Tubac Golf Resort - Rancho/Otero
Rating Snapshot
About
Set on the historic 500-acre Otero Ranch, Tubac Golf Resort near Tucson features 27 holes designed by Red Lawrence and Ken Kavanaugh. The Rancho Nine, which was named for the owners of Tubac's Golf Club in Cave Creek, includes one of the holes that was featured in the movie, "Tin Cup," starring Kevin Costner. It also features a perilous three-hole stretch called the "Tubac Triangle," as well as the aptly named 651-yard, par-5 eighth, dubbed "Train Wreck." The Otero Course, named for the family that established the ranch in 1789, is Tubac's original nine. Featuring beautiful bentgrass greens, the golf course is routed through cottonwood and mesquite groves.

Okie spring break
We really enjoyed playing here. The only problem I had was very limited water to drink on the course and when we found something it was warm I would recommend this to anybody.
Need marshals to move things along
What do they have against ball washers? None to be found anywhere. Guy in front of us waited for the green to clear on par 4s twice prior to teeing off from the whites. (He rolled both shots) where are the marshals for dopes
like this?
What a gem!
We are residents in the area and this was the first time to play at Tubac. What an absolute pleasure and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Great atmosphere and great people. The course is also in fantastic shape (our CC home course is not as good as this)! Great layout and playing conditions. We kept raving about it after we left. Don’t hesitate and do yourself a favor and go!
2:12 tee time.
I booked a late tee time for Sunday March 8. The course was in excellent shape, Marshall came to check on us to make sure the pace of play was good. I appreciated this check.
Always a good experience
Once again Tubac reminds me that it's always worth booking a round. Staff was fun & friendly. Course was in great condition with a super considerate grounds crew. Definitely a must play if given the opportunity.
Tin cup rounds
You play two different 9 hole courses for the 18.
It’s pretty cool you play either Otero then Rancho or Anza and Rancho . The Rancho course is the Tin Cup movie course. It was a great time. Stay at the resort and play all courses you’ll love it. Beautiful scenery.
Worth the drive
Tubac is a three nine course. We played Anza/Otero. We had hoped to play Ranchero (where Tin Cup) was filmed but did no t). Both nines were nice hut definitely stretched out. Fairways were nice, greens were very nice and fast. While playing, you realize that you are away from the city. Beautiful adobe homes, mountain vistas and quiet. Worth the drive.
Great course and practice facilities
This was my first time playing this course. But I can’t wait to play it again! It was a cooler wet day.. the mountains were beautiful soo was the course. Fun! The food from the cantina was delicious and served a great Bloody Mary
