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.

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.

Nice golf course layout. Course was in good shape. Need to pay attention to signs for next hole to get around. The greens are a nice speed.

Great shape!

Played the Otero and Anza courses mid-week, the greens were fantastic - smooth and soft, and we played in under 4 hours. Absolutely great value on a Hot Deal.

Slow

The play was extremely slow. Over 5 hours for the round. There was no ranger to move the slow players. The only but was that it was 4th of July.

No water on the course

This is a nice resort course with 27 holes. 9 we played were fantastic and the other 9 the greens were not near as good or same as the 9 we played. Too bad or would have rated higher. And absolutely zero water coolers on any of the 27 holes. Maybe they do that to make money on drinks, BUT when 4 months of the year are 95-100 degrees you need coolers on the course. Better hope no heat stroke out there or they are getting sued! Beautiful area, staff a bit put out that they must assist you, but overall one of our favorite 2 courses in the area.

Still fun to play but it’s seen better days.

I’ve played Tubac many times. Played Otero and Rancho 9’s. Otero and Rancho were in good shape but I’ve seen it in better shape. Greens were good but some showed signs of wear and tear. For the price, the value wasn’t great but it was still fun to play. Tubac is also cooler than green valley or Tucson . We teed off at 1:10 pm and the heat was not an issue and finished in 3.5 hours.
