The Rancho/Otero combination plays through mature trees and cottonwood forests with lakes coming into play on a few holes. Tubac Golf Resort's Rancho nine is home to what is called the "Tubac Triangle," a notorious stretch of holes that consist of the longest par 3, par 4, and par 5 at the resort.

    This course has come a long way. The course is lush and fun to play. There are some of the most scenic holes you will play. The greens can be quick and fun to play.

    The combination of resort, restaurant and 27 holes makes it a fun place to stay and play. the Food was very good ad service was good.

    We really enjoy playing Tubac and love that it that it is not your typical desert golf course. Lots of trees, thick grass and not many cactus.
