Excellent Course

Tubac golf course is a excellent course especially during the prime season .. The layout is very good and in most cases the course is in great shape. Very fair course with 4 tees for all ages and player capabilities. My biggest concern with the course is the price. During the prime season in my opinion it prices out the average golfer to play there regular.. Yes it is part of the resort so I am sure during the prime season they are catering to a whole different group of golfers. The facility is very pleasant and the staff always very friendly and helpful.. We have golfed here many times but we pick and choose the best times to do it...

Historic place.

Always have a great round here, remembering the scenes from Tin Cup and the pro golfers included in the cast. I always point out to people where some of the scenes were filmed and they are usually interested in the details. Most end up reseeing the movie to reenact the fun of Tin Cup. Also interesting is the cattle ranch history dating back to the 1800's depicted on the walls of the on site bar

Southern AZ Gem

Play here a couple times a year when friends are visiting during winter. Interesting layout with much variety in holes. Condition is OK, but fairways and tee boxes have bare spots. Bunkers are consistent. Greens are fast and accept an iron shot well.

Course in great condition

Course was in excellent condition. Greens were well maintained and cut low making them very fast. Would recommend the course to others.

Disappointed

Rental clubs were very ‘used’, 1-2 needed new grips the rest were pretty beat up and a couple hadn’t been wiped down.

Amenities with cart included 1 cup of water, no coolers on carts, 3 tees, no balls. That may or may not be a typical experience but in my limited experience did not meet my expectations for a highly touted course.

Drove from Tucson to Tubac, AZ drive wasn’t bad but regretted losing the day for the experience wish we had stayed more local.

Always like playing Tubac..Staff is friendly and accommodating. Course is in great condition, atmosphere is soothing. Pace is steady (not too slow or too fast). Perfect day.

Resort Course

Played Anza nine and then Rancho nine. The Anza nine was in good shape with tee boxes and fairways in good shape. Greens were firm and rolling well. The Rancho nine was not in the best of shape for tees and fairways. Possibly awaiting aeration and over seeding to begin, but hopefully something. Greens were in good shape.

Rain out.

Got to play the first 7 holes then we got rained out. Wondering how Golf Now deals with rain outs?

Green and beautiful

We played the Rancho & Otero courses. For the most part the fairways were good. But some spots with no grass. Greens were really nice. Absolutely beautiful area. Tons of shade Nd temperature wasn’t too bad. Very nice staff on the course and in the bar.

Excellent

The course is in fantastic shape. Fairways are lush and well maintained. Greens were forgiving if a bit slower than I am used to, but putts ran true.

Wow!

We played Anzo/Ranchero. The course was in fantastic condition, considering the time of year! While it is a difficult course for our level of play, it was extremely forgiving, and a fun day.

We were both disappointed. The greens were in good shape, but the grass on the fairways and ladies tee boxes were dried up, felt like we were playing in a pasture. We were expecting more. Not near the condition of courses in Green Valley. At least the price was cheap. Nice views, good food at restaurant. Worth playing once, but maybe in the winter.

Beautiful!

Great golf course! Beautiful. They handled the business very well - there was a tournament going on, but we were able to start according to our tee time. That's why the rating for the "time of play" - took about 5 hours. Course was in great shape.!
