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.

Great golf experience.

Tubac is always a pleasure to play. Great big old trees, beautiful scenery along the Santa Cruz river and usually we see lots of wildlife. Not much elevation change but it’s still challenging and the surrounding Mountain View’s are stunning!! Conditions were excellent!!

Great Day!!

Tyipcal Tubac

Great greens that roll true. Fairway and rough in really good shape, traps are playable which is not the case at many in the Tucson/Green Valley area. Everyone was super, the bag guy, one from the Spring that was abit surly was still not the most friendly guy but it was just him, everyone else was most pleasant and friendly.

Flat course

Lots of leaves on the ground. Sand bunkers were good. Flat course. Nothing special about the course. However, I do recommend visiting Tubac Village nearby after your golf game. A pretty town with lots of galleries and history.

Tubac Review

played Otero to Rancho. Rancho nine in better condition, for 90 dollars expected more. No ball washers, tee blocks faded, just generally "ok" conditions. We played San Ignacio in GV the day before, much superior conditions.

I like Tubac and the atmosphere but at 90 dollars its not a good value. Otero 9 overseeding was poor and greens just so so

Great course

Although I found it a little pricey it was a pleasant experience and the course was in very good condition. I golfed it about 12 years ago and was amazed at the improvement.

Golfing at the Tubac Golf Resort

Very enjoyable course to play. Beautiful scenery, some holes very difficult, which adds to the challenge.

The lounge and restaurant are excellent. Staff and service were first class. But the decor and furnishings make the place for an after round drink or a dinner with friends an absolute must.

Will play this course over and over again.

Great staff in the well stocked Pro Shop.

Tremendous driving range, practice bunkers, chipping green and putting greens are second to none.

Don’t miss the opportunity to play here!
