About this course
The Catalina Course is one of two courses at Omni Tucson National Resort in Tucson, Arizona, laid out on former cotton-field land in the desert north of downtown.
The course opened in 1961, designed by Robert Bruce Harris, and was substantially redesigned in 1983 by Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. It hosted PGA Tour events for decades, including the Tucson Open beginning in 1965 and again from 1997 to 2006, as well as the 1966 U.S. Senior Amateur.
Catalina plays as a traditional parkland-style layout with tree-lined fairways, multiple lakes and bunkering that tightens the driving areas, and it remains open to resort guests and the public.

The design incorporates the natural contours and features of the quarry, creating a challenging layout with elevation changes and strategic shot placements. The course is known for its rugged beauty, with exposed rock formations and desert vegetation framing many of the holes.
