Tubac Golf Resort - Otero/Anza

Was excited to play this course again after several years. Saw they had added a third nine and really wanted to play the ‘Tin Cup’ nine, as I was bringing a friend who had never played there and had seen the movie. Wanted to make it a memorable experience for them.

Called before booking to see how I might be able to ensure we would be booked to play that nine during our round. Associate over the phone was unwilling to explain their course rotation and was unaccommodating on the matter… said you get what you get when booking.

Arrived to the course to find that range balls are not included. You are… a) a ‘luxury resort’ and b) are charging over $110 a round… plenty of places with better reputations than Tubac offer this amenity to patrons… but you figure since people already came all this way… they’ll just take it or leave it.

The only positive was the Starter that morning. I had explained my less than stellar interaction on the phone prior to booking and our desire to play the Tin Cup nine. The starter, without hesitation offered to work some tee sheet magic to get us on the rotation to play the Rancho nine. They had a viable solution, but would require we tee off within just a few minutes having just arrived.

Ultimately we decided a proper warmup would make for a better day (and score) on the course than rushing to play our desired nine. No complaints about the weather and playing partners were great that day. Course was in great condition overall.

Just bummed about the ‘stuck up’ vibe from everyone I interacted with (except the starter! They were exemplary and deserve a raise!)

One of my favorite courses in Tucson area. Doesn't matter which two nines you play. Course was in great shape as always. I wish other courses took as good care of their courses as Tubac does. You won't be disappointed. Easily top 5 in Tucson area.

I had read how good the course was and basically it was a decent course. A couple of holes were fairly tough, but overall the course was wide open. I think once was enough to play the course, nothing really made me want to return, especially for the price.

The course was in great shape and there are strategically place traps and ponds to make it challenging. It is more expensive than some of the other courses in the area, but I got a good rate via Golf Now.

Love the old mesquite trees lining the course. Great design and fun to play. A must for any level of golfer.

Our group enjoyed the course very much. Despite recent rain the course itself was very dry and the greens were not receptive. Lost a number of good shots to hard bounces and a lot of roll out. Playing on the Tin Cup holes was neat, and we liked how the course acknowledged the scenes with informative plaques. Without actually trying I managed to drop a bunch of balls on the famous hole. Lunch after was excellent with reasonable prices. The staff throughout the day was exceptional.

When you add lots of mature trees ranch setting with cattle, a pretty unique setting. With 3 nines that are all different makes for a fun 18.

Nice course, slightly tricked up in places, but lots of fun. A desert course must have water available in the carts and on the course. No help offered to unload or load clubs. Really need to work with some of the bag staff on friendliness and helpfulness.
