Omni Tucson National's Catalina and Sonoran golf courses: Two distinct courses, two distinct plays
Omni Tucson National's two golf courses feature completely different looks and feels. The Catalina Course is a traditional-style layout with gentle contours and tree-lined fairways. While Tom Lehman's Sonoran Course features a desert design.

The western foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains are rugged, rocky and unforgiving and can be a harsh environment. But golf course architect Dick Bailey tamed the land -- somewhat -- when he designed The Preserve Golf Club at SaddleBrooke. The par-72, 7,006-yard course, sitting at 3,200 feet in elevation, may be one of the finest Tucson golf courses you've never heard of. Golf course reviewers haven't exactly rushed to the site, but you should.

Quarry Pines Golf Club isn't the glitziest golf course in Tucson, but it is the best bargain. Quarry golf courses are some of the most entertaining you will ever play, and Quarry Pines is no exception. It's a fun and challenging course, and you can't beat the scenery -- or the price.

There are so many forced carries over desert at The Golf Club at Vistoso in northeast Tucson that it should be included in the course's name. How difficult are the forced carries? You may want to fill out a flight plan before you play a round there, Scott Bordow writes. Vistoso might be one of the more difficult 6,900-yard tracks in all of Arizona.

Once you've played its signature third hole, the Mountain course at Ventana Canyon Golf and Racquet Club turns into a gimmick-free, subtle, gently rolling, pure test of desert golf. It's for the best that the famous, 107-yard canyon shot comes so early in the round. It's a show-stopper, but also a pace-slower, writes Brandon Tucker, and not necessarily indicative of the style at this Tom Fazio-designed gem.

By the time you get to the first green on the Canada Course at the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort, you get a pretty good idea of what's in store. The vistas and several imaginative holes are probably why the Canada Course is the favorite 18-hole layout among resort guests. There are lots of great views, twists and turns. I really enjoyed this layout, and when you think about it, shouldn't that be the goal of a resort course?

Day in and day out, members of Hilton El Conquistador Country Club prefer the Conquistador Course among the resort's 45 holes. It's your first clue to play the Conquistador, a challenging layout that features six tee combinations. It flows nicely, offers nice variety and demands use of every clubs in your bag, Mike Bailey writes.

Omni Tucson National's Catalina Course would be a good golf course if no PGA Tour events had ever been held here. The fact that there have been more than 30 adds some mystique and aura to the 7,262 yards. You'll have nice green fairways to try and reenact the shots of legends and non-legends past, too.

With a 146 slope rating and greens where putts never seem to stop, the Roadrunner nine at Tucson's Starr Pass Country Club is anything but resort-course routine in Arizona desert golf.

If you're playing golf in Tucson, you want to get out to Starr Pass Country Club, and you want to make sure Coyote is one of your nines. Not that the other options, Roadrunner and Rattler, are slouches. But Coyote provides close encounters with the desert like no other course. This is a challenging play, almost the antithesis of your usual, run-of-the-mill resort golf course.
