Rating 71.7
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.

mediocre value
typical desert course. Some greens spotty. plenty of bird poop throughout and occasionally cattle poop on course. layout sometimes gimmicky. I live in Santa Fe and am very familiar with desert courses. Not enough contrasts. Good $40 course.

Disappointed
This course is always in pristine condition and I was disappointed with it this year. Not sure what the problem is, but they closed Rancho to let it heal. Maybe lack of good old rain has hurt it. If you pay full price, there are better values around. Sorry for the bad review, but not up to normal expectations.

Fun time
My son and I were joined by a close family friend. We had a great time enjoying the views the wildlife and some great shots. Lots of ducks. Probably here for winter. Liked seeing them around the course but they need a lesson not to poo on the greens. We’ll be back. Can’t wait to try Rancho.
