staff! Hole 3 mountain course is beautiful..

Difficult, tight but still fun to play. Very varied layout with several risk reward par 4's, Many elevated tee shots, constantly up/down rolling hills. Much more down than up.

They are closing one 9 on Canyon soon to redo the sprinkler system. Since I often play late in the day, I have been playing that nine twice to get in 18 several times lately because few play it late in the day. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.4/139). Mid 80's, clear and breezy. POP was brutal, 4H, 45M twilight. Playing behind a slow group of bad golfers who were just oblivious. Was within 50 yards of them on numerous holes and they did not act like letting any groups play through was an option.

Ventana is very spread out, easy to get lost. Depending on your tee choice, many tee shots hitting over no man's land with forced carries. Long climbs in carts, play down hill, then repeat the process is a common theme. Few holes are severely uphill and being very firm, the course plays shorter than the listed yardage.

Tees excellent with most divots repaired, level/lush.

Fairways lush and nice to play from.

Bermuda rough mostly green and becoming more lush/thick/deep by the day.

Sand traps very good. Around the greens plenty of soft white sand. Fairway bunkers more firm.

Large Bermuda greens smooth, very firm and medium fast. Everything releases here.

Customer service excellent on all levels. Bottled water provided. Drink cart around once. Very nice restaurant on site. Nice, all grass practice area which includes range balls. Driving range is close to a mile from the Pro Shop and the basic carts do not have GPS. Recommended.

Bought a six pack of beer for 25.01 and they charged me twice. Tried to get a hold of the golf club but they did not pick up my phone call. Left a message to return my call but have not heard from them.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.4/139) in 3.5H mid day. Mid 90's, clear and windy.

Mountain is the original Ventana course and the layout is the better of the two Ventana courses IMO. First Fazio design west of the Mississippi. Depending on your tee choice, many tee shots hitting over no man's land. The Green tees feature several 150-200 yard forced carries as an example. Long climbs in carts, play down hill, then repeat the process is a common theme. Few holes are severely uphill and IMO, the course plays shorter than the listed yardage.

Rode the Greens (6537/70.7/135) twilight in 3.5H. 95, clear and fairly calm. Very difficult course but also fair and very fun to play. Tight but not overly tight... but anything much offline is going to bring penalties into play on most shots. Varied layout with some risk reward par 4's and many elevated tee shots. Constantly up/down rolling hills, much more down than up.

Tees lush and very nice to play from.

Just played there Friday (4/15) and Saturday (4/16). Played the Canyon course on Friday and the Mountain course on Saturday. This place is a private club with non-member access. Friday was fine, we played with non members. Saturday was not fine - there was a wedding that directed all traffic onto one course and the members were mad about it. Play was slow as you expect. As things bogged down late into the round, these members started making rude comments to my wife as if she was the reason things were slow. Personally, the club needs to re-examine it’s membership requirements for letting these gentlemen into a private club. My club at home would toss these “gentlemen” within a month if they acted like that. Maybe a few more lessons would make these guys enjoy their golf more, but they certainly tried to ruin our day. I won’t be going back. There’s a really nice Ritz-Carlton there in Tucson, Dove Mountain, great place. The Westin is another excellent option for resort golf. Let these 30 handicappers complain among themselves on their overpriced golf course.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was a tad clunky on getting clubs to and from the drop, but not a big deal. No bev cart was a minus

Rode the Greens (6537/70.7/135) in slightly less than 4H super twilight. Played with a nice H/W. Low 90's, clear and breezy.

Tees nicely maintained with few divots.

Fairways lush, mowed tight and nice to play from.

Bermuda rough getting thicker/deeper with good coverage.

Sand traps excellently maintained with good quality medium grain sand.

Large Bermuda greens putt smooth. Firm and medium speed, you have to play for run out.

Excellent all grass practice area includes chipping green, sand practice green and 3 putting greens total between the two courses with unlimited range balls. Basic carts do not have GPS. Customer service excellent from everyone. Drink cart around several times. Bottled water provided. Excellent Fazio design in very good playing condition. Highly recommended.

The course was in great condition. The staff was friendly and professional.

Our only problem was the gate to get out of the parking lot didn’t work so there was a long line of grumpy people until finally a guy from the hotel figured out how to open it for us!

The mountain course is the best course in Tucson for the layout, some hole are spectacular

I played canyon course. Course conditions and view are very good. I will rate Ventana is the best course in Arizona. I highly recommend.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.4/139) in 3.5H twilight with a nice H/W. Mid 70's, clear and calm.

Tees level/lush with most divots repaired.

Fairways lush and nice to play from.

Bermuda rough greening up and becoming more lush by the week.

Sand traps nicely maintained with good quality sand.

Large Bermuda greens had been recently top dressed with a thin coat of sand. They actually rolled even better than usual and were downright quick.

Customer service excellent from all encountered. Bottled water provided. Usually no Drink cart on weekdays afternoons. Nice, all grass practice area which includes range balls. Driving range is close to a mile from the Pro Shop and the basic carts do not have GPS. Very nice Fazio design in excellent playing condition. Depending on your tee choice, many tee shots hitting over no man's land. Green tees feature several intimidating forced carries. Definitely recommended.

Played the Mountain Course while staying at the resort. Course is in excellent shape, tees and fairways in immaculate condition, greens were firm but rolled true.

Of the two courses this is my favorite, #3 was a fun par-3 and the views from the Black tees on #s 4 and 18 were amazing.

Carts only as there is some distance between holes. Beverage cart was seen numerous times, and all the staff was super friendly.

My issue was the pace of play. 5 hours is way too long to be on the course, didn't see a Marshall at all during the round. Because not too many holes are next to each other, we really couldn't see where the hold up was.

This was a nice course to play, but I've also played nicer for much less money. But the high rates are expected being a resort course.
