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.

Fun Course

It was a nice day to play, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I were joined by a fun couple, and we had a lot of fun. It was also fun to see holes featured in Tin Cup, and we even watched the movie again that evening.

Fun course

I like the layout of this course and the history. Staff is friendly and amenities are very clean. My only complaint would be the charge for spectator. Is very high. I have to remember to just pay for an extra player which is about the same price for spectator.

Course conditions improved

Tubac Golf course has suffered a bit over the last few months due to a severe water shortage. Recent rains have certainly helped and the greens are now in good shape and fairways are seeing more grass. Reseeding of Anza is still underway but should be ready soon and then I believe they will close Otero for similar maintenance. Traps are in need good sand, but still it is a great layout.

Terrible conditions

Been coming out to Tubac since 1987. I live in Phoenix. This was the absolute worst condition I have ever seen the course in. Don’t tell me it’s the winter grass transition period. Way too many ares not only brown but just dirt. No grass at all. Now the brown grass areas and abundant dirt areas are now encroaching the areas of play. The rates continue to go higher and higher to stay at the resort each year and the golf course conditions get worse year after year. So disappointing!!!

Poor course conditions

It's is sad to see the excellent course is such poor physical conditions. Looks like a lack of water and maintenance is the cause. On parts of some fairways there is no grass. Tee boxes are in very average shape. Greens are rock hard. The course condition is no better than a average public course. Sad.

Cost

This is a resort golf course. So, it is pricey. I only play it when Golf Now has a good deal. Sad, because it is so close to my home.

We played Otero/Rancho. Both nines were in great shape, particularly the greens, which rolled fast and perfectly.
