Length 6823 yards
Slope 127
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.

Great cart staff! Enjoyed the people that played in front and in back of me. Pace of play was good as I was playing as a single so could not really rate it. Did get to visit with the groups ahead and behind so actually had a great time.

The Course is in great shape

The greens are in great shape, fast & tough to read. The only issue was the leaves on several holes. Overall a great day of golf.

Great day at Tubac

Spent a fabulous Southern Arizona winter day at Tubac Golf and Resort. Shared a really good breakfast at the Stables Ranch Grille before the round. Course in good shape for a Fall and Winter with no rain. Greens are "challenging". Look forward to my next visit

Tubac is FABULOUS!

We moved to this area in March, and Tubac was one of the first courses we played. We have played there several times since we have been here, and are always happy with our time spent there. Thank you Tubac staff!

Tubac

2nd time playing Tubac. I enjoy this course very much.

The overhanging trees on the cart path in areas is perfect. You don't get that at many courses. Tubac will be one of my regular courses to play. My wife and I just moved the southern Arizona so we've still have many courses to play but I think Tubac will always be in my top 5. There's just something about it that makes it so relaxing and fun to play, enjoy the fast greens, stray from the fairway though and will have your work cut out for you.
