Type Resort
Par 71
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.

Resort Course

Played Anza nine and then Rancho nine. The Anza nine was in good shape with tee boxes and fairways in good shape. Greens were firm and rolling well. The Rancho nine was not in the best of shape for tees and fairways. Possibly awaiting aeration and over seeding to begin, but hopefully something. Greens were in good shape.

Green and beautiful

We played the Rancho & Otero courses. For the most part the fairways were good. But some spots with no grass. Greens were really nice. Absolutely beautiful area. Tons of shade Nd temperature wasn’t too bad. Very nice staff on the course and in the bar.

The course is in fantastic shape. Fairways are lush and well maintained. Greens were forgiving if a bit slower than I am used to, but putts ran true.

Wow!

We played Anzo/Ranchero. The course was in fantastic condition, considering the time of year! While it is a difficult course for our level of play, it was extremely forgiving, and a fun day.

First Time Playing

We were both disappointed. The greens were in good shape, but the grass on the fairways and ladies tee boxes were dried up, felt like we were playing in a pasture. We were expecting more. Not near the condition of courses in Green Valley. At least the price was cheap. Nice views, good food at restaurant. Worth playing once, but maybe in the winter.

Beautiful!

Great golf course! Beautiful. They handled the business very well - there was a tournament going on, but we were able to start according to our tee time. That's why the rating for the "time of play" - took about 5 hours. Course was in great shape.!

Otero/Anza best combo of nines

Played this course several times over the years but had never gotten to play the Otero 9. What a hidden gem. They should pair this 9 up with Anza more often. Can skip Rancho 9 any day. Greens in great shape: rolled well. Fairways and roughs in decent shape.

Poor management

The course is great but they keep letting these big groups(maybe members) out and they all are obnoxious. Loud music, sometimes 5somes and poor etiquette. They drive up almost on the greens, hit their drives before the fairway is clear and drive up on you when you are hitting your shot. Even after the proshop was made aware of it they still did nothing! Those groups must really pay well! It could be amazing but the people running the course do not understand what real customer service is! Its a shame. Ive had problems the last 4 times out!

Great weather and playing conditions

No wait ... went right on the course. For me, it is the prettiest course I've ever played in Arizona even during mid-day as the tree canopy is quite impressive with incredible views, great fairways, and well-kept greens ... by 6:00 p.m. we were even getting cold as the temps dipped from a high of 96 to around 76 degrees. All of the holes were uniquely and cleverly designed to challenge beginners all the way to scratch golfers ... a very enjoyable experience and "must do"

Great rate and course was in very good shape. They must water a lot because the greens held the ball well and allowed for backspin.
