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.

Spectator price? Disappointed

Expecting to pay an afternoon price for one on a round of 18 and also my little girl came with me so I wouldn't be by myself. Come to find to out there is a spectator fee of $25. I don't know, maybe this is normal at higher end courses but none the less I'm going take my daughters to a few courses a little further north where there isn't a spectator fee.

Average track

In fairness, January is probly the dormant growing season so conditions were not great. Fairways were thin with lots of scratchy lies. Greens were good but not great. Bunkers were good with enough good sand in them, but had not been raked by the staff on this day. The design/layout is fairly generic, no spectacular holes. Two 200+ yard par 3’s present stiff challenges, but overall course design is average. Shop and support staff are professional and friendly.

Pretty course some challenging holes. Rate of play was a little slow but overall ok. Was a fun course to play and the town was interesting. Overall worth a day spent in Tubac.

Couldn’t have been better

I got a GolfNow hot deal for 1 player. Fourth didn’t show so was just a 3some. Played with 2 novice golfers who I really enjoyed playing with even though I’m a 10 handicap. Played blue/white combos at 5900 yds. I’m 76 so 200 yd drives and 180 yd 3 woods if not we’ll got me to the green. Fun day

It was our first time playing Tubac and we were glad the course wasn’t busy and we weren’t pushed. The course is well marked and everyone was friendly. The greens are fast!

Great layout, but not in the best shape right now.

I always like playing this course but was disappointed in the condition at this time. Have seen it in much better shape in the past.

Always a good golf experience

I love the layout and the variety of holes and you cannot beat t he spectacular mountain views for virtually every tee box. Greens were fast which I like. It has a good practice facility and the practice green speed matched the course.

Great course

My son and I played this course for the first time. We booked one of the hot deals. It was a cooler morning and weather outlook was not promising so the course was essentially empty. The practice facility was top notch course Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to play our round in under 4 hrs, and as a bonus the weather cleared up and enjoyed the course and Mountain View’s

First time

After watching tin cup just had to play this course.

And while it didn’t have the exact 18th hole they did have a par 5 with water covering the approach, unfortunately I had to lay up :(.

Will I’ll be back again for sure.

Great setting

The course has a bit of everything except elevation changes. It’s pretty flat but that should be expected being that it’s along the river. Love the atmosphere, amenities, etc…
