Rating 69.5

Tubac Golf Resort is home to 27 holes of golf that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The resort is most famously known for providing the set for the golf movie "Tin Cup." It was most likely chosen for its lush landscape of mature trees and cottonwood groves along with its dry, temperate climate. The Otero/Anza combination features some tricky water hazards. The par-3 ninth hole on the Anza nine has an island green similar to the notorious 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. The ninth hole on the Otero nine features an expansive lake that runs alongside the left side of the green. In addition to the three golf courses, Tubac Golf Resort also features an extensive practice facility with a driving range, putting green, and practice bunker.

Tubac

Went to play cause everyone said that was where Tin Cup was filmed. That particular course was closed. But that info wasn’t readily available. Would be nice to know if particular. I used are closed to properly plan. Sometime you want to play a different course that you had in the past.

Too many dead areas in the fairways

I have been playing golf at Tubac for decades, before Tin Cup fame. The fairways on the Anza/Otero loop were in the worst condition i have ever seen. Very large areas with dead grass and none of it marked as ground under repair. One several of the "fairways" all there was there were a few patches of green in a sea of brown. The greens were, by and large, in good condition with mud and standing water around several of the greens, so water does not seem to be the problem.

Disappointed

Course is in surprisingly poor shape. Fairways are dry so good drives get punished. Greens and Fringes were in good shape. However, save your money and play elsewhere. TJ w course is not worth what they are asking.

When we got there we met a gentleman named Ken and he was great. helped with our bags, answered all our questions knew the history of the place forwards and backwards and even gave us some tips and tricks about the field of play.

A Great Course to Play

Wonderful course at the Tubac Golf Resort & Spa. The course has 27 holes. I played Otero 9 & Rancho 9. Beautiful scenery around the entire course. The course is very playable but some fast greens can present a challenge. Course was in fantastic shape, especially when compared to Phoenix area course. The green fee is very reasonable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It was a great 3 day getaway.

Bit overrated but nice

This is a fine golf course with nice greens and trees. Girl friendly.

The parking to club drop off is confusing. Long walk after parking your car. The bar drinks are pricey. Can’t buy drinks at the clubhouse had to find the shack by the carts.

Great day!

I took three guests from Los Angeles visiting me in Tucson, Arizona… We made the hour and 10 minute drive I found the course to be in excellent condition… The greens were also as good as I’ve seen them at two back… Everything worked out perfectly! We all had a blast! You also can’t go wrong with the egg and chorizo burrito for breakfast at the shack… We finished around at the salon which is always a fun place to hang out with friendly staff and plenty of choices on the menu… Looking forward to getting back soon… John Orcutt Potentially

Unique setting

This is the third time playing there. Each time was enjoyable. The course is medium difficulty, but always unique with the feel of being on a ranch with its cattle & cowboy decor.,
