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.

Odd Layout

Course has 3 9 hole layouts. Which are fairly flat. Although I wouldn’t recommend walking it as several holes are far apart. Especially on Anza. Course has some interesting holes. But think it could be laid out better.. seen to crisscross the course more than should be expected. Then maybe I may not have played the better 18 hole combination.

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.
