Ventana Canyon - Mountain Course

Best scenic views in Tucson. Excellently maintained. Difficulty but fair layout. Staff is attentive and helpful. Restaurant was excellent for lunch. Tap beer variety was limited, however.

Excellent overall experience

The mountain course is a beautiful course. We played to gold tees. The fairways and tees are lush, the greens are quick and the view from most anywhere is just gorgeous this course is well worth the money.

Played both the Mountain and Canyon courses at Ventana over consecutive days as a guest of the Loews Ventana Resort.

The Mountain was a little more scenic, but I preferred the Canyon course in terms of play. Both were in terrific shape with lush fairways and fast greens.

Was paired with great people (I was there as as single), including some members with the all important local knowledge! Pace of play was excellent with next to no waiting on any hole due to the 10 minute gaps in tee times.

Found the staff to be helpful and friendly, and would definitely return to play both courses again. Make sure you bring your camera as some of the views of the mountain ranges and cactus forests are spectacular.

Course extremely beautiful. Very nice layout enjoyed playing

This course has changed the location of the Pro shop (Check in ) moving it a couple of miles. The original location has always been very convoluted to find and now once you find it it is closed and there is no signage until you get to the Pro Shop. The you have to go about two miles to find the actual check in spot. Very poor organization and signage. On golf Now they do give the new address . However no alert that things have changed !!! Poor administration.

Excellent layout. The greens were top dressed, but the putts rolled fairly straight. The hardest thing about the whole course was finding it. I punched in the hotel address instead of the course address. The

club house is in a different location for the off season. The signage to get around the course I think

could've been better. A little confusing at times.

Played the Canyon Course on Friday, 8/19/2016 and paid $30.00. For a 12:30 T time. Good,deal, but not great considering the time we played. Phenomenal fast greens. Very difficult to read them. Though I had a miserable day playing I was very happy to experience this course . I understand why it is so highly acclaimed. Now the bad part. There is a bad vibe there amongst most of the staff. I noticed it immedietly and so did my playing partners. Check in with the pro shop was strange. They asked for name $30.00 and that was it. Nothing else. Not a word like welcome, have a nice round, or even enjoy. The course ate us alive and we looked forward to some food and drink afterwards. So we enter the restaurant/bar area and take a table. We ordered a round of drinks and asked for menus. The waitress was obviously not into her job because we had to ask for everything. So we finally receive our drinks and discussing our round when an employee (unknown what.

his function was) approaches our table an rudely tells me to remove my hat. I looked around to see if any others in the room had their hats on, but there were only a few others in the room and they appeared to not have just played. They appeared clean, unlike us who most came in from 4 hrs in 100 degree heat in the Az sun. He noticed me looking around an said it was club policy of no hats on in the building. I obliged and as he walked away from our table wanted to give me a stare down. We all looked at each other like what the is his problem and then discussed the stupid no hat policy which I've never experienced anywhere. I could understand the being a policy at a private country club but not a family resort course. After our drink we quickly paid and left, never even seeing a menu which we asked for. We exited the front doors towards the parking lot where we found our clubs. Three of us had stand bags, but my one friend who had a cart bag found his bag laying on the pavement right next to the bag stand. He was not happy. We discussed our round and our experience a few miles down the road at a restaurant and decided not to return and go other places instead in the future

The course was in great shape. The staff on the other hand was rude and unfriendly. Starter was grumpy; check-in was less than friendly; and when I finished they left my golf bag laying on the ground rather than on the rack. In the bar, had to request menu three times. Then at of nowhere, a member of the staff approached our group and demanded we remove our hats. Normally, wouldn't have been a big deal, but no one at check-in said anything about hats. Plus, never heard of this at a resort. Very Poor.. customer service.

Great course. Challenging but fair.

We always have a great time playing the Mountain Course. It is a fun challenging layout for golfers of all abilities. greens had been verticut and still need about two weeks to recover. (i wish there was a way for the golfnow website to inform us of condition of greens at time of booking) for the money it was still worth playing! greens should be in great shape by 8/15/16

A+ rating - well maintained and great views - stunning course

Booked a great value on Golf Now, and met very nice golfers going out as a single. It was a shotgun start, and the practice area, and course we're in great shape! I would highly recommend playing this course as the views are spectacular.

IT WAS A GREAT DAY, A BEAUTIFUL COURSE AND A NICE VARIETY OF PLAY

Would definitely play again and recommend to others. Course layout was challenging and beautiful at the same time. Summer rates are well worth putting up with some heat for a few hours.

Course is in great condition considering it is under severe heat stress.

My only issue with the Canyon course is that it is spread out over long travel times between tee boxes.

Greens were in summer maintenance - sandy but fair.

Fairways were excellent.

Overall conditions, despite the heat, very good.

Beautiful facility and views. Well worth visiting.

Great rate and super friendly staff. Course was in great shape and very challenging.

tees, fairways and greens are all "A"; layout fun fair and challenging
