Par 71
Length 6435 yards
Slope 125
Rating 69.5

Tubac Golf Resort is home to 27 holes of golf that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The resort is most famously known for providing the set for the golf movie "Tin Cup." It was most likely chosen for its lush landscape of mature trees and cottonwood groves along with its dry, temperate climate. The Otero/Anza combination features some tricky water hazards. The par-3 ninth hole on the Anza nine has an island green similar to the notorious 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. The ninth hole on the Otero nine features an expansive lake that runs alongside the left side of the green. In addition to the three golf courses, Tubac Golf Resort also features an extensive practice facility with a driving range, putting green, and practice bunker.

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,

Super Unique Course

Really enjoyed my round here today. Conditions are 8/10. Layout is 9/10. Amenities are 9/10. Great overall experience. The course is very unique and diverse. Every hole presents a new challenge. The property is absolutely stunning. Will be back to play.

As good as it gets.

Tee boxes are level, fairways are lush and the greens are fast. Fringe was a little long and your might get a bounce to green if shot is short but probably not. Driver friendly course. We are mid to high handicap golfers but I only lost 1 ball. We played Otero/Rancho Blue/white combo tees.

Fun day

first time playing Tubac. Drove from Tucson. Frost delay of 30 minutes and it was a chilly morning. After getting started we moved quickly. The aprons around the greens are a little rough but it is winter. The fairways were in good condition and the greens were unbelievably fast. Interesting layout with plenty of tress, bunkers and water. It doesn’t feel like a desert course, it feels more lush. Overall a very fun day of golf. I would definitely recommend.

Easily a Favorite!

It had been 2 years since I was able to play Tubac while I was in town. Always happy to visit and play it. Truly a great course with fair challenges throughout. Staff always friendly as usual.
I try to hit Tubac every time I'm in the area and am sad when I can't get on.

Interesting layout

We enjoyed our round but found the lack of neither a ball washer on the cart or on the tees to be most annoying, especially with ample watering and occasional muddy conditions. Also it would be helpful to first-time guests to have better signage when completing the 9th hole on the Otero course and trying to find the first tee on the Rancho course. On the positive side, the starters and cart assistants were most helpful and friendly.

Very slow pace of play/greens

The pace of play on the 14th was very very slow with people that did not seem to care and no Marshall. The greens would not hold any pitch or chip shots only full shots into the green and very fast. I like the fast greens but they just did not play like traditional greens And you were left with a lot of 20 footers.

Tubac Resort Golf

For a resort course, this course has taken a tangible turn for the worse over the last couple of years. Not sure what is behind this erosion but it is evident and seems to be common opinion locally. Folk will try to blame the weather - lack of precipitation - however surrounding courses seem to have found a resolve - not Tubac.

Only complaint was several of the tee boxes were not in good shape & had green paint applied to cover up the lack of natural grass.
