Slow

The play was extremely slow. Over 5 hours for the round. There was no ranger to move the slow players. The only but was that it was 4th of July.

No water on the course

This is a nice resort course with 27 holes. 9 we played were fantastic and the other 9 the greens were not near as good or same as the 9 we played. Too bad or would have rated higher. And absolutely zero water coolers on any of the 27 holes. Maybe they do that to make money on drinks, BUT when 4 months of the year are 95-100 degrees you need coolers on the course. Better hope no heat stroke out there or they are getting sued! Beautiful area, staff a bit put out that they must assist you, but overall one of our favorite 2 courses in the area.

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.
