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.

Tubac
Very nice course, greens were very receptive and fairways we're wet, but played fairly.
Would play there again anytime.
Tim Cup
Very nice course. Course conditions were great (other than the rain storm we encountered), fairways and greens were in pristine condition. Don’t let the short par 3 and several par 4’s fool you. Very challenging course if you get in bad position. Play smart and you will be rewarded with a low score. The 9 holes where some of the scenes from Tin Cup was filmed was being worked on but nonetheless a beautiful course to put on your list to play.
Otero is my favorite
Beautiful setting, fun and challenging corses. Staff are friendly and helpful!
Challenging
This is a fun and challenging course with a lot of trees and water.
Golf at Tubac Country Club
Always a pleasure to golf at this course due to the beautiful setting and relaxing atmosphere. The conditions were wet due to the rain the night before, but that was expected. We look forward to golfing there again soon.
Great Saturday morning round
Teed off at 7am on a Saturday and had a great round. Truly one of the best courses in Southern Arizona. Course is well maintained and the layout is fun and challenging. Also nice to play the Tin Cup hole. We’ll be back soon.
Over hyped course
Got a good deal on Golfnow but wasn't worth the hour and 15 min drive. Lost a few balls in the middle of the fairway where grass was over grown. Greens were ok very soft. but the fairways need work. I was expecting a resort course to be in better shape.
Tubac Resort
Very nice course, the greens were fantastic! Pace of play was slow on the 1st 9 holes, good on the 2nd 9 holes. Staff was very nice.T
Vanishing act
Good course, fairways and rough were shaggy. Lost a few balls due to shaggy grass, “Tubac triangle” and some dudes that picked up our balls. Members are always snotty and don’t move very fast. Other than that, had a great time.
Tubac - Tin Cup Course
The course was in okay shape but the Monsoon weather in Arizona could have been a factor. The fairways needed to be mowed and the edges of the greens had some mechanical damage on the Othero course. The Greens were very soft and held the ball well and the putting surface was smooth and good speed. Overall a great time.
