Still fun to play but it’s seen better days.

I’ve played Tubac many times. Played Otero and Rancho 9’s. Otero and Rancho were in good shape but I’ve seen it in better shape. Greens were good but some showed signs of wear and tear. For the price, the value wasn’t great but it was still fun to play. Tubac is also cooler than green valley or Tucson . We teed off at 1:10 pm and the heat was not an issue and finished in 3.5 hours.

Amazing Staff

Aside from the very long Par 5 on Rancho, I love this course. Even as the winter rye is making way for the summer grass, the course is well maintained and the greens are very sticky for being in an arid climate.

The Otero 9 plays quite a bit faster than the Ranch 9.
