Great Saturday morning round

Teed off at 7am on a Saturday and had a great round. Truly one of the best courses in Southern Arizona. Course is well maintained and the layout is fun and challenging. Also nice to play the Tin Cup hole. We’ll be back soon.

Over hyped course

Got a good deal on Golfnow but wasn't worth the hour and 15 min drive. Lost a few balls in the middle of the fairway where grass was over grown. Greens were ok very soft. but the fairways need work. I was expecting a resort course to be in better shape.

Vanishing act

Good course, fairways and rough were shaggy. Lost a few balls due to shaggy grass, “Tubac triangle” and some dudes that picked up our balls. Members are always snotty and don’t move very fast. Other than that, had a great time.

Tubac - Tin Cup Course

The course was in okay shape but the Monsoon weather in Arizona could have been a factor. The fairways needed to be mowed and the edges of the greens had some mechanical damage on the Othero course. The Greens were very soft and held the ball well and the putting surface was smooth and good speed. Overall a great time.

Great Course

We were allowed to tee off early, unlike other courses in the area. We had the course to ourselves. Overall the course is in great condition.

Rains, and added upkeep

The monsoon is here and the rains are greening up the courses. This is good overall, but adds to the need for mowing and detailed trimming. We lost balls in deep grass near greens and plugging.

The greens, though slower than usual, were extremely smooth and held (many shots backing up). There were a few “trouble” spots, but overall good. Overwatering was present in a few areas, as the rains make this difficult to control.

Pace of play was excellent with no waiting. Drink cart was there regularly. Club attendants although friendly seemed a bit disorganized and didn’t overwhelm us with physical service.

We played Rancho (Tin Cup 9) which is the most heavily treed. Anza 9 more open but was interesting as well. The resort is much different from the desert courses to the north and offers a great yesteryear atmosphere and history.

Overall the course is in pretty good shape and deserves play, and always cooler than Tucson due to much higher elevation as one moves towards old Mexico. Only an extra 15 minutes from Green Valley, check it out.

Play this course!

Second time here, this time brought the crew down from Tucson. Course conditions were pretty spectacular considering time of year. Staff was A+. I love the greens here, make you look like a pro! Shot my best round ever, so this place immediately vaults into my favorite. Make the trek down to Tubac and golf it up!

Tough little course, the fairways and greens were very nice, it would be nice to have water available on the course, my only beef!

Beautiful course, but lacking some amenities

I've been wanting to play Tubac for many years now, but the cost always seemed prohibitive until I found a great deal on TeeOff. The Good: great layout, greens and fairways were in great shape for mid-summer season, and excellent pace of play (finished in 3-1/2 hours). There were some renovations going on with some cart paths, but was easy to get around. The not-so-good: course needs more yardage indicators, only had the black and white poles at 150 yards, no markers in the fairway or cart path, so it was hard to judge distances; no water was provided at all anywhere on the course and it was +100 degrees, not even a beverage cart, and some areas of the course were overwatered and muddy in fairways. Overall great experience and hope to be back. Hoping the course can upgrade some of the amenities for a better playing experience.
