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.

Staff very unfriendly this time
We come to this course at least once a year as we live out of state, and this was our first bad experience with the staff. They were unfriendly and end up pushing us at the ninth hole when we were right at hour in half at the ninth hole. After completing the back 9 bringing the cart back, we were not greeted at the end of our golf game nor we were assisted with our clubs.. Very disappointed at the service this time along with this being our sons’s first time here and we bragged about how great you are treated here.. The course was beautiful as always hoping our next visit the service will be a better experience..
The pace of play was really good we played in 3 1/2 hours. The course was super wet and soggy lot of balls plugging in the fairways. Glad we played it with the “Tin Cup” movie association attached to it.
The Greens were just Ok.
Excellent golf course!
Beautiful and tough are the three nines at Tubac. Come on down and try it!
Well maintained wilderness course
The fairways and greens were in great shape. Lots of shade from mature trees. This course is fun, scenic and challenging especially from the tips.
I love Tubac
There is something about the understated ambiance and simplicity here that I love. It's the beginning of the "off season" here so no crowds, very chill atmosphere. The course was in good shape. I love playing here.
Excellent golf outstanding beauty
Very nice day. Tee boxes fairly placed for all levels of golfers both men and women's. Course in very good condition and pace of play excellent. Natural beauty and humbling vistas will be memorable. All in all a return is definitely on the schedule.
Great Course BUT Beware
Very friendly staff greats you, great practice facilities, three separate 9 holes to play BUT watch out for the occasional cow pie (not a big deal) but get behind a slow group and no Marshall’s to speed play up. We were looking at a 5 plus hour round when we quit with three holes to go. An easy fix if the course wants to make the fix. We will play it again!!
Course ok
Course was fine but were paired with a couple that played very slow so round enjoyment was diminished.
Another great day at Tubac
We played today at Tubac Golf Resort and had a very fun round, despite the wind. The layout is challenging in good weather, but the 20 mph winds with gusts even higher made it especially tough. The course is in very good shape, with good fairways, smooth and slick greens, and actual sand in the bunkers. I recommend it highly for golfers who enjoy a challenge.
