Ventana Canyon - Mountain Course

Course was in great shape, staff was awesome and overall great value

This course is beautiful in so many ways, the views, the layout of the holes, and just the desert beauty! The greens were absolutely the best I've played here in Tucson, very receptive to your approach shots and super smooth! The fairways were just as beautiful and green, the few that I hit anyway. Difficult as are all the desert target courses so hitting it straight is definitely necessary. Cold water is available it seemed on at least every other hole which is a plus when it's 100° outside, as well as ice and water available at the turn. Got a great rate on GolfNow.com. The only downside I guess was the cost of food and drinks on the course, spent half as much for that as I did for my round of golf. Otherwise a fantastic experience!

Hot day, but the beautiful course helped overlook that. I have always liked this course.

Playing by yourself is fun and I enjoyed doing that on the Mountain course. Lots of driving between holes was annoying, but tees, fairways and bunkers were in great shape - greens were aerated a week earlier and sadly, were still sandy and very slow which really took away from the day......also, it was hot out there and while they have water on every other hole, there's no ice except at the turn so beware.

Very nice course and will go back when it's cooler

Very nice course in good shape. Check in process strange... difficulties finding pro shop ...bag drop not marked as such..no one to greet you ..had to carry clubs down stairways. Practice area great and very nice starter. But when we were leaving..no one there to help with clubs till we started looking around for a way up. Then the guy got a bit cray that our friend looked by the desk for a trash can. Service at the front end needs work!

The greens were so ridiculously fast and hard that it was impossible any greens. That and the pace of play (5 hours and 20 minutes) took all the joy out of that round. Especially after you consider the high fees.

What a surprise to book the Mountain course through Golf Now only to find out it was closed for maintenance. Instead we were placed on Canyon where we were told we had no time to warm up, yet we're waiting on every hole. Staff refused to address a group who proceeded to the woman's tee (while we were on the men's tee). Our concern was safety. Staff indicated they were members and would not move even if asked. Despite that we were paying customers and felt uncomfortable with 4 women sitting within our hitting range. The final lack of customer focus was when they delivered it clubs to the parking lot but neglected to replace our head covers after cleaning it clubs. When we walked back down to retrieve the missing covers the staff asked us what we forgot? We forgot nothing and will not forget how the staff at this course exhibited a total lack of customer appreciation. Satisfaction? Not here!

We had a 5 hr and 45 minute round. Only saw a marshal once and he didn't seem concerned. We even called the club house on number 8 but no improvement. On one par five we had 3 groups in the fairway and two waiting on the tee.

Great area high above the valley the elevation changes make it very challenging on club selection.

If you are going there for the first time the

Entrance to the the pro shop is a little tricky to find.

My son and me flew in to Tucson to play some golf in the sun. We had plans to finish up with the Canyon course at Ventana, as we had heard it was stunning. We prepaid at golfnow for the Sunday round on the 7th. I unfortunately suffered a back and knee injury the day before and was unable to play on Sunday. I prepaid over $200, but was told that I could not get a refund on my money even for an injury. We could not play the Canyon course and I will never again book with Golfnow. Cmon, an injury doesn't warrant refund?

When I made the tee time, no one said it was a shotgun start. It was awful. 5 and a half hour round. Bad news. Course was great, but they should say if it is a shotgun start. I would not have played

Only issue we had were the plastic cup liners, Several putts were bounced adversely after contact. Would like to know the purpose they serve, when painting the top of the cup has become standard.

challenging course with amazing contast between lush green fairways and arid desert vegetation. Plenty of wildlife for entertainment - rabbits, praire dogs and road runners. Long distances between holes give players time in a cart with the cooling breeze of movement - nice relief from desert heat.

Pulling up the resort looks great seems like a nice stay! Drove a mile to the driving range which isn't bad and it looks like they haven't moved the stations in a month! No grass to hit off of! Went to go buy a Gatorade and a sandwich $15 later and I got a Gatorade and a decent sandwich. The tee box's are nice but that's about it the fairways were rough and the greens were awful. It's almost like they had a disease that they tried to fill in with sand! Completely impossible. The course layout was horrible. The only great thing about that course was the view of the mountains and I found myself looking at them a lot asking the same question. Why did I spend so much money to play this course!!
