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.

Rough way too deep

It's a beautiful course and well maintained. Too bad our round was ruined by time spent looking for balls in 2 inch rough if you missed the fairway by a yard or two. Our round took almost 5 hrs as we and the groups in front of us searched in vain for balls that missed the fairway by only a few yards. The rough was so deep that you could not see the ball unless you were directly over it. I'm a 13 handicapper but the course is too tough for me.

Great Resort Course!

The course was in very good condition as we played the Anza/Ranch courses. Tee boxes and fairways were well maintained while greens were very good albeit soft and holding to incoming shots. Greens actually looked faster than they actually were, but rolled well. Only concern noted was Bermuda type rough adjacent to fairways where the rough tended to "hide" ball as balls tended to "sink" down in the rough. You could be standing ten feet from the ball and not see it. This is a great place to enjoy golf and the amenities of the resort.

Not up to Tubac standards

The course is in the worst shape that I have ever seen it in. I was very disappointed. Mulitple green has different speeds. And just patches of dirt everywhere.

Tubac Golf Resort

We always enjoy golfing at Tubac. It is a beautiful course, situated along the Santa Cruz River with views of the Santa Rita, San Cayatano and Tumacacory Mts. The golf course fairways are a little rough, the greens are in good condition. We enjoyed our lunch on the patio afterward. Overall, a very relaxing experience.
