Ventana Canyon

The Catalina Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for this desert masterpiece where massive granite boulders and towering saguaros frame every shot. Tom Fazio's routing maximizes the natural drama, particularly on the signature third hole where you play directly toward a spectacular rock formation that doubles as both target and hazard. The conditioning remains exceptional year-round despite the harsh Sonoran climate, making this Arizona daily-fee gem a must-play for anyone serious about desert golf architecture.
