Back Tubac

We've been playing here for about 10 years and enjoy. the variety of holes on the three nines. We pick our tee times carefully and typically can play 18 in about 3 hours which we LOVE. I would add that in terms of conditions, I feel that the courses are in better shape than ever. We are here for a month and have played 5 times and will play at least another 5. Most of all Tubac Golf is Fun. we love it.

Great course. Nice place. Completely different then the typical Arizona golf course. Arrival a bit desorganised. Had to bring the bags to the cart. No marshal to tell us what course we are playing. No course info on particularly of the course. But fun time overall anyway.

Just need a little bit of attention to golfers upon arrival.

Tubac Course a good challenge

I like Tubac but it doesn’t compare to many upscale resort courses. It’s a fair course with some interesting holes, particularly on the Rancho course (Tin Cup hole). The greens are small so therein lies the challenge. Overall very enjoyable.

Tubac Golf Course

The scenery could not be more beautiful!

Fairways are in excellent shape. Greens are very spotty and do not roll true. Really should be redone in a number of cases. Some of the traps are more like gravel pits than bunkers. Trees and areas along the perimeter of a number of holes are in serious need of clean up. A few of the trees are in fact dangerous to be around/under.

If it were not for the scenery, it is not a course worth playing.

Southern Arizona Greens that stick

I play courses all around Tucson. This is one of the few courses where the ball hits the green and doesn't bounce off. I love this course. Wish I could play the "rancho" side all the time. It is where the famous tin cup scenes come from. But Otero and Anza are just as beautiful. The rancho side is much more challenging tho. This course ranks with the best courses in Tucson and you dont have to pay $150+ to get on it. gotta try it.
