About Ventana Canyon Golf & Racquet Club

Ventana Canyon Golf & Racquet Club sits in a rugged canyon at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, surrounded by Sonoran Desert terrain of mesquite and saguaro.

The property has a long history. Indigenous peoples and later Spanish settlers lived off the land here, and by the 1920s the mountains had become a winter retreat for travellers escaping colder regions of the Midwest and Northeast. In 1926, homesteader Patsy Gillham established the Flying V Ranch in Ventana Canyon, among the earliest dude ranches in the country. The rustic desert retreat eventually evolved into today's club and lodge, which serves both members and resort guests.
