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.

Nice Course

Fun to play. Front 9 waited every shot. Back 9 played in 1 hour and 45 min.. Had to beg to play Rancho and we didn't understand why since we did not see another person on the course.

Not as advertised

The hole that Kevin Costner took the 10 did not happen on this course but there is a sign that states that it did. Also where is the Pelican?

Fun golf

Tubac is well worth the 45 minute drive down from tucson. Golf course is beautiful and well maintained. All the people there were super friendly and helpful. Plus it has the Tin Cup thing going for it with several plaques telling the story. Lunch at the restaurant next door was great.

The course was in good condition except for the abundance of leaves. I was lucky but my playing partner lost three balls and spent many minutes looking for his ball and I know he was very frustrated.

Great course

The course was in great condition. The starters were wonderful and friendly. That being said the front desk needs some customer intervention as being welcoming and friendly. I hope someone from management reads this because it's important that the customer feels welcome weather he or she is a member. A smile and recognition that you're there is extremely important to any business big or small. Remember you never know who you are talking to just because you're not dressed in the latest fashion.
