Winding through the canyons and arroyos of this fabulous 600-acre high Sonoran Desert preserve are the two spectacular Tom Fazio-designed championship golf courses that are on every list of the nation's very best.

MOUNTAIN COURSE - At the highest point on the golf course sits Ventana Canyon's signature third hole. One of the most photographed holes west of the Mississippi, this short par three is tucked into the rugged rocks of the Santa Catalina mountains and plays across a canyon of cacti. The tee offers a breathtaking panorama that stretches across the Sonoran desert into Mexico. Bring your camera, you'll want to remember this!

CANYON COURSE - As the Mountain course climbs up the Santa Catalina foothills, the Canyon course takes a different route. The front nine winds down through the inspiring beauty of Esperrero Canyon. Visit during the monsoon season and you are sure to see rushing water through the desert washes. As you turn to the back nine, look for the iconic Whaleback Rock. With generous fairways and picturesque views throughout, you are sure to enjoy this desert gem!
