Tubac Golf Resort & Spa

The course was in great shape and there are strategically place traps and ponds to make it challenging. It is more expensive than some of the other courses in the area, but I got a good rate via Golf Now.

It was a perfect day on a great course. The course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was very good, finishing in under 4 hours. I enjoyed the bonus of seeing wildlife on a few holes with deer enjoying the long grass in the rough.

This course was a excellent layout with friendly staff. Fairways and greens were a little rugged for a course of this caliber. Probably due to the heavy play in this Tubac resort community. Pace of play was excellent even after a short frost delay. I would definitely play again on my next visit to this southern Arizona area.

The layout is a confusing maze of three 9 hole courses that was fun to play. Both myself and the pair I was grouped with booked online, but the starter said we were not on his sheet. They pushed my tee time almost an hour because of their issue. They need to figure out their booking system. Best grilled cheese I've ever had at a golf course.

This is one of my favorite courses in southern Arizona, but the service leaves much to be desired. The pro shop, reservations people and starters never seem to be on the same page. When I book a time, the starter often doesn’t have my name. There has also been multiple times when they’ve been rude with me for no apparent reason. Once, they even scolded me for showing up late even though I was 45 minutes early. Even if I WAS late that isn’t acceptable. They need to do better.

Greens were very receptive to shots, but a bit grainy due having been recently sanded.

Arrived 45 min early as we have not played since Covid started and upon arrival to Pro Shop we heard a senior employee ranting loudly about one of his students. That she was just awful or something. I was not immediately recognized as a customer as this chap kept the rants up with his beak in a computer screen. Finally got checked in and got out to our cart and was given our balls for the range. First impression was that the starters did not have the schedule under control as they used to as in past years. Much apparent confusion, i.e.some folks would just drive away ahead of their tee time. We finally got going without our other twosome who left with a member 10 min ahead of us. Assigned Rancho and Otero and this took us 2 1/2 hours so we only completed two holes on Otero then just left the course.
To keep this as short as I can: The Starters are not in control, especially with the members, as they used to be. The members are jumping all over the course. The bathroom just off the #5 green was plugged up, no water and the toilets were plugged up and unusable and no sign anywhere. No ranger or any person in charge of pace of play. We saw fivesomes on the course ahead of us. It was clearly apparent to us in 3 hours that the members at this resort are running amok, there are no rangers to maintain pace of play and monitor the facilities, a certain pro shop senior employee was being unprofessional upon our check in.
However, the course grooming was very good, the greens were fast and the scenery was as always very nice. BUT this place is not being managed as in the past and there are better courses in Green Valley and Tucson. Suggest you review the comments on the food and beverage service also and give some thought about what has happened here. We are very surprised and disappointed.

Nice course in the desert with lots of water. Course is in great shape!

Very nice course layout, greens are fast. This is a fun but tough course, but will play this again. Hats off to all of the grounds keepers, doing a great job!!!!!

Had friends down from Minnesota and they always enjoy playing at Tubac.

I have played Tubac for the last 20 years and it is still one of my favorite courses. Always in good shape and the staff is wonderful.
