No Directions!!

This course was lovely to play - but because the course and the hotel are not run by the same company there are absolutely NO signs to the course. So frustration sets in before you begin to play - just not good!

Beautiful course, fast greens

I played the Mountain course last year and the Canyon course is it's match. The course was in great condition and a great value for the internet price. The greens are hugh and very fast so it's hard not to have 3 putts. There are some fantastic views on some of the holes especially one the par 3s on the back. This is a MUST PLAY for anyone that appreciates a tough layout with great views and fast greens.

Canyon Course a Winner

My wife and I played the Ventana Resort Canyon Course and it was in excellent shape. The starter was very helpful, the staff were friendly and more than went out of their way to make sure all was good. Play on the back nine slowed down due to a slow foursome; yet that was ok we had a great time and we recommend this course if you are in the Tucson area.

Horrible Greens

The Staff was very friendly , the course has lots of nice views, but the 5 hour round of golf was way to slow and took away from the views. The greens are in rough shape, for it being March would have thought they would be better!

Value for the Money

For a $59 green fee the conditioning of the golf course was off the dial. I don't generally like resort courses but this is worth playing if you get a $59 deal.

The greens are unbelievably fast, difficult to read, extremely large and will eat up all but the best club golfers. The routing of the course is also unbelievable. You cannot walk the course...it is routed over 10 miles!! Fabulous views and a great deal at $59.

Nice track

Nice track except for all the travelling around from the pro shop to the range and back up the hill to the 1st tee. Why don't they reverse the nines? 10 is way closer to the starter and the range.

Golf Heaven on Earth

I have had the opportunity to now play both the Mountain & Canyon courses at Ventana. 'Golf Heaven'. The latest, the Canyon is an equally outstanding layout. Superb conditions (albeit the slickest greens you'll find in the area) coupled with friendly, helpful staff make for a very enjoyable experience.

Beautiful course

This is a beautiful course. Vistas were outstanding and the course overall was in excellent shape. My only issue was that the greens were firm and would rarely hold an approach shot. I would play it again!

Loved by two high handicappers

No two holes are even close to the same. There are plenty of tee box combinations to make the track enjoyable for anyone. No blind shots, long carries or cross fairway water hazards. We had a great time! The course is very popular so pace of play must be kept up.

Since it is a private course there is no 19th hole and the public can only play on one of the two courses each day.

Challenging with great scenery

Lots of fun. Would play again.

Only complaint was pace of play on back 9 was brutal. Player's assistant provided no help other than to say "It's really stacked-up"
