Tubac Golf Resort - Rancho/Otero

While the staff were very friendly and helpful, the course was fair at best. There were no coolers on the cart. Water was only available at snack bar or beer cart on course - we took our own cooler for the following two days we played 9 holes. The cost shown was for the wife and I to play 9 holes - time frame was not peak season. When we asked if they had towels, they provide what can be best be described as rags. At best this resort is dated and in need of much TLC.

We were only able to play one of the 9 hole courses. It really needs a lot of TLC.

I have to confess the best part of playing there were the people we met.

Not what we were expecting for a resort type golf course. Absolutely no amenities at all. If you want water you purchased it from beer cart or get a cup of water from the small food service on course. No towels unless you ask and they are really just rags.

Best part are the people who work there. Very friendly.

Great course but needs marshals, not one nor two but three groups of six golfers playing one hole. Average time to play is 3:45- 4 hrs...not anymore 5 plus hours to play in 95 degree plus weather. 6 people per hole should never be even thought of in such a nice golf resort. Maybe a low cost muni in a big city but not when you have only a few choices in the area.

Nice golf course layout. Course was in good shape. Need to pay attention to signs for next hole to get around. The greens are a nice speed.

Fairways need work, some fairways don’t have grass

I love this course. It always seems to be in good shape. Challenging. Personnel were very friendly and accommodating. Great day of golf!

The play was extremely slow. Over 5 hours for the round. There was no ranger to move the slow players. The only but was that it was 4th of July.

This is a nice resort course with 27 holes. 9 we played were fantastic and the other 9 the greens were not near as good or same as the 9 we played. Too bad or would have rated higher. And absolutely zero water coolers on any of the 27 holes. Maybe they do that to make money on drinks, BUT when 4 months of the year are 95-100 degrees you need coolers on the course. Better hope no heat stroke out there or they are getting sued! Beautiful area, staff a bit put out that they must assist you, but overall one of our favorite 2 courses in the area.

I’ve played Tubac many times. Played Otero and Rancho 9’s. Otero and Rancho were in good shape but I’ve seen it in better shape. Greens were good but some showed signs of wear and tear. For the price, the value wasn’t great but it was still fun to play. Tubac is also cooler than green valley or Tucson . We teed off at 1:10 pm and the heat was not an issue and finished in 3.5 hours.

Fairway’s need work ! Greens are not consistent very from fast to slow ! Glad I played at a reduced rate !

so beautiful--wonderful surroundings--wonderful to see the cattle and see the very calming areas--fun courses--to me this is a must play for anyone who has never played--it can have a challenge for us seniors but still fun

This is the best course in Southern Arizona. Everything on the course is in great shape.
