No, 3 at Ventana Mountain Course Omni Tucson National Resort Our home base for the week was the Omni Tucson National Resort. In addition to providing two spectacular golf courses, there is a highly rated spa, three dining options including Bob’s Steak and Chop House, plus easy access to Tucson’s best outdoor activities. The Devlin-Van Hagge Catalina Course hosts the PGA Tour Champions Cologuard Classic every February and has hosted over 30 PGA Tour events. Unlike the other courses on our schedule, this is a true parklands style course; with large trees replacing the saguaro cactus and lakes instead of desert. Like any tour course, the challenges are great while the rewards are exhilarating. After golf, return to your spacious suite for a well-deserved rest, or head to the pool for a relaxing cool down. More options for golf include Arizona National and Sewailo Golf Club, but Tucson is so much more than great golf. Now considered a foodie destination, Tucson is home to the famous “23 Miles of Mexican Food.” This includes the oldest Mexican restaurant in the country continuously operated by the same family; El Charro, where the chimichanga was invented in 1922! To get a flavor of the old west, we even had a chuckwagon dinner at the White Stallion Ranch, one of the few “dude” ranches still in operation in Tucson. With average winter temperatures in the mid 60’s, great golf and food, Tucson is a can’t miss destination.
