Do Not Waste Your Time and Money

Very underwhelming; no better than the Tucson Muni courses at twice the price. Golf etiquette is non existent her: members drive thru your shots and the Golf pro is has no concept regarding on course etiquette. Went to pro shop to voice displeasure with pro's behavior and received exactly what I expected; nobody cared, my story was challenged by the attendant. The members can have this course.

Tubac golf experience

Overall the experience was ok but not great.

For the amount they charge they don't have the best of everything in the area.

Greens are not in very good shape.

Fairways are excellent, teeblocks are excellent, cart paths are excellent, practise facility's excellent

Par 3's are a lot of fun especially going over water

Golf carts are very average & no were to clean balls or clubs which I thought was very weird for a couse like this

For 1st time there; all 4 of us thought we were let down by the golf carts & greens & no ball washers; there is better in Green Valley for a lot less

Tubac is a gem

The Rancho course is really beautiful, quite different from the other two courses. I love the big, gnarly trees.

Only one on the course

I played in February on a 45º day with sun, rain, hail and wind. Though hail covered the green at one time, by the time I arrived at the next green, it was clear. The course remained completely playable and, amazingly, I enjoyed the afternoon breaking bogey.

Awesome Layout

This course is fun to play. Accuracy is the key to scoring.

The range and puttting green are great for warming up.

Staff was very friendly and food is very good. Will play again.

Spectator price? Disappointed

Expecting to pay an afternoon price for one on a round of 18 and also my little girl came with me so I wouldn't be by myself. Come to find to out there is a spectator fee of $25. I don't know, maybe this is normal at higher end courses but none the less I'm going take my daughters to a few courses a little further north where there isn't a spectator fee.

Average track

In fairness, January is probly the dormant growing season so conditions were not great. Fairways were thin with lots of scratchy lies. Greens were good but not great. Bunkers were good with enough good sand in them, but had not been raked by the staff on this day. The design/layout is fairly generic, no spectacular holes. Two 200+ yard par 3’s present stiff challenges, but overall course design is average. Shop and support staff are professional and friendly.

Pretty course some challenging holes. Rate of play was a little slow but overall ok. Was a fun course to play and the town was interesting. Overall worth a day spent in Tubac.
