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.

Anza/Rancho

Incredible layout in a setting that is one of the best in southern Arizona. It had just rained and cooled things down significantly. I’ll be back for sure!

Summer Rain

It rained hard right after I hit my first tee shot on 1 (Anza). I sat under some trees and waited about 20 minutes. The temperature dropped nearly 30 degrees. After the rain passed it was the most beautiful Sonoran desert round I’ve played in 30 years. Deer and turkey were out on the course. The smell in the air after rain in the desert was absolutely amazing! The only part that sucked was me going 5 over on the last 4 holes to shoot an 83. I will go back to Tubac Country Club as often as I can. Go check it out!!

Tuba

I was not happy to pay 30 dollar extra for my wife ride on cart. This was not the case when I played here in the past. Good to know now, i will not go back there or recommend friends.
