Resorts at Ventana Canyon: Loews and The Lodge

We were able to play this breathtaking course for $59ea thanks to GolfNow... Go Play!

I have golfed here for number of years and the course Is in best condition e#v..

This is a beautiful course that was in excellent shape. The setup is challenging but not impossible. It's more about accuracy than length unless you play from the blacks. The relationship between the Loew's resort and the private golf course is odd. I recommend that you show up early and be prepared to wander around the resort parking lot for a while. There is no golf signage at the resort, and yet that's where you check-in. The staff at the resort and golf course were friendly and tried to explain the relationship, but it all seems odd. All over the golf course there are signs promoting golf memberships to the club, so it seems the club may be struggling a bit financially. They would do well to be a bit more agreeable with the resort.

The course is in fantastic condition. I loved #17, very well designed.

Played the Mountain course and the scenery was fantastic. Nice layout and pace of play was great. Greens were tough to read so lots of 3 putts and the grass on the greens seemed kind of grainy but in great shape. Get a good deal on golfnow and go play this course.

Beautiful views from every hole. Played 18 holes in just under 4 hours. Great experience! Will definitely come back.

The Canyon course was in great shape with the greens rolling beautifully. We all had difficulty reading the grain on the greens and that made for quite an adventure for putting. Overall, though, a very enjoyable round.

Played the Mountain course and loved it. The course conditions were fantastic, the greens excellent. Really enjoyed the layout, one of my favorites. Definitely recommend.

A beautiful course, one for the memory. The 4th hole on the mountain course must be played from the tips. What a view

THE GREENS WERE FAST BUT THE PACE OF PLAY WAS VERY SLOW. IF YOU BOOK ON GOLF NOW, Book 2 DAYS BEFORE NOT A WEEK BEFORE. PAID WAY TOO MUCH, WHEN THERE ARE OTHER COURES JUST AS NICE AT A BETTER RATE...THE MOUNTAIN SIDE WAS A BETTER VALUE.

Played the Canyon Course. No complaints overall as indicated in my rating but just not the kind of layout I enjoy. Exceptional condition but greens are only receptive to balls that hit with plenty of spin so hitting from the fairway is key to holding the greens. Only played the course once but it somehow felt tight and crowded with very little room for error. If you were off the cut portion of the course (that includes the rough) by only several feet you were in a hazard, OB, or unplayable 80% of the time or more so hitting it straight is essential. Once again no complaints overall and a great course but too punitive for the type of golf I enjoy playing.

Great course with spectacular views...pretty challenging if you miss the fairways.

Slow play as shotgun start began. Greens had many markings of players not picking up there feet.

The Mountain course is a must to play. Wide fairways off the tee, but subsequent shots into green require exact yardages as well as knowing where to miss. Greens are fast with various undulations. Great views and well worth playing again.

The course was in excellent condition. Fairways are wide from the tee, however know your yardage for shots to the green. And make sure you know where to miss if you do not hit green. Greens running fast and most greens have significant undulations.

Un des plus beau parcours de la région de Tucson! Conditions impeccables, un vrai challenge!

Excellant condition with sneaky fast greens. Couldn't believe the value for this course. When in Tucson, a must!

We played the canyon course and it is a very well maintained course and has excellent views of Tucson and the Catalina mountains the only improvement I could see would be to shorten the grass in the rough just a little or maybe I should just play in the center of the fairway. Overall this is one of my favorites in Tucson!

The course is in great shape. The staff are rude. Not just Brian the manager but the range timekeeper and course ranger all acted like the non members were a bother. I talked to the foursome behind us who had similar experiences. We were sent off shotgun because of frost delay and then asked twice if we had payed for a replay when we made the turn to finish the holes we missed. I dont know what has happened to the people who work here, but the course is great!

We went to Tucson for a week to play golf and this was our last course. I wish we had played it sooner, and played both.
It's a little awkward finding the place-it's as though golf was a second thought for the Loewe's resort. Once we found where we were going, everything was smooth and people very friendly. The range is some distance from the pro shop at the hotel, but once you get on the course and realize how big this property is, it becomes much more logical.
Great starter, and we were paired with a scratch and a +20 player who were both great companions.
The course is stunningly beautiful, and challenging to all levels. They have multiple tees, and combo settings that work well. Ask the starter where to play, and eliminate any tendency to exaggerate your skill. You can use all the help you can get.
My one comment is that these are some of the toughest greens to figure out I've ever seen. They are fast, and have a definite grain or break tendency. We spent the whole round trying to figure it out, and none of us ever got comfortable.

The cart girl was present for our first nine holes, then we never saw her again. You do not circle back past the snack shack at the turn, so that was a bit annoying.

All in all-a great place to play. Although we didn't try every place in Tucson, this must be one of the very best.
