Nice course, slightly tricked up in places, but lots of fun. A desert course must have water available in the carts and on the course. No help offered to unload or load clubs. Really need to work with some of the bag staff on friendliness and helpfulness.

No help with loading or unloading clubs. No one put the clubs on carts. Very hot and dry, so for the price there should be water on the carts.

Jdoug

My wife and I love this course. It’s not in great shape and some of the holes are fairly plain but the greens are pretty good and the staff is fantastic. Add in the resort’s ambience and it’s a winner!

Beatiful setting

Course was amazing . In great shape, tee to green.

Played in 3.5 hours. Cool history. Nice little homes on the course.

Resort Course with Fantastic Views

It was a perfect day on a great course. The course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was very good, finishing in under 4 hours. I enjoyed the bonus of seeing wildlife on a few holes with deer enjoying the long grass in the rough.

Tin Cup Experience

Watched the movie Tin Cup the evening prior to playing. We thought no way this could be in the desert community of Tubac. Pace of play was less than 4 hours. We played on a Monday around noon. Course conditions were very good. The greens on the front nine were not very receptive. Greens on the back nine were much better. The final four holes on the Rancho 9 were brutal.

The staff is very nice.

The price is really high to have a person ride with you. My wife likes to go and take pics of wildlife and things. The corse is in great shape as i would expect for the price.
