Course in great shape

Perfect weather, greens are fast, fairways good, tee boxes all good. No problems whatsoever. Please get some olives for bloody marys! You are the only course in town that has no olives on beverage cart!

One of the best

Perfect weather and playing conditions. Got off on time with no frost delay. The greens were like lightning but the surface was immaculate. Liked the white plastic inserts at top of cups. Hard greens to read with the "mountain" break factor. The pin placements were pretty difficult with the firm greens.

The layout was entertaining on practically every hole.

I could play this course everyday and not get tired of it. The views were of course spectacular.

Can't believe it December

This course was in great condition and the grass was so green and lush we had a hard time believing it wasn't summertime. Everyone connected with our golf outing was friendly and helpful. We had a great time and have already gotten tee times for 2 more days.

Greens like billiard tables

Beautiful course, greens are very fast, maybe 16 on the Stimpy but roll true. Nice but challenging.

The good and bad.

Beautiful course. Amazing vistas. Hole 10 is a spectacular hole with a huge, unique rock formation. Exquisitely maintained. Immaculate, in fact.

You'll note, however, I've only commented on what it looks like. If you're visiting and want a scenic experience, this is great. However, if you're serious about your scores, you may want to pass. Here's why:

The greens: Like pavement. Impossible for first timers to read. Can't stop the ball on them at all. Essentially you aren't rewarded for hitting into the green. Even if you're playing well, you'll find yourself not keeping score anymore because of these greens. Also, I didn't think it would be a big deal, but the amount of driving from hole to hole is noticeable. I enjoyed it for three most part, but towards the end you start to notice it adds to your round time and fatigue.

I enjoyed it. Great way to experience Tucson especially if you're in a group. However, if your game has been on a roll, it's stops here.

Ventant Canyon

Even tough we were just after the overseed season ( opened 3 days prior), the conditions were excellent with a very nice layout. The only negative part was car path restrictions but this I s normal after overseed season.

Just open after overseed

Staff courteous and helpful. Just open after over seed cart path only. Country club resort facilities. Nice layout, pay attention to signs layout. Lot of driving to holes. Short course if you play on any of tees except the black. Lush and great coverage. Green roll true.

Outstanding Tucson Golf

Ventana Canyon gets just about everything right. Played the Mountain course which is spectacular. Greens were fast and very challenging. The layout is great and the holes presented lots of variety. Highly recommend.

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.

This course has stunning views

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.

Memorable course that was in great condition.

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.

No signage /organizaiton

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.

Beautiful resort and golf

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.
