Poor course conditions

It's is sad to see the excellent course is such poor physical conditions. Looks like a lack of water and maintenance is the cause. On parts of some fairways there is no grass. Tee boxes are in very average shape. Greens are rock hard. The course condition is no better than a average public course. Sad.

Cost

This is a resort golf course. So, it is pricey. I only play it when Golf Now has a good deal. Sad, because it is so close to my home.

Greens in perfect condition.

We played Otero/Rancho. Both nines were in great shape, particularly the greens, which rolled fast and perfectly.

Admin check in process was indignant and claimed the course doesn’t make any money when you book through golf now

Won’t play again based on admin staff, course condition, pace of play and value.

Staff at check-in was not friendly or accomodatimg

Staff at check-in made me feel like I owed them something because I booked through golf now. Pace of play was terrible as no ranger existed and the 4 some in front of us was actually 2 players and one player getting a lesson. . We waited on 6 of 9 holes on the front and every hole on the back. Rather play the haven than this place ever again!

Also no water on corse and no ball washers. Used to be a favorite but no more

Goff, Deer and Cow

Great course, famous for Tin Cup being filmed here. The Rancho 9 is especially lovely, along the Santa Cruz river, Deer in the woods on #7, Cattle grazing along the left side of the fairway on #9. Played with my brother-in-law, I'm visiting from PA, he and his wife from CA.

First class service, outstanding experience

A dry winter in the valley has left its mark on the course. But, the staff has made the best of it and the greens were in remarkable condition for this time of the season. The history of the ranch lives up to the popularity it has earned. Hard to believe that it’s 25 years since the movie. This experience is worthy of sharing and repeat.

Tubac Golf Course

The course was in excellent condition. One of the best courses I’ve played this winter when it comes to good grass! Most of the courses in Tucson area have sparse and thin grass. The fairways were excellent! Greens were in very good condition,
