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.

Relaxing round!

We had a wonderful round. The greens were exceptional, the staff was accommodating and the overall the day was relaxing as we enjoyed each hole meandering through the course and gorgeous trees. It made for a completely relaxing day!

Rancho/Anza Nines Challenge

These two nine hole layouts are great. However the course seemed very wet and slow, possibly due to the monsoon rains. There was little roll out off the tee and mud on the ball. Fairways also showed some "brown out" areas which may be a result of fungus. Certain tee boxes needed attention and with aeration coming, maybe improvement will be seen. Greens were very soft and holding. Greens looked faster than they actually were which created some frustration on longer putts. Overall playing Tubac Golf Resort is a great experience especially the Rancho nine. And hats off to Tin Cup hole #4 on Rancho!

Great course, great people, thoroughly enjoyed the course. Tee boxes were a little rough, other than that course in excellent shape, greens were in excellent condition. Would highly recommend playing here.

Tubac in July

Course was disappointing, tee boxes and fairways were spotty at best. Sand traps had not been raked and were crusty.

However, greens were in good condition.

If this was the first time I had played there I would hesitate to return.

A disappointment for a usually great course

Have played this course probably 30-40 times over the past ten years, and have considered it one of my favorites. A big disappointment this time. Many bare spots in the fairways, some tee boxes not mowed and some of the greens with bare spots. It's been about a year since I last played, and could not believe the difference. True we are in the summer Monsoon season, but so are the other local courses, and they are not in this bad of shape. I hope it turns around because the course is usually beautiful.
