Ventana Canyon - Mountain Course

The course was very good. Great views, well groomed, fast greens. The course is challenging so bring plenty of balls. I played the Mountain course, did not know there were two courses. The staff we mediocre to average and not really helpful.
Finding the course was a little difficult, had no idea it was practically onthe outskits of Tucson, it took a while form I-10 to get there.

I would recommend the course as a challenge if someone wanted that but in genreal the value for the dollar just isn't there.

GREAT GREENS very fast and true.You could not ask for a better place to play in Tucson.Make sure u have your camera ready for #3.

The Mountain course continues to be one of my favorites. The layout is challenging and conditions are really good, particularly the greens. The maintenance folks are very proactive in repairing some of the over-seeding damage, including completely revamping a couple of tee boxes. The Staff overall are very helpful. Ventana's stay and play option makes any trip a pleasant experience.

Great course design that meanders along the side of the Catalina Mountains, which adds difficulty to putting.

My GolfNow confirmation was for the Canyon course and the other player I was matched with in twosome also had confirmation for the Canyon course. The starter wasn't available to tell us we should be playing the Mountain course so we played the front nine on the Canyon course. At the turn the starter told us to play the Mountain course on the back 9 because only members were allowed on the Canyon course that day. When we arrived at the 10th tee of the Mountain course there was a foursome teeing off and a threesome waiting to tee off. When we explained to the threesome what had happened they invited us to join them in a group of five and we accepted. Unfortunately this affected our pace of play and it took almost 3 hours to play the back 9. It was in good condition but had been recently aerated so the greens were a little bumpy in places. In any event, the course remains one of my favorites and I would enthusiastically recommend it to players of all levels.

The course was in average condition but the greens were in great condition. Our main problem was going from hole to hole. It was like a maze and we acturally played one hole over again because of the set up and the lack of signs. They really need to install GPS for people wh have nt played this course. We had played the Mountain course there the day before and it was at least a star better in all areas. If we played again we would play the Mountain rather than the Canyon.

The front nine is the place to score, as it is fairly open. The back nine tightens the fairways up, making controlled shots a must. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Would play it again.

Mountain course is in stellar shape all around. Tee boxes coming back from being punched but otherwise perfect conditions.

The $49 Golf Now green fee brought Ventana Canyon back to my budget and it was a pleasure to play a course this nice. The greens were firm, very fast, probably 11+ on the stimp which made them difficult to hold but very smooth to putt.

From the moment you arrive you know you are at a first class facility. The staff and amenities were great though the lack of a GPS in their carts was a surprise. I'd played here once before several years ago so was somewhat familiar with the course. Local knowledge helps a lot as there are a lot of blind shots and the greens are rarely flat which is difficult to see from the fairways.

Being June in Tucson the weather could have been a problem but got lucky and had a nice cool day (in the 80's), and managed 18 in just 3.5 hours with only a little bit of waiting on the last few holes. I'll be back.

I first played here 25 years ago and it has held up very well. Great views, nice layout although signage was a little lacking. Beautiful facilities. I highly recommend playing here.

Vantana Canyon Mountain course is one of the best courses that I have played in Tucson so far. The atmosphere was wonderful and the fairway and greens were perfect. Looking forward to playing the Mountain course and the Canyon course as well!

I would recommend the Canyon course and would love to play it again. The condition of the course is just short of perfect, if that is possible?
My only issue is that the Staff in the pro shop were a little stuffy and I felt like I needed to hit the lotto just to play there. The day that we played we had no beverage cart and really could have used one, but overall it was a good experience. The scenery was unbelievable be sure to bring a camera!!!

This was a great golf experience. The greens were in spectacular condition.

Have wanted to play this course for a very long time. It did not disappoint me and the greens were in PGA condition. Loved the experience.

Beautiful layout, conditioning,and fairness. My wife and I loved it!

Add it to your bucket list!

these courses are the two best courses I've played in Az. You could not ask of anything better. Perfect from tee to green...conditions were immaculate..the Mt course has better views and scenery, the canyon course is a little easier to score on....Russ the starter is one of the nicest, most knowledgable starter I ever met...the only bummer was the $8.00 hot dog...come on man!!! Really, $8 for a hot dog

This is a great course! We got lost going to the first tee of the Mountain Course. It wasn't the easiest to find, but, finally, with help, we found it and enjoyed the day!!

A country club type reception followed by a challenging round on a course in great condition. Really fun holes and even tough I didn't score as low as I would have preferred, it was a great day on the links.

this is great golf from tee to green this one is hard to beat a must play

We arrived at the course and checked in without a problem but when we talked to the starter he informed us we were not on his sheet. Turns out we were double booked and they offered to have us play as a two-some surrounded by foursomes.

Then when we inquired about how this happened, we were told by Kevin at the pro shop that this "happens all the time". So, through no fault of our own we were basically forced to take a raincheck or get a refund. problem is, if you drove down from Phoenix, I don't think this would make you too happy. The staff at the pro shop was very willing to take our money but quite reluctant to accommodate us in a fair fashion.

The customer service needs a lot of work, in my opinion. The root of this issue seems to stem from the pro shop staff not notifying golfnow that our tee time was already taken by someone else, a problem entirely of their making so they really should have bent over backwards to rectify the situtation. Instead, we were given curt answers to our questions as if we were inconveniencing them.

The course looked great but we decided to get rain checks as this whole experience left a sour taste in our mouths. I don't think I'll play this course for a while as a result, which is a shame because the course itself is fantastic.
