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
Too hot for golf today!
Temp today is 108, so okay that course was dry and hard. All things considered for southern AZ, it's normal. No drinkable water on course, but staff provides it before, mid-point, and after. Course reminds me alot like Eastern courses. Almost every hole is just straight. A little boring vs most courses out here. But still enjoyed the course and had a nice day.
Great course
Tubac has 3 nines, and all are beautiful and moderately challenging without being punitive. The fairways were a tad dry, but that's to be expected in Arizona in the summer. Added attractions are the occasional horse or cow grazing in the rough. This is the course where they filmed "Tin Cup." It's one of my favorites.
Great Course, finally played Otero since 2008
Course always great but exceptional because we got to play Otero. Staff is great,then had lunch n drinks at Stables. Carney Asada tacos are to die for
Needs work
Course as a whole in not good shape. Greens need a lot of work. The worse I've seen it in a long time.
Tubac Golf Resort was in transition from winter grass to summer grass. Greens were punched with lots of sand making putting an impossible. I think they should have closed the course for a week until it was playable. They have 3 -9 holes courses to choose from. My foursome wasn’t impressed with the condition of the course, might play later but not anytime soon.
This is a very nice course
It was a great day, specially because I made a hole in one by Otero hole 3 , 170 yds iron 8
Tubac
Ranchero nine holes just re-opened from aeration. Still sandy on the greens. Back nine Otero mowed very close perhaps getting for aeration. Play was good because not many on the course. Price was so-so considering the conditions.
This is the course where Roy lost a bet and lost his car in the Movie Tin Cup. The Rancho 9, which was where some of the movie was filmed, was closed when I played. It is a challenging layout from the back tees. 8 and 9 on the Otero 9 are two difficult holes. The resort is very nice - lots of amenities.
Love this course
I have played this course several times. It is one of my favorites.
Love all the trees
Always enjoy this course and the people. Dining after is also a treat.
Great course! I played it many times and am always impressed by the layout and staff.
Disappointing
Extremely disappointed in condition of the golf course. Approximately 1/2 of the white tee boxes were so hard you almost needed a hammer to place your tee into the soil.
The majority of the sand traps were not properly groomed before play that day.
The vast majority of the greens were not in great condition and the balls rolled erratically. One a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being the best, they rated maybe a 4 in our group's opinion.
If we had been paying full fee that day, I would have come in after 5 or 6 holes and asked for my money back given the fee for the course that day.
I have played this course for over the past 25 years off and on. Very surprised and disappointed.
Good Value for Money
Great staff and course conditions. Just a beautiful layout and a joy to play and enjoy the wonderful river basin trees etc.
Tubac Golf Resort
Absolute great place to play. Three different nine holes you have an opportunity to play. If you play Ranchero it has the famous tin cup hole that was filmed in the 90s With Kevin Costner.
Anza Course..first 5 holes are not enjoyable and there was little fairway grass
Anza holes 1-5 are not enjoyable. Very little fairway grass. I personally would refuse the Anza course next time. Handicap were 29 and 13. Just not a good design.
