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.

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.

Greens in perfect condition.

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

Admin check in process was indignant and claimed the course doesn’t make any money when you book through golf now

Won’t play again based on admin staff, course condition, pace of play and value.

Staff at check-in was not friendly or accomodatimg

Staff at check-in made me feel like I owed them something because I booked through golf now. Pace of play was terrible as no ranger existed and the 4 some in front of us was actually 2 players and one player getting a lesson. . We waited on 6 of 9 holes on the front and every hole on the back. Rather play the haven than this place ever again!

Also no water on corse and no ball washers. Used to be a favorite but no more
