About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Style Parkland
Par 71
Length 6435 yards
Slope 125
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.

Lovely (but wet)

Rancho/Anza, both in good shape but very wet, especially in front of all greens. Staff is always friendly, and pace of play was great (since we were first out)

Tubac was tinny

Fun place with great surroundings. The course conditions were not impressive. Cows walking in fairways and had obviously walked on greens as well. Sand traps rock hard. Layout is confusing crossing tenth hole to play 9 then back to 10th. Regular rate of $79 is too high. Evidenced by loads of empty tee times. Made trip w overnight to play it twice and did not play second day.

We were not told till we arrived that only 9 holes were open, so we had to play same 9 again. However, golf now gave us a partial refund.

Not worth the price

While the staff were very friendly and helpful, the course was fair at best. There were no coolers on the cart. Water was only available at snack bar or beer cart on course - we took our own cooler for the following two days we played 9 holes. The cost shown was for the wife and I to play 9 holes - time frame was not peak season. When we asked if they had towels, they provide what can be best be described as rags. At best this resort is dated and in need of much TLC.

Not worth the money

We were only able to play one of the 9 hole courses. It really needs a lot of TLC.

I have to confess the best part of playing there were the people we met.

Average golf

Not what we were expecting for a resort type golf course. Absolutely no amenities at all. If you want water you purchased it from beer cart or get a cup of water from the small food service on course. No towels unless you ask and they are really just rags.

Best part are the people who work there. Very friendly.

5 hour round

Great course but needs marshals, not one nor two but three groups of six golfers playing one hole. Average time to play is 3:45- 4 hrs...not anymore 5 plus hours to play in 95 degree plus weather. 6 people per hole should never be even thought of in such a nice golf resort. Maybe a low cost muni in a big city but not when you have only a few choices in the area.
