Resorts at Ventana Canyon: Loews and The Lodge

This is the second time we’ve played here and there’s a reason we came back because it’s a great course. We love everything about it.

Only a woman would describe a round of golf as lovely, right? :) My husband and I were paired up with a local gentleman and his son-in-law on the Canyon course. One beautiful golf hole after another. It was a gorgeous sunny day in January. I must add:

my husband eagled a short par 4 on the back!!!

Will definitely go back to check out the mountain course.

Love this course! Perfection in every way. Makes you want to consider retiring here. Could play here everyday untilI can play no more!

Beautiful views and interesting course. Greens tough to read if you are a first time golfer here. Staff extremely friendly.

Very nice course to play. Lot of difference altitudes. Elevated greens. Very onduleted and quick. Stimt > 10.

Look out for 4 putts !!!

Well maintained. We will come again soon

It took a while to find the mountain course starting point, having to drive 3/4 mile to get to the starter and 1/4 mile back to get to the 1st tee. Once there however, it was a pleasure to play. The conditions were immaculate and the pace of play great. We finished in 3 hours.. the greens were fast and without a blemish and the tee boxes and fairways were also in great condition.. some high elevation holes in the front nine and a bit more canyon type holes on the back nine.. the course is not inexpensive but worth a splurge.

When I arrived at the course, it is very poorly marked. I spent an extra 20 minutes trying to get to the right location. The others in my group had a similar experience. The staff told me they heard that a lot. There is no bag drop location. The course is primarily a private club and the members apparently resent the public. When finished, I wanted to use the restroom and wash my hands and face. I was told the had no restrooms. The was a restaurant and gym next to the pro shop but no restrooms for the public. The facility was for members only. I won’t be back. A lousy experience.

First of all, the course is beautiful. Greens are smooth and fast. This course is demanding. You must know the greens. A bad placement can almost guarantee a three put. The course is well maintained and the staff is friendly and very helpful.

A friend of mine and I played the Mountain Course yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Every hole very different than the others. Beautiful setting. A lot of elevation changes and subtle bumps near green to make chips difficult. Greens very fast especially going away from the mountains.

Played the mountain course. It’s target only, resort golf. Mud on every teeball (in the afternoon, it had not rained). Does not allow for varying types of shots to be played. Even bunkers are wet underneath surface. No chance of playing the course the way the designers intended with these conditions.

Course is in excellent condition and very difficult. The greens are rolling as is most of the course. Bunkers are sandy, not like most courses in Tucson.

Vent Ana was the third course played on a three day excursion in Tucson. The greens were amazing and the best of the three courses played. The course was immaculately groomed. The fairways were plush, sand was great and we played in four hours. If you have never played the course the only negative was the drive between several holes. But face it, the carts do all the work.

Excellent conditions, excellent design, friendly and helpful staff but brutally slow play.
