Tubac Golf Resort - Rancho/Otero

The weather was nice and sunny and the two other players that joined us were friendly and made the round tolerable.

The course conditions were poor due to no green grass to speak of on the Anza 9 holes. The Rancho nine holes were not much better due to the greens poor condition and the dead skunk on the hole 11 fairway.

We have played Tubac many times in the past and have never experienced such poor conditions.

played here several times. Fairways were not in the best of shape. Greens a little thin on grass on some holes

There are better courses to play in the area. I thought AZ courses use rye grass for fairways in the winter months

I showed up to my 2:20pm tee time at 2:10pm, completely ready to go at 2:15pm. We were approached by the manager, who told us we would need to wait an extra full hour or two because we “missed our tee time” even though we were perfectly on time. I tried showing them our reservation on my phone and the time that I booked it for, but my evidence was turned down with a cold “you should’ve shown up sooner or called the shop ahead of time”. Another employee decided to have the decency to attempt to figure out a way for us to get on the course so we wouldn’t have waisted our money. Fortunately, he was able to help us, but I am still shocked about how the manager treated my group and how she handled the situation. I’ve golfed at this course for as long as I can remember and it is fun, but best of luck to whoever has to deal with that unprofessional and rude manager.

The Otero nine was not in good shape - fairways were quite bare and greens seemed to be crowned around the holes (balls were heading straight into the hole and would turn right at the hole). The Ranchero nine was in good shape. Enjoyed the references to the Tin Cup. The carts were not allowed on the fairways on a few holes so required quite a bit of walking back and forth across the fairways. Otherwise, the pace of play and the weather conditions were all good. We would play this course again and recommend it to others.

Ortero course was not in good condition - very sparse fairways. We had so many putts that jut rimmed or turned at the hole that there must be an issue with leveling the area around the hole. Rancero was in good condition. It was unfortunate that there were several holes you could not take the carts on. The pro shop staff was excellent - very welcoming and friendly, Would return to this course & recommend it to friends.

Anza could use some TLC. The courses are a little gimmicky,but interesting and fun to play . A unique peace of property !

Loved the layout trees vows water really beautiful

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.

The place is really beautiful! the course was a bit dry but the atmosphere was fantastic!! I really likes the experience.

Most of their fairways were pretty crispy, very dry!

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.

We enjoyed playing Rancho. The fairways and greens were in great condition.

Anza was in poor condition. Would not go back to play Anza.
