Resorts at Ventana Canyon: Loews and The Lodge

Just moved to the Tucson area a couple of months ago. Obviously, very hot here in the summer, so I’ve been playing some courses that are out of my budget during the rest of the year. Ventana Canyon is my favorite so far. I played the Mountain Course. Very playable,, although I am a senior citizen and played from the silver tees. Fairways are being aerated and greens have been sanded, so didn’t get to see how the greens might have been under normal conditions. People very friendly and accommodating. Course rate was very good, but then again it was 105 degrees out there. I will definitely play the course again, and recommend it to anyone.

One of the cart boys is super rude every time. He talks to me extremely disrespectfully every time .

Took five and a half hours to play. Ranger didn't seem concerned with pace of play.

Difficult course to play the first time due to the travel distances between some of the holes but the course was in excellent condition other than a couple of thin spots in some fairways. The greens were smooth, rolled true and very quick. Overall a very very nice course.

Can’t say more about it! The course is in great shape staff is wonderful great layout a definite need to play!

Great summer golf day in Tucson! Played the Canyon Course, was in excellent shape, fast greens. Always enjoy being in the Catalina Mountains, wonderful vistas, majestic setting.

From the start....staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Jay and Scott were very helpful. The course was in great condition! The greens were extremly difficult....lines and slope were most challenging....but condition was great. Overall it was a 5 out of 5 star experience!@

Great course, but they need bathrooms near the pro shop on the canyon course

Good luck finding Canyon Course, even though the clueless security guard misdirects you, naming the wrong street to turn into. Zero signage directing you to "Canyon Course" but plenty of signs directing you to various Loews facilities. Rude, condescending staff when you ask for specifics/help, no obvious bag drop, zero parking (because of hotel events). Rick in golf shop could care less about the experience prior to arrival, "but write a review on GolfNow because others have complained about the signage, and nothing will get fixed unless you complain." Smarmy bag boy making snide comments under his breath and over their radios -- great customer service. Non-equity club, apparently, so if the service & experience are abysmal, no skin off the members backs, but perhaps that's by design? Won't ever play again/recommend this property.

My biggest grip was the greens which are hard to read and extremely fast. I must have lost 10 strokes to the greens.

Pin placement was tough but to be fair there aren’t a lot of flat spots on these greens. U need to play it more than once or twice a year to get used to the greens.

The greens were filled with sand, this condition is not considered normal. Putting can be scratched off the playing card. Your score will not count, not a real round of golf.

Upsetting at the least!

Great course all the time. Incredible views and the course is in perfect shape.
