Poor signage

This course is over rated. They desperately need GPS… and who wants a steer on the fairway?

BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY IN TUBAC

Second time playing here. Played the Rancho and Otero courses. Rancho was beautiful, Otero more in the neighborhood and houses but still nice.

Course is in excellent shape. Fairways and Greens very well maintained. My buddies and I will stay at the resort next time and play two days. Worth the drive from Tucson; the scenery and serenity is worth it for us.

Beautiful

Tee boxes were good, fairways were great, greens rolled true, watch out for pin placement, they can be tricky at times, if you know the course you know where to land them on the greens. If you play the rancho 9, don't play the tips for a decent handicap. Holes 6, 7, and 8 are super long with a 270 yard par 3. Not realistic. Other than that, awesome course. 3.6 handicap.

Not worth the money

The only claim of fame is the fact that a movie used a few holes. Not worth going, there are many more and better courses around. I would value the round for half of what I paid, which was supposed to be a "hot deal". Will not come back.

Pricey

Very pricey for the course. Getting the money because of the movie. Even store items were out of line for the same reason. $90.00 for a sweatshirt that is worth $25.00.

Lacking Good Flow

Played with two out-of-the-area friends. Our first time there. Kind of excited to play where some scene from Tin Cup were played. We played the Rancho and Otero nine-hole courses. Rancho has the Tin Cup holes. Course is flat and meanders haphazardly through homes and trees. Greens aren’t framed very well at all and a tree can actually be directly in front of a green you’re going for. Very hard to discern where you’re supposed to hit. They put a five-some out right in front of us which didn’t make us happy. The resort itself appeared very upscale although we did not stay there. Restaurant and bar looked nice. Friendly staff.!

First timer

Overall GREAT experience. There are some thin spots on the greens. Fairways overall in good shape.

Lots of nostalgia in playing the "Tin Cup" course.

A challenging but rewarding course. I really enjoyed the round.

great course, would have liked to known which 9s we were getting before hand

Always enjoy the trip down to tubac. great resort. course was in good condition. it was windy but so was the entire state that day.

One complaint was I had friends in town wanting to play the tin cup holes. Didnt know which 9s we were getting when we got the reservation. Partially my fault for not calling and confirming but would have been nice when signing up to see which courses we were playing.
