A Tin Cup Classic

Really in great shape for the heat of the summer in southern AZ. tees off at 9:20 and was back in the Catalina Foothills by 2. Fairways were tight and good, most teeing grounds were in good shape, AND made it on in 2 from the Tin Cup “try it” spot! Friendly staff, really spectacular value.

Hidden Gem in Southern AZ

This is one of the most beautiful courses you will play anywhere in Arizona. But since it is 45 minutes south of Tucson not a lot of people outside of Tucson and southern Arizona know about it. Besides the beauty of the course and its surroundings, the course itself was in great shape. Fairways and greens were near perfect and the pace of play for our 4some was right at 4 hours. If you are visiting Tucson, or live in Tucson, it is well worth the drive down to Tubac for this course. Then go a just two miles further after for margaritas and food at Elvira's in the actual village of Tubac.

Rancho 9 Great Track

Played as a 4some today. Weather was great. Rancho (Tin Cup) design a great layout. Unique holes. Wouldn't make the drive from Tucson to play the other two 9's. They are mediocre. Disappointed in the condition of the fairways. Grass spotty and inconsistent. Greens putted true but a bit slow.

Course also seemed lax on Covid-19 safety. Though they permitted 1 person carts, there was a ball/club washer on the carts as well as divot sand bottles. With Covid-19 raging I would expect them to take greater precautions.

Just Fun

Went to Tubac for a change of venue during the Covid19 mess. Warm welcome, good pace of play, not terribly difficult or tricky and on a really hot day, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Had a great time

We booked this trip to Tubac knowing it was still under some covid restrictions. That being said we had a great time. The pro shop staff was friendly and kind. And very helpful. The course was in pretty good shape. The fairways were in good shape and well maintained. The greens could have used a little work and ball marks needed repair. The bunkers were not too bad but a little hard. The frustrating thing was the tee boxes were not marked. We had to count at every bow to find the white tees. I don’t understand why they didn’t have markers labeling the boxes. That’s not a covid restriction. It really that was our only complaint. The food at the cantina was amazing. I had the Torta and my husband had the burrito. Both were excellent and the fries were crispy and tasty. A couple of days at this resort has been a wonderful get away. Can’t wait to come back when everything is opened.

Disappointed expectation

Always wanted to play the course where “Tin Cup” was filmed. I expected a much better maintained course. Although the greens were in good shape, the fairways were in need of mowing and in bad shape with inconsistent grasses on every hole. It was very hard to figure out where to tee off on every hole as there were no tee markers set on any hole. We had to get out of the carts and look for the cement yardage markers on every hole. This made for a frustrating day as I have never played a course without tee markers. Truly this course reminded me of a cow pasture with bent greens that have a lot of Po Anna on them. Course has been mostly neglected and needs a lot of work to get back in playing shape. Disappointing experience. Sorry Tubac, hope you can recover.

As Akways

The course was in great shape for the time of year. Staff was awesome. Appreciated them letting spouses ride together during the whole social distancing thing. Common sense. Always a treat to golf here and stay.
