Here's what others have had to say about Lodge at Ventana Canyon.
"We love this place. The setting is gorgeous and the hotel staff is so friendly and professional. It is the best room set up for families that we have ever found anywhere (loft suite). It is extremely good value for the money. Scott Anders (head pro) is a fantastic, inspirational teacher - he really listens and raises your game. When we visit Tucson, we would never consider staying anywhere else."—P.B., Adv. Int., April 2012
"Beautiful desert location. Great PBI tennis instructors with great daily clinics. Loads of fun!!!!"—B.A., Adv. Int., March 2012
"My wife and I stayed at the Lodge for 10 days where we met Scott Anders, the head tennis pro. We took lessons and joined group events. We learned to analyze our opponent when serving, and we learned about the five return zones in doubles. We discussed and practiced chip shots. We found Scott informative and helpful --- an excellent coach.
We also met other club members during a Valentine’s Day mixer. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. We mixed opponents and were delighted to play with other couples with similar interests and abilities. We’ll be sure to return to the Lodge in the future."—R.H., Adv. Int., February 2012
"We first visited the Lodge at Ventana Canyon in February 2011 and, after having such a great experience with the tennis program there, returned in February 2012. Scott Anders, the PBI director, is very welcoming and an excellent instructor. He is very active in promoting his tennis program and even though most of those we played with (or against) were local members and not Lodge guests, we were always made to feel welcomed into the program. The fact that this year we ran into many of the same people we met the first year shows that they love the tennis program also. Scott is active with his members in their league play, but not too busy to hold clinics, drills, round robin tournaments and was available each time we asked for private instruction. He always offers to find suitable opponents for play.
The Lodge is unique in that it is primarily a golf club with local members supporting the facility. There are only about 50 rooms to book so it feels very homey and comfortable and the staff takes an interest in your stay. The rooms are spacious, the beds are great and there is even a small kitchen with refrigerator, oven, cooktop, dishwasher and microwave if you wish to dine in.
We will return soon to enjoy the Lodge at Ventana Canyon again."—J.H., Int., February 2012
"This is the 4th year we have visited the Lodge and continue to be pleased with the friendliness and inclusiveness of the tennis staff as well as the quality of the accommodations and restaurant. We intend to again return to this very special resort."—A.S., Adv. Int., February 2012
"I am 68 and rated a 4.5. Scott Anders, the pro at the Lodge at Ventana Canyon was great in helping me vastly improve my overhead and my topspin lob. He was intelligent and enthusiastic and knowledgeable and fun....and we were playing tennis. What more can you ask. The joy and thrill of improving is not gone!!! I wholeheartedly endorse Scott Anders and the Lodge at Ventana Canyon."—C.M., Adv., February 2012

"I loved how accessible the tennis was and how friendly all of the staff was. However, the restaurants seemed understaffed when we would come in for a break. Not sure how to address that but it was tough when we only had an hour break and all needed to eat but there would only be one or two staffers to accommodate our group of 30 as well as the other guests."—K.C., Int., November 2011

"Rooms very well appointed, staff very helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, pros participated with us in drills and round robins if needed. The courts were well lit and always available to us. Truly, I cannot say anything negative about this resort. Food was great as well."—R.C., Adv. Int., November 2011
"I thought not only the resort but the staff were outstanding.
The Tennis Pros were outstanding. Very professional and willing to help."—P.G., Int., November 2011
"The special attention at any club is "Key" to success whether we need direction or just plain attention. This lodge gave us all of that and more. The gift bag for the group is always special and fun."—J.B., Adv. Int., November 2011
