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.

Gotta play here

Great course, great people, thoroughly enjoyed the course. Tee boxes were a little rough, other than that course in excellent shape, greens were in excellent condition. Would highly recommend playing here.

Tubac in July

Course was disappointing, tee boxes and fairways were spotty at best. Sand traps had not been raked and were crusty.

However, greens were in good condition.

If this was the first time I had played there I would hesitate to return.

A disappointment for a usually great course

Have played this course probably 30-40 times over the past ten years, and have considered it one of my favorites. A big disappointment this time. Many bare spots in the fairways, some tee boxes not mowed and some of the greens with bare spots. It's been about a year since I last played, and could not believe the difference. True we are in the summer Monsoon season, but so are the other local courses, and they are not in this bad of shape. I hope it turns around because the course is usually beautiful.

Fabulous Day!

I took my 2 daughters from Calgary to play the “Tin Cup” course today. The course was great, the staff was very accommodating and the weather was perfect. Stables Lounge was a wonderful “19th hole” venue! Lots of character. Just a great day.

Tubac, Az

My friend Wally and I had a great time this am, first time Wally has played the course and thought it was an easy course until we played that is!! Recent monsoon activity has the staff scrambling , lots of flooded areas and tree branches down! But they are doing a great job. We met our wives for lunch and the girls shopped while We played. Win, Win! Did I say the price was super low thanks to Golf Now and Tubac. Thanks everyone for our fun round of great gold, Pat and Wally

Too hot for golf today!

Temp today is 108, so okay that course was dry and hard. All things considered for southern AZ, it's normal. No drinkable water on course, but staff provides it before, mid-point, and after. Course reminds me alot like Eastern courses. Almost every hole is just straight. A little boring vs most courses out here. But still enjoyed the course and had a nice day.

Great course

Tubac has 3 nines, and all are beautiful and moderately challenging without being punitive. The fairways were a tad dry, but that's to be expected in Arizona in the summer. Added attractions are the occasional horse or cow grazing in the rough. This is the course where they filmed "Tin Cup." It's one of my favorites.

Tubac Golf Resort was in transition from winter grass to summer grass. Greens were punched with lots of sand making putting an impossible. I think they should have closed the course for a week until it was playable. They have 3 -9 holes courses to choose from. My foursome wasn’t impressed with the condition of the course, might play later but not anytime soon.

Ranchero nine holes just re-opened from aeration. Still sandy on the greens. Back nine Otero mowed very close perhaps getting for aeration. Play was good because not many on the course. Price was so-so considering the conditions.
