Type Resort
Style Desert
Par 72
Length 6898 yards
Slope 141
Rating 72.9

The Mountain Course at The Lodge at Ventana Canyon, one of two Tom Fazio designs at this Tucson resort, is a classic desert-style target golf course has quick, undulating greens, elevated tee shots and a number of memorable holes. With four sets of tees, this par-72 course can be stretched to nearly 6,900 yards. The signature hole, the short par-3 third, is one of the most photographed holes in the Southwest and has been known to give up a few aces from balls that ricochet off the boulders that surround the green.

Love this course

This course is always in excellent shape. It's a tad pricey, but going through GolfPass+ saved me a bunch of money. Thank you Ventana for an excellent golf course!

Very nice course in great condition

Would still play here, just know ahead of time they are not very friendly. We ate lunch in the golf clubhouse and one of the waiters told our waiter to not wait on us Right in front of us. Maybe my skin is too brown

What a difference between the front and back

The front’s fairways were superb.....Greens were the FASTEST I’ve EVER putted......Back 9 fairways were sub-par. Greens MUCH slower.....Grn super should ‘match’ front to back.

Smooth and green

Course is in great shape, nobody there on Wednesday at 11:00 tee time, no one behind us for 15 holes, like your own private course. Good value for the money at $76.

Beautiful course

I just loved the golf course we played at Ventana Canyon, I believe the Canyon Course. The mountains and really just the whole area is really beautiful. The course was a blast. It was tough, but it was fair. Great experience !

Quick recovery

Staff had the courses in great shape considering they had a deluge of rain and very significant flash flooding the day before I played. The course was wet and soft which made it play a little more easily. Still pretty difficult. The course was truly pristine for late July in Southern Arizona. It is a great place. Especially December through March!

Disappointed

Played the Canyon course today after hearing how the Mountain course was in such great shape. Less than impressive, greens were recently plugged and need atleast 2-3 weeks to get better. Fairways were marginal.

The greens were so perfect they looked unreal, which doesn’t always react well to amateurs. Great course with gorgeous layouts and greens.”

Awesome anniversary present

My husb has played this course in the past, but it was my first time (i just rode along). He has been wanting to play again so i surprised him as part of his "spoiling" day. Since most places are closed we decided to each take a day and spoil each other for our anniversary. This course was AMAZING!! The views of the mountains and city were breathtaking!

We had a wonderful day together, which led to a memorable night
