Resorts at Ventana Canyon: Loews and The Lodge

Was a great day for golf, course is in outstanding shape. The truest greens around.

Pricy but man is the Mountain course beautiful. Played from golds and just very scenic golf, incredible conditions and best course in the area.

Seriously the best course in town. Pay the money, enjoy an awesome round of golf. You won’t be disappointed.

Course was in good condition. Wasn't sure why we were paired with two employees from the course, but they were delightful, so it didn't matter. It just seemed odd to us to be paired with them, since we paid quite a bit to play.

Very nice course. My only complaint is they didn’t have ANY water jugs on the course which is very dangerous.

Beautiful but sprawling course in very good condition. The greens are immaculate and roll as true as any course I’ve played. That said, I’ve never felt less welcome at any club in my life. From trying to book a tee time (staying at the resort for extended weekend and no one willing to assist with a tee time - finally made via Hot Deal on GolfNow for $100 to learn with my playing companion that he booked with the pro shop for $49) to the starter to everyone else we encountered, we were made to feel like we were a pain rather than a guest. We couldn’t get on until 1:00 pm and were told we needed to wait for a shotgun start group to finish but we couldn’t use the practice green because they were going to water. Was told there would be cart service “for a while” but that never happened. Finally got to the halfway house and the place was out of most beers (oh, we sold out) and was closing up. I’ll never be back to the resort or the course.

We played to Mountain course in late May

Great shape with Fabulous views

Fun to play

But fairly pricey unless you get a deal or play it out of “ high season”.

We WILL. be back to play the Canyon Course

Greens and fairways were perfect. Switched courses on us because of aeration which is understandable but still disappointed.

Canyon course, little or no waiting. Pushed from behind, hit into, but not a course reflection. Fast, smooth greens. Some of the best around, compare to Sewailo, La Paloma.

Fairways full, bunkers especially good:fluffy and full. Overall a great golf experience that costs more but conditions reflect the added money. Didn’t see a drink cart but kiosk at the turn. Yardages on sprinkler heads (front, mid, rear) help. Layout is special as are the views.

My first impression was how friendly the staff was. I was greeted at the door and all the way through, with directions and help getting through the resort.

The course (Canyon) was in excellent condition. The greens were the best I've played all season. Hats off to the grounds crew
