Ventana Canyon - Mountain Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Ventana Canyon - mountain course
Very good challenging golf course. Very good condition. Members alternate with greens fee paying players to play different courses each day, then swap courses the next day. Greens fee payers start at Loews Resort and have to travel in golf cart about 1/2 mile to first tees of the two courses. There are very few amenities at the first tee location and the turns. Two bathrooms, a range and a very small snack bar are there along with a starter. We saw the beverage cart only once during the 18 holes. So I would say great golf course but somewhat lacking on-course amenities.
Great course but confusing to find
Played the mountain course and thought it was a great track, interesting shots and necessary to hit solid shots to score. The greens were hard and fast and very tricky with the mountain/valley effect in full swing. The pace of play was slow, took almost 5 hours to play and waiting nearly every shot but a great day and pairing and enjoyed it. Would recommend it for sure
Thanks for the 5-star review and recommendation! We truly appreciate your feedback on the course, as well as your patience regarding the pace of play on a busier day. We hope you had a great round and look forward to welcoming you back to The Lodge at Ventana Canyon for an even better one soon.
Excellent desert course
Fine staff, course in excellent condition.
Long rides between some holes helps to have someone who knows the course.
Blind shots and lots of opportunities to lose balls. Be patient, you won’t score well the first time.
Bring your camera.
Thanks for the 4-stars and great feedback! We appreciate you choosing The Lodge at Ventana Canyon and hope to have you back again soon.

Greens suffered with snow fall
This is our 4th time at Ventana Mountain.
Great layout.
Greens died with the snow over the last weekend.
They looked black vs green.
Greens did NOT hold a ball at all.
Ridiculous fast.
Puts rolled off the green on some holes.
As great as the starter was with information,
he did not prepare us at all for the speed of the greens.
Beautiful day. Very frustrating.

Great course
Everything was great except for the guy who check is in the Am. He was very unwelcoming and not very pleasant.
Everybody else’s was super friendly and helpful.

Mountain Course aptly named!
Fun course, but hilly. Many elevated tee boxes with awesome views, some with awesome hills to climb to get to the tee box! The mountain has a huge effect on putts! The starter will warn you and it doesn't take long to become a believer!
