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.

Unknown oasis

You may have a different perception of desert after playing here. Mature mesquite trees and cottonwoods lined the course. Horses and cattle made appearances as well. Unique.

Nice course

Course was OK. Was expecting it to be a little more plush. But it is June here Tucson AZ.

Good for the price we paid.

Other area courses are nice... but this is the best! Meticulously maintained fairways and greens make play a pleasure. Definitely coming back soon!

Price High For Course Conditions

Had not played Tubac in awhile. Course conditions were fair at best. Greens not receptive and had many bare or damaged spots. Fairways were O.K. but cut very tight.

Major housing construction all around the course which really takes away from the overall golf experience I remember in the past. We thought the $50 greens fee was too steep based on the fact it is summer in AZ and based on the lack of great course conditioning.

Really unique golf course and lots of fun to play. The low hanging mesquite trees give it a quote on quote ranch type feel. Challenging golf course for intermediate player. Absolutely will play again.
