Slow play

The back nine (Rancho) is exceptionally pretty with mature cottonwoods and few homes. It's clearly the most challenging of the nines we played; while the Otero nine is unremarkable and surrounding by development. The slow pace of play, especially on the Ranch nine, and over 1 hour drive would likely keep me from returning, but glad to have played it at least once.

First trip to Tubac

Excellent place for family outing. We are not great golfers but arrived late in the day so we would not bother anyone. This was great fun for our family of 5. The location is beautiful. The staff and hotel are very friendly and inviting. Definitely worth the trip.

Tubac was excellent, again

I always love playing Tubac. My partner and I had an 8:10am tee time. Chilly at first but it warmed up quickly. We finished our round in 3:24. Great pace! It seemed like we had the course to ourselves. The course was in great shape. The greens were true and fast. Staff in the pro shop, Cantina and the starter were all very friendly. My only complaints (minor) is that it seems the Cantina breakfast shack has had a non-working credit card machine the past 3-4 times I've played here. Prepare to come with cash in case it's not working again. Also, the lunch we had at Stables was good, but it took the cook 2 attempts to get a Reuben sandwich (no cheese, with bacon) and the salad (no blue cheese) correct. They also couldn't (wouldn't) make an omelette for my partner. Come on guys, the place was empty. In a resort that bills itself (rightly) as high-end, making an omelette for a customer shouldn't be a stretch at noon. Overall, a wonderful experience, as always

Great Facility and staffing

Tubac Golf Course is a one stop facility, It has a great cantina for breakfast items and drinks. The restaurant is great and the clubhouse has a great inventory to shop. The staff are great, helpful and service oriented. Really enjoyed the course and seeing cows on the course was quite novel.

Fun course

We played in just over 3 hours. The course was in very good shape especially since it’s the overseed time of year. The pro shop staff were really great as were the outside services guys. It was a very pleasant morning in Tubac.

Tubac CC

Nice shady course unique to Southern Arizona. Very good conditions. Would have been nice if there was notice on their online listing that all practice areas were closed. Would not have had the 8 of us show up an hour early with nothing to do. Slow play and no ranger.

Golf groups were not paced and then became stacked on top of preceding groups leading to uncomfortable situations and waits to tee the next hole.

Fairways still being over watered even after recent significant rains. Mud holes and swamp spots everywhere.

Maybe they are short on employees or money or both but places needed mowing and they haven’t even started on the downed trees and limbs from recent storms. Office staff seemed aloof and reluctant to take care of customers.

This course and club used to be great. Seems like something has changed but not for the better.
