Tubac Golf Resort - Anza/Rancho
About
The Tubac Golf Resort sits along the banks of the Santa Cruz River, providing a lush landscape of mature trees and cottonwood groves. The Anza/Rancho golf course is one of three different 18-hole combinations at the resort, which features 27 holes in total. The Anza's par-3 ninth hole has an island green reminiscent of the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. The Rancho nine's fourth hole is known for being in the Kevin Costner golf movie "Tin Cup." It is also home to what has been nicknamed the "Tubac Triangle," a challenging set of holes that includes the longest par 3, par 4, and par 5 at the resort. The eighth hole is part of this set; at 651 yards it is even longer than some of the par 5s on the PGA Tour.

Great Staff
Our foursome played Tubac for the first time in early February. Most in my group thought the course was nice but significantly overpriced. I liked the huge trees that I haven't seen anywhere else in Arizona. The staff including Kristie was very helpful making our day as good as it could be considering we had cold temps and high winds for the early part of our round. The course conditions were good and the layout was varied and interesting considering the terrain is flat.
Overall I'd recommend Tubac but I wouldn't play it again for full price.
Unfortunately did not play Ranchero which is the most interesting nine.
Still a good course and always in good shape.
Very enjoyable golfing experience.
This golf resort has great practice facilities, friendly staff, and 27 challenging holes. The course is very well maintained and the greens are fast and roll true. There are many sand traps and ponds to challenge the best golfers. A very enjoyable golfing experience.
Tin Cup was like GOLD!
I was lucky to be able to play the Rancho course as my front 9 so I could see the signs from the Costner movie Tin Cup; and, more importantly, play the same holes. From the warm welcome of the pro shop and starter, to the practice areas, to the best pace of play I've enjoyed in the last three months (3.5hrs), the entire afternoon was a memorable experience. Well worth the drive to get there!
Disappointed
Always love coming to Tubac. However the last few times that we have come to play the resort course I have been pretty unhappy with the conditions. There are much prettier courses to play in Green Valley.
Tubac review
As I've come to expect, my round at Tubac was enjoyable. My partner and I played the Otero/Anza 18 combo. 9:40am Sunday tee time. Only took us 3:30. Great pace with only a slow foursome ahead of my twosome on the last 4 holes. The course was mostly in great shape, with a few of the greens having some trouble with disease maybe? The staff is always friendly. The Cantina for a pre-round breakfast sandwich is always a good call
Cool place
This was intetesting to play... not great but a cool ranc like feel is it worth the time and money. Not sure.. the restaurant was great after... service not over thr top but fine.
The course is interesting.
Course has some good holes, but the greens need work.
Christmas 2021 thru New Years weekend
We played 5 rounds on our Christmas holidays in 2021. The course is well kept, the pace of play is good and the vistas are beautiful....Really a golfers paradise with food drink and lodging adjoining the course... Also, only a short distance to Tubac village where there are many shops and restaurants.
