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.

Poor course conditions

It's is sad to see the excellent course is such poor physical conditions. Looks like a lack of water and maintenance is the cause. On parts of some fairways there is no grass. Tee boxes are in very average shape. Greens are rock hard. The course condition is no better than a average public course. Sad.

Cost

This is a resort golf course. So, it is pricey. I only play it when Golf Now has a good deal. Sad, because it is so close to my home.

Greens in perfect condition.

We played Otero/Rancho. Both nines were in great shape, particularly the greens, which rolled fast and perfectly.

Admin check in process was indignant and claimed the course doesn’t make any money when you book through golf now

Won’t play again based on admin staff, course condition, pace of play and value.

Staff at check-in was not friendly or accomodatimg

Staff at check-in made me feel like I owed them something because I booked through golf now. Pace of play was terrible as no ranger existed and the 4 some in front of us was actually 2 players and one player getting a lesson. . We waited on 6 of 9 holes on the front and every hole on the back. Rather play the haven than this place ever again!

Also no water on corse and no ball washers. Used to be a favorite but no more

Goff, Deer and Cow

Great course, famous for Tin Cup being filmed here. The Rancho 9 is especially lovely, along the Santa Cruz river, Deer in the woods on #7, Cattle grazing along the left side of the fairway on #9. Played with my brother-in-law, I'm visiting from PA, he and his wife from CA.

First class service, outstanding experience

A dry winter in the valley has left its mark on the course. But, the staff has made the best of it and the greens were in remarkable condition for this time of the season. The history of the ranch lives up to the popularity it has earned. Hard to believe that it’s 25 years since the movie. This experience is worthy of sharing and repeat.
