Designed by Red Lawrence and named after the Otero family, the original front nine of the Tubac Golf Resort features a parkland layout and fairways that wind through our historic homes, casitas, ponds and lakes. Holes 5, 8, and 9 are bordered by water.

Water guards the entire left side of this beautiful Par 4 looking back at the chapel. We are talking about high risks and rewards here. And even when your drive stays dry, your second shot will test your nerve again. Take your par and go.

Scenic and challenging, the Rancho nine are set along the banks of the Santa Cruz River. Unlike any other golf setting in Southern Arizona, the mesquite Bosques and cottonwoods create a unique and lush feeling.

This long par 5, Tubac’s Tin Cup hole, requires three well-struck shots to reach the green. The pond fronting the green prevents all but the longest hitters from getting “home” in two. This hole was the setting for the scene in the movie Tin Cup where Kevin Costner was caddying for Don Johnson and Johnson wanted to lay up with a seven iron.

The Anza Nine-named after Juan Bautista de Anza, the commandant of the Tubac Presidio that founded the city of San Francisco-featuring captivating mountain views, challenging holes, and ends of the famous par 3 island green in front of Stables Patio Bar.

This Par 3 should remind you of the 17th TPC Sawgrass except for the cattle of course. Finding the island green is tough enough with all that water, but thrown in the spectators at the Stables Patio Bar heckling anyone whose ball finds a watery grave, and it gets even tougher. The intimidation factor is high here. Par is always a good score.
