Resorts at Ventana Canyon: Loews and The Lodge

Great conditions, beautiful course. Covers a vast area, so is not walkable. (at all).

I am new to Golf now but have been satisfied with my experiences far. I continue to look for ways to enjoy my association with golf now.

An outstanding day of golf in the Southern Arizona summer. It was hot but we did not think anything of it nor did the temperature even become part of our conversations. Slight breeze in the dry air made it comfortable.

As for the course, the views of the dramatic Catalina mountain ranges coupled with the perfectly maintained tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens.

Entire experience was excellent and cannot even think of one thing I'd recommend for improvement.

the staff was very friendly and helpful, the course was in excellent shape, they had just finished up on the reseeding of the greens. It was an enjoyable round I will go back again.

First time playing the Mountain course at Ventana Canyon and it will definitely not be the last. Course for late June was in spectacular shape from tee to green with the greens being pool table smooth. I have played over 35 courses in 2017 and this was by far the best conditioned course I have played all year. Also stayed on the property which made everything very convenient. Would highly recommend playing either course at this facility and look forward to going back in the near future

Course is very nice and the third hole is fun to play.

Great day was marred by slow pace of play.

Second time playing at this course with clients. The views of the mountains and canyon are spectacular and the service team are great. Amy did a great job of keeping us hydrated with water and a few Micheladas.

You might not know this but Ventana and probably some other courses will NOT give you credit for your Paid Online amount against your green fees. Instead, they will divide it up evenly among the members of your group giving each player some of YOUR money as an additional green fee discount. If you play Ventana be sure to know before you pay how the Paid Online dollars are to be handled. Do not pay or play until you are satisfied with how the pro shop handles Paid Online dollars.

Having never been to the course , we found it a challenge to locate the golf shop , the one sign was covered by shrubbery . I sent the wife off to get us checked in while I unloaded the clubs and went in search of her and the carts .NO BAG DROP. I certainly expected that amenity at a facility like this one. Once loaded in the cart , it seems be to a half a mile to locate the starter , with a hiccup on the drive. We were to follow the white dots on the cart path , however about half way to the destination is a sign that says golf registration which sends you in another direction. Back on track we make it to the range /halfway house and starter. We ice up and head out to one of the most spectacular courses I have played. Stunning views , plentiful wildlife and a course in great shape . The wife and I had a great time on course and would play it again. Negatives , no cart lady on an afternoon in the 105 degree range. Also , the pro shop closed upon our return so no opportunity to purchase any clothing, etcetera.

Positives , the gentlemen running the starting area and cart return. Most helpful and pleasant.

Course was in great shape, staff was awesome and overall great value

This course is beautiful in so many ways, the views, the layout of the holes, and just the desert beauty! The greens were absolutely the best I've played here in Tucson, very receptive to your approach shots and super smooth! The fairways were just as beautiful and green, the few that I hit anyway. Difficult as are all the desert target courses so hitting it straight is definitely necessary. Cold water is available it seemed on at least every other hole which is a plus when it's 100° outside, as well as ice and water available at the turn. Got a great rate on GolfNow.com. The only downside I guess was the cost of food and drinks on the course, spent half as much for that as I did for my round of golf. Otherwise a fantastic experience!

Hot day, but the beautiful course helped overlook that. I have always liked this course.

Playing by yourself is fun and I enjoyed doing that on the Mountain course. Lots of driving between holes was annoying, but tees, fairways and bunkers were in great shape - greens were aerated a week earlier and sadly, were still sandy and very slow which really took away from the day......also, it was hot out there and while they have water on every other hole, there's no ice except at the turn so beware.

Very nice course and will go back when it's cooler

Very nice course in good shape. Check in process strange... difficulties finding pro shop ...bag drop not marked as such..no one to greet you ..had to carry clubs down stairways. Practice area great and very nice starter. But when we were leaving..no one there to help with clubs till we started looking around for a way up. Then the guy got a bit cray that our friend looked by the desk for a trash can. Service at the front end needs work!

The greens were so ridiculously fast and hard that it was impossible any greens. That and the pace of play (5 hours and 20 minutes) took all the joy out of that round. Especially after you consider the high fees.
