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.

Flew around it!

Went out after noon and finished in 3 hours. Never saw anyone in front of us. Little short but very fun track. Greens were rolling quick and in good shape. Stay there and play. That’s what we did. Very nice resort and food is well above average. We’ll be back.

Always fun golf

Our favorite course in the area. Staff on the course are great, easy to talk to and accommodating. Sorry to say, pro shop personnel are indifferent and very short. Yes, no answers and not engaging. Alot of merchandise, might have purchased more but got the impression we were intruding. No one else in the shop.

Good Day at a good course

My wife and I really enjoyed our round at Tubac Otero/Rancho. We were paired with a member and his son-in-law, very nice to have local knowledge as we made it around. Great weather, some interesting holes and some fairly tight fairways. And it was an added Cool factor knowing this was the Tin Cup course.

Nice Course

Fun to play. Front 9 waited every shot. Back 9 played in 1 hour and 45 min.. Had to beg to play Rancho and we didn't understand why since we did not see another person on the course.

The hole that Kevin Costner took the 10 did not happen on this course but there is a sign that states that it did. Also where is the Pelican?

Fun golf

Tubac is well worth the 45 minute drive down from tucson. Golf course is beautiful and well maintained. All the people there were super friendly and helpful. Plus it has the Tin Cup thing going for it with several plaques telling the story. Lunch at the restaurant next door was great.
