Resorts at Ventana Canyon: Loews and The Lodge

Played the Canyon course. Local knowledge would have helped - a lot! Beautiful setting, course in good condition, but I just played horribly. Practice facility is very good as was the condition of the greens. The greens, however, were very fast.

The course was in excellent condition, even during winter time.

The Mountain Course was the highlight of a Tucson golf binge a few years back that included about 10 courses over six days. While it's a true desert course, there is quite a bit of green grass visible off the tee, which is refreshing. The greens are really interesting and in typical Fazio fashion, every hole is a postcard. I suppose I have to mention the famous 3rd, whose tiny green is shellacked with ball marks, but the design ingenuity is quite remarkable. Homes are set back well off playing corridors and often tucked within desert vegetation, so it doesn't feel like you're in a big resort and residential community whatsoever. All-in-all, I can't think of a better way to enjoy desert golf.

Both the Canyon and Mountain courses were in excellent condition. Greens seemed a bit grainy, but lines were true. Overall a good value for the green fees paid.

Great course, views awesome, golf very playable but will get you in trouble with errant shot.

I have played this course many times in the past. It has slipped in quality in my opinion. The staff is less friendly. There is NO GPS and NO course book for guidance. AND, the bar (19th hole) was closed on a Saturday afternoon!?! For the same money, there are much better courses around Tucson to play. It's a bummer, I liked this course. This course will be a backup option in the future for my friends and I, rather than a course we always play.

The views from this coourse are stunning and the course is in excellent condition. Staff was very friendly and efficient.

The course is in spectacular condition and the greens were speedy and true. They had 3 inch rough off the fairways that added another dimension to the game. Get in there before they raise the prices. Pace of play was a little slow as nearly everyone was taking pictures because it was so nice!

Never disappoints. Great course in great condition right now

we are from colorado and come to arizona once a year;
always come to play at Ventana Canyon Mountain Course. It is wonderful. Cant recommend it highly enough. Carolyn and Joe Borus Denver

Course was in immaculate condition. Greens were difficult to read but were in great shape.

This is top resort golf, plush delightful .
This as expected was a little more cash but you get the value.
Lots of helpers , great range, beautiful club house with lots of shade for a desert.
#3 is a Fazio gem, Spectacular construction . Its a real knee knocker. We had a great day of Fun , a definite returner .

I love playing this course and i will definately go back.

Although it was that time of year (overseeding), and that it took us 4h¾ to play because of cart path only, we really enjoyed the course as it was very challenging. The greens were in great shape and fast. They dazzled us all day as we couldn't figure out the breaks and speed because of the mountain....

unfortunately we were stuck in a shotgun start, which we were not told about when we booked. The round started at 1:20 not 1:00 therefore with the crowded course and late start we could not finish 18 holes. not good value!!

Great course, moderate difficulty, fair and interesting. Cart path only, but it's typical for AZ. Excellent practice facility, especially short game area with great bunkers to practice. You'll have to negotiate your way on the course around a bunch of localc retirees in their mid-70's, but you can still play the course in fair amount of time. The only draw-back are the greens, they are a little too slow for CA standards, but this is the reality of the local grass, I believe.

The course is in great shape and provides challenges to all golfers. Super staff and facilities.

Beautiful course but play was much too slow. No evidence of any marshalling to help resolve slow play issues.

Great golf course and fantastic views. There is a Par 3 on the mountain course that is incredible. The views and surrondings are something to behold. The course was is great shape, greens a little slow due to overseeding but was a pleasure to play. The canyon course is closed so play is slower than normal.

Course is challenging and kept up as country club maintenance.

It had recently been overseeded so the greens were not good. Hadn't been mowed so everything was pretty slow to putt.

But I'd return because I enjoyed it so much.
