No Rancho nine....

Haven’t been able to play my favorite nine (Rancho, tin cup) in years (always some reason it’s closed), but other nines were good, sand, tees, fairways in nice shape. Greens punched and sanded, a bit slow, a bit erratic (roll-wise), but held nicely.

Beautiful trees and water that comes into play occasionally. Nice off course amenities.

They were doing a lot of work to the courses in preparation of summer. A nice change from Tucson golf, which, unless you pay dearly, is hard, dry, and very hot.

Tubac will lol be even better if/when we get summer monsoon rains....check it out if you can, only an hour from Tucson.

Course in Maintenance Mode

Played Anza/Ranch and the Anza course greens had just finished being punched and sanded. It made putting more of a challenge. Overall the Anza nine was in good shape. Rancho course had not started greens aeration, and were normal although they seemed slower than they looked. Tees and fairways were in good shape, but work crews were working to cut back tree growth which impacted some tee shots. Overall it was a good day.

Staff very unfriendly this time

We come to this course at least once a year as we live out of state, and this was our first bad experience with the staff. They were unfriendly and end up pushing us at the ninth hole when we were right at hour in half at the ninth hole. After completing the back 9 bringing the cart back, we were not greeted at the end of our golf game nor we were assisted with our clubs.. Very disappointed at the service this time along with this being our sons’s first time here and we bragged about how great you are treated here.. The course was beautiful as always hoping our next visit the service will be a better experience..

The pace of play was really good we played in 3 1/2 hours. The course was super wet and soggy lot of balls plugging in the fairways. Glad we played it with the “Tin Cup” movie association attached to it.

The Greens were just Ok.

Well maintained wilderness course

The fairways and greens were in great shape. Lots of shade from mature trees. This course is fun, scenic and challenging especially from the tips.

I love Tubac

There is something about the understated ambiance and simplicity here that I love. It's the beginning of the "off season" here so no crowds, very chill atmosphere. The course was in good shape. I love playing here.

Great Course BUT Beware

Very friendly staff greats you, great practice facilities, three separate 9 holes to play BUT watch out for the occasional cow pie (not a big deal) but get behind a slow group and no Marshall’s to speed play up. We were looking at a 5 plus hour round when we quit with three holes to go. An easy fix if the course wants to make the fix. We will play it again!!
