VENTENA CANYON RESORT

Front entrance to resort. Love the architecture and ambience. Everything about this place is palacial.

The view from the terrace near the front entrance.

NOW that's a cactus.






Looking down the 18th hole of the Canyon Course. Again a view from the front entrance of resort. Going to play this tomorrow. Last played this course in 1986.
