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.

Not worth the money!

The course has a very snobbish attitude. The starter was not helpful. The bathrooms weren't working so the sign in the bathroom told you to use The 5 gallon bucket of water to flush your waste. Never had that experience before. Then the cart stops working on #6. I call the clubhouse and they know about their cart problems - we are told just yo smash the bottom to make it work. If that's not interesting enough, there are hoof prints in the fringe and green and cow pies in the he fairway. What a dump! STAY AWAY unless you are a member. Oops, forgot, my they even set us away from others when serving us lunch.

Great Staff

Our foursome played Tubac for the first time in early February. Most in my group thought the course was nice but significantly overpriced. I liked the huge trees that I haven't seen anywhere else in Arizona. The staff including Kristie was very helpful making our day as good as it could be considering we had cold temps and high winds for the early part of our round. The course conditions were good and the layout was varied and interesting considering the terrain is flat.

Overall I'd recommend Tubac but I wouldn't play it again for full price.

Still a good course and always in good shape.

Very enjoyable golfing experience.

This golf resort has great practice facilities, friendly staff, and 27 challenging holes. The course is very well maintained and the greens are fast and roll true. There are many sand traps and ponds to challenge the best golfers. A very enjoyable golfing experience.

Tin Cup was like GOLD!

I was lucky to be able to play the Rancho course as my front 9 so I could see the signs from the Costner movie Tin Cup; and, more importantly, play the same holes. From the warm welcome of the pro shop and starter, to the practice areas, to the best pace of play I've enjoyed in the last three months (3.5hrs), the entire afternoon was a memorable experience. Well worth the drive to get there!

Disappointed

Always love coming to Tubac. However the last few times that we have come to play the resort course I have been pretty unhappy with the conditions. There are much prettier courses to play in Green Valley.

Tubac review

As I've come to expect, my round at Tubac was enjoyable. My partner and I played the Otero/Anza 18 combo. 9:40am Sunday tee time. Only took us 3:30. Great pace with only a slow foursome ahead of my twosome on the last 4 holes. The course was mostly in great shape, with a few of the greens having some trouble with disease maybe? The staff is always friendly. The Cantina for a pre-round breakfast sandwich is always a good call

Christmas 2021 thru New Years weekend

We played 5 rounds on our Christmas holidays in 2021. The course is well kept, the pace of play is good and the vistas are beautiful....Really a golfers paradise with food drink and lodging adjoining the course... Also, only a short distance to Tubac village where there are many shops and restaurants.
