Tubac Golf Resort - Rancho/Otero
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.

Golfer Reviews
Repeat for certain
Would definitely go back, would be a great place for a 2-3 day stay.
Unique course
Fun place to paly, especially with the "Tin Cup" hole and cows.
Fun course to play
Tubac offers great challenges and is very scenic. A fun course to play if you can get a deal.
Repair/Prepare the sand traps
For a 'resort" course the greenside and fairway bunkers were in terrible condition. Hard packed sand (if that's what it is), animal tracks and unraked footprints and shot divots everywhere. For a premium price I expect premium conditions.
Tubac 24
Excellent course and staff .
First class all the way !

Marvelous!
We enjoyed a glorious day on Otero and Rancho courses. My golfing left a great deal to be desired but that was about "me" and not the course. :(
Confusion
The layout is a confusing maze of three 9 hole courses that was fun to play. Both myself and the pair I was grouped with booked online, but the starter said we were not on his sheet. They pushed my tee time almost an hour because of their issue. They need to figure out their booking system. Best grilled cheese I've ever had at a golf course.
This course had great features
This course was a excellent layout with friendly staff. Fairways and greens were a little rugged for a course of this caliber. Probably due to the heavy play in this Tubac resort community. Pace of play was excellent even after a short frost delay. I would definitely play again on my next visit to this southern Arizona area.
Great Course! Inconsistent Service
This is one of my favorite courses in southern Arizona, but the service leaves much to be desired. The pro shop, reservations people and starters never seem to be on the same page. When I book a time, the starter often doesn’t have my name. There has also been multiple times when they’ve been rude with me for no apparent reason. Once, they even scolded me for showing up late even though I was 45 minutes early. Even if I WAS late that isn’t acceptable. They need to do better.
Greens were very receptive to shots, but a bit grainy due having been recently sanded.
