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.

Anza could use some TLC. The courses are a little gimmicky,but interesting and fun to play . A unique peace of property !
Incredible Course
Loved the layout trees vows water really beautiful
Poorest first 9 I’ve experienced since October
I was very disappointed to find that all of the fairways on the first nine I played were dried out straw coloured and were impossible to judge distances on. I chose this course because I understood it to be one of the more select ones but, having played 5 other less prestigious courses in the area, I found them all to be in better condition and were much less expensive. I will not be playing this course again until I hear reports that it has recovered.
Love the place!
The place is really beautiful! the course was a bit dry but the atmosphere was fantastic!! I really likes the experience.
Loved the course, but...
Great course, great views, terrific staff.
BUT...players unfamiliar with the course NEED a picture of each hole layout-- which way does the dogleg go?,,,where are the penalty areas?... to avoid "blind" shots.
On a certain par-5, my playing partner was SURE the fairway went left, while I thought it went right. He ended up a mile away and, while I was correct, my ball ended up under the lip of a bunker that I could not have guessed was there.
Rancho was nice - Anza was poor
We enjoyed playing Rancho. The fairways and greens were in great condition.
Anza was in poor condition. Would not go back to play Anza.
Slow pace of play , 2 slow 2somes & a group of 5 ( didn’t think 5 was allowed ? ) ahead of us . Ranger didn’t seem to be able to resolve it , maybe intimidated by the 5 men , but could have had the 2 somes join up or move along quicker . Painful pace of play , finished in the dark. !
Great course play kid of slow, why would you let a 5 some play and not group up 2 somes???. Loved the course
Great Service
I really enjoyed this course. The people we got paired with wer easy to get along with and we were happy with the conditions of the fairways and greens.
Non player rider
Paid $30 for non player passenger is way too much much for just a rider. I think the managers should look into of reducing the price for anyone who wants to ride a long like spouses or partner who wants to accompany their love ones
