Tubac Golf Resort - Otero/Anza
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Southern AZ Gem
Play here a couple times a year when friends are visiting during winter. Interesting layout with much variety in holes. Condition is OK, but fairways and tee boxes have bare spots. Bunkers are consistent. Greens are fast and accept an iron shot well.
Always a treat
Tubac Course has so much character. The history is worth the trip.
Course in great condition
Course was in excellent condition. Greens were well maintained and cut low making them very fast. Would recommend the course to others.
Disappointed
Rental clubs were very ‘used’, 1-2 needed new grips the rest were pretty beat up and a couple hadn’t been wiped down.
Amenities with cart included 1 cup of water, no coolers on carts, 3 tees, no balls. That may or may not be a typical experience but in my limited experience did not meet my expectations for a highly touted course.
Drove from Tucson to Tubac, AZ drive wasn’t bad but regretted losing the day for the experience wish we had stayed more local.
October Golf in Tubac
Awesome course. Old style, not a whole lot of trouble but plenty long from the tips . Beautiful.
Enjoyable
Always like playing Tubac..Staff is friendly and accommodating. Course is in great condition, atmosphere is soothing. Pace is steady (not too slow or too fast). Perfect day.
Resort Course
Played Anza nine and then Rancho nine. The Anza nine was in good shape with tee boxes and fairways in good shape. Greens were firm and rolling well. The Rancho nine was not in the best of shape for tees and fairways. Possibly awaiting aeration and over seeding to begin, but hopefully something. Greens were in good shape.

Like I said before it had a lot to offer for all golfers. Well with the money.
Bob
It a very good course with a lot of challenging holes for all level.
Green and beautiful
We played the Rancho & Otero courses. For the most part the fairways were good. But some spots with no grass. Greens were really nice. Absolutely beautiful area. Tons of shade Nd temperature wasn’t too bad. Very nice staff on the course and in the bar.
Excellent
The course is in fantastic shape. Fairways are lush and well maintained. Greens were forgiving if a bit slower than I am used to, but putts ran true.
Wow!
We played Anzo/Ranchero. The course was in fantastic condition, considering the time of year! While it is a difficult course for our level of play, it was extremely forgiving, and a fun day.
We were both disappointed. The greens were in good shape, but the grass on the fairways and ladies tee boxes were dried up, felt like we were playing in a pasture. We were expecting more. Not near the condition of courses in Green Valley. At least the price was cheap. Nice views, good food at restaurant. Worth playing once, but maybe in the winter.
Beautiful!
Great golf course! Beautiful. They handled the business very well - there was a tournament going on, but we were able to start according to our tee time. That's why the rating for the "time of play" - took about 5 hours. Course was in great shape.!
Otero/Anza best combo of nines
Played this course several times over the years but had never gotten to play the Otero 9. What a hidden gem. They should pair this 9 up with Anza more often. Can skip Rancho 9 any day. Greens in great shape: rolled well. Fairways and roughs in decent shape.
