Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway We open the Canyon Course with this delightful par 4 requiring a straight tee shot that favors the left side of the fairway. When approaching this generous green, it is advisable to stay right in the flag stick in order to leave yourself an uphill putt to the hole. This will be your first experience of the mountain effect.

Hole 2

From The Tee
From The Fairway The view on this uphill par 5 never gets old. To make birdie here, it’s imperative to keep your tee shot in the fairway especially for those who hope to get home in two. However, with the generous lay-up area, one must still be aware of the large bunkers that guard this two-tiered putting surface. Truly another Tom Fazio gem.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This lovely, downhill par 4 is a tempting invitation to the long ball hitter. But the trick here is to place your ball on the left side of the fairway. Moreover, be careful with your approach into a green that runs away from you and into the valley. Also, don’t be fooled by a front pin – par here is never automatic.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee It’s birdie time. This short, uphill par 4 is definitely reachable for the longer player. But wait until you reach the putting surface. Never is the mountain effect more apparent than on this green. In short, do your best to stay below the hole.

From The Tee This short but testy par 3 is where Tom Fazio truly brings the desert to life. One must favor the right side of the green here as everything will surely slope into the canyon. Par is indeed a great score.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway On this lengthy par 5, it is imperative to stay on the right side to avoid the gaping bunker on the left. This will be helpful in order to place your lay-up in the perfect position – which is left and short of the front fairway bunker – allowing you a clear look into this well-guarded green. If you are here in three, you have a great opportunity to make birdie.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee This challenging par 3 is not long, but we do say challenging because of a green that is somewhat difficult to hit and to hold. Anything short will be gobbled up by the right front bunker. If you make three here, then you probably have stolen one from the golf course.

Hole 9

From The Tee We complete the front nine with this stunning par 4 directly into the face of the Santa Catalina’s. A favorable tee shot is left of the right fairway bunkers, which will allow you to come into this two-tiered putting surface guarded by yet another group of green-side bunkers. As always, the mountain is an ever-present factor.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The back nine opens with an intriguing downhill par 4. As you stare down this beautiful desert line vista, you will see the famous Whaleback Rock in the distance. It is tempting to go for it in one, but be aware of the sand bunkers and large mesquite trees that run along the right side of the fairway. All in all, par is still a good score.

From The Tee Heading further down into the valley is yet another picturesque par 4. It is advisable to favor the right side on your tee shot. This allows you to have a wide open approach into a generous-sized green that is slightly guarded by a resident mesquite tree. Once again, while on the green you will feel the effect of the mountain slope

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Here is an uphill par 5 that is truly a spectacular piece of golf artistry. Undoubtedly a 3-shot hole for all players, it is mandatory to place the tee shot in the center of the fairway in order to avoid the desert wash on the right. While the fairway is separated, you will find the landing area of the rolling hills to be extremely generous. Don’t forget to take an extra club on your approach, whi

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee This wonderfully creative par 3 covers the native habitat impeccably. But the green is protected by a series of bunkers left and demanding slopes on the right. One less club is advisable due to the downhill grade. Try to stay right of the hole in order to make par, which is a respectable score.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A true risk/reward, this short par 4 may look easy, however it may be wise not to be too aggressive off the tee. The approach into this runaway green is best taken from the right side of the fairway and should be a careful and calculated shot. Watch again for the mountain effect.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This dogleg left par 4 encompasses the full embodiment of canyon golf. With hazardous bunkers to the left center of the fairway, it’s best to stay straight. Or – if you can – clear the sand. From there, you will have an open shot to an uphill green that slopes heavily from right to left. It is a genuine challenge for players at every level.

From The Tee
From The Fairway This brilliant par 4 is indeed a true test of golf. Players will surely appreciate how this dogleg right traverses the living desert. Keep away from the group of bunkers on the right side of the fairway and the indigenous, large mesquite tree that protects shots into this uphill green. Once again, the mountain truly comes into play.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Tom Fazio finishes off the Canyon Golf Course with this brilliantly designed par 5. An accurately-placed tee shot will enable you to try to get home in two. But laying up to a substantial landing area is preferred due to a small desert wash that protects the front of the green perfectly framed by both waterfalls and mountains. A charming end to your experience at Ventana Canyon
