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
2nd time playing Tubac. I enjoy this course very much.
The overhanging trees on the cart path in areas is perfect. You don't get that at many courses. Tubac will be one of my regular courses to play. My wife and I just moved the southern Arizona so we've still have many courses to play but I think Tubac will always be in my top 5. There's just something about it that makes it so relaxing and fun to play, enjoy the fast greens, stray from the fairway though and will have your work cut out for you.
Go to say you played it if you’re a die hard Tin Cup fan. If not, don’t waste your time.
To b back
My husband and I always look forward to a day in Tubac when we return to Tucson. My we love the course layout , the friendliness , the atmosphere and the GREENS! Today they were great. Fire at the flagstick! Thanks for the experience.
Tubac
1st time playing this course. It was in good condition minus the falling leaves (it's that time of year).
We played in just under 4 hrs. Not being from this area I'm still getting use brown dormant grass along the fairways. All the staff were very pleasant.
I would absolutely play this course again and again.
Fun course to play occasionally
Staff was great, course condition was relatively good. Pin placements were a bit severe for a resort course. Pace of play reasonable but had to wait some on every hole.
Tubac has always been a fairly decent course. Really like the staff, they've always been nice to me. Course conditions have struggled as of lately but I understand that covid has made it hard. I really reccomend playing from the tips, it makes the course super fun and challenging. Personally, my favorite course is Rancho. I reccomend this course.
Tubac is Excellent!!!!
I love Tubac. Quickly becoming one of my favorites!
Nice resort course
Course was great. Good mix of easy , medium easy and a few tough holes. Good greens. Food from the shack was also very good. Cruised around in 3 hours. Excellent staff!
Very good after overseading
Excellent condition considering the course had just been overseeded. The greens were mowed and carts were allowed on the fairways and had a great time. I recommend play at Tubac AZ.
