A Challenging course for the Intermediate Golfer

This is a beautiful course set amongst old mesquite and cottonwood trees. The fairways and greens were in top shape. We played the Rancho and Otero courses (each has 9 holes for a total of 18). Each course has challenging holes that keep even the most seasoned golfers working for par. The newer holes are tough, with the older parts of the courses more forgiving. There truly is a "Tubac Triangle" that makes bogey golf a triumph. I would golf there every week if I could. The resort is stunning too.

Flew around it!

Went out after noon and finished in 3 hours. Never saw anyone in front of us. Little short but very fun track. Greens were rolling quick and in good shape. Stay there and play. That’s what we did. Very nice resort and food is well above average. We’ll be back.

Always fun golf

Our favorite course in the area. Staff on the course are great, easy to talk to and accommodating. Sorry to say, pro shop personnel are indifferent and very short. Yes, no answers and not engaging. Alot of merchandise, might have purchased more but got the impression we were intruding. No one else in the shop.

Good Day at a good course

My wife and I really enjoyed our round at Tubac Otero/Rancho. We were paired with a member and his son-in-law, very nice to have local knowledge as we made it around. Great weather, some interesting holes and some fairly tight fairways. And it was an added Cool factor knowing this was the Tin Cup course.

Nice Course

Fun to play. Front 9 waited every shot. Back 9 played in 1 hour and 45 min.. Had to beg to play Rancho and we didn't understand why since we did not see another person on the course.

Not as advertised

The hole that Kevin Costner took the 10 did not happen on this course but there is a sign that states that it did. Also where is the Pelican?

Fun golf

Tubac is well worth the 45 minute drive down from tucson. Golf course is beautiful and well maintained. All the people there were super friendly and helpful. Plus it has the Tin Cup thing going for it with several plaques telling the story. Lunch at the restaurant next door was great.
