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.

Maintenance

The only issue we had on Monday is that maintenance workers were soaking the greens while we were attempting to play. Those greens should be watered the night before or the early morning BEFORE golfers start playing. It's actually rude and unprofessional for Tubac course to have workers out while golfers are out.

Course and Staff Great

I love this course. It is wide enough and open to keep you in play and you have to think about your shots off the tee.

I would say that the course is kinda confusing in terms of layout and driving it can get a little wonky at times.

Fun Course

It was a nice day to play, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I were joined by a fun couple, and we had a lot of fun. It was also fun to see holes featured in Tin Cup, and we even watched the movie again that evening.

Fun course

I like the layout of this course and the history. Staff is friendly and amenities are very clean. My only complaint would be the charge for spectator. Is very high. I have to remember to just pay for an extra player which is about the same price for spectator.

Course conditions improved

Tubac Golf course has suffered a bit over the last few months due to a severe water shortage. Recent rains have certainly helped and the greens are now in good shape and fairways are seeing more grass. Reseeding of Anza is still underway but should be ready soon and then I believe they will close Otero for similar maintenance. Traps are in need good sand, but still it is a great layout.

Terrible conditions

Been coming out to Tubac since 1987. I live in Phoenix. This was the absolute worst condition I have ever seen the course in. Don’t tell me it’s the winter grass transition period. Way too many ares not only brown but just dirt. No grass at all. Now the brown grass areas and abundant dirt areas are now encroaching the areas of play. The rates continue to go higher and higher to stay at the resort each year and the golf course conditions get worse year after year. So disappointing!!!
