Tubac Golf Resort & Spa
65 Avenida De Otero, Tubac, AZ 85646 Tubac Golf Resort & Spa The home of our couples golf weekend in Arizona, Tubac Golf Resort sits on 500 acres of the historic Otero Ranch, dating to 1789. The resort opened in 1959 with Bing Crosby as Chairman of the Board, and has been on the National Registry of Historic Hotels of America since 2008. Its Spanish Colonial architecture, cottonwood-lined fairways, and Santa Cruz River setting make it one of the most distinctive golf resorts in the Southwest. The resort offers 27 holes across three nine-hole courses — Rancho, Otero, and Anza — played in 18-hole combinations. The Rancho nine is most famous as the primary filming location for the 1996 Kevin Costner film Tin Cup. The Anza nine features a par-3 with an island green reminiscent of the 17th at TPC Sawgrass. And if the Tubac Triangle doesn’t humble you, the 651-yard par-5 eighth hole — nicknamed “Train Wreck” — will.

Weather in Late August August is Tubac’s sunniest month of the year. Mornings are warm, afternoons are hot, and late-day monsoon storms are part of the desert experience. The schedule is built around it.

+3% Ball Carry vs PHX
Elevation & ball carry

Tubac sits at 3,200 feet — about 2,100 feet higher than Phoenix. The thinner air means your ball carries roughly 3% farther, or 5-8 yards on a driver. Club down on approach shots. That 160-yard approach plays more like 155.

Early tee times are intentional

Saturday’s 7am start and Sunday’s 9am start are designed to get you off the course before peak afternoon heat. You’ll finish Round 1 by noon — pool time, not heat exhaustion.

Monsoon season

Late August is Arizona’s monsoon season. Afternoon storms roll in fast, are usually brief, and are genuinely spectacular to watch from the 19th hole. Morning rounds are almost always clear. See our weather policy in the FAQ.

Mornings are comfortable

At elevation and before 10am, Tubac mornings in August are actually pleasant — mid-70s at tee time, low humidity compared to the peak of summer. Bring sunscreen. Drink water. You know the drill.

Location & Directions Tubac Golf Resort is about 45 minutes south of Tucson and just under 2 hours from Phoenix. A straight shot down I-19 from either direction.

Couples Golf Weekend FAQ

Everything you need to know about the Tubac Stay & Play before you register.
How does the golf work?

Saturday is a couples scramble — you both tee off on every hole, pick the best shot, and play from there. It’s the most relaxed format in golf, great for any skill level. Sunday is 2-person best ball: each player hits their own ball and you record the better score on each hole. Gross and net winners awarded. Same formats we use at our Sedona Sunrise event.

Do we have to be a couple to register for the Tubac Stay & Play?

This is a couples golf event designed for two players traveling and staying together. Married, dating, or longtime playing partners — all welcome. Solo registrations are not available.

Is lodging required for the couples golf weekend?

Yes. The package includes 2 nights on property at Tubac Golf Resort. This is a stay-and-play weekend and the Saturday dinner and Friday Social Hour are built around the shared experience of being at the resort together.

What is the Friday practice round at Tubac Golf Resort?

An optional 18-hole round on Friday, August 28th. Book directly with Tubac Golf Resort — it’s not part of the event package. A great way to preview the course before Saturday’s round.

What is the cancellation policy for the Tubac Stay & Play?

All sales are final. We do not offer refunds once registration is confirmed. Spots may be transferred to another couple if you are unable to attend — please contact us to arrange a transfer before the event date. By registering you also agree to our Terms and Conditions, including the waiver and release of liability. We recommend only registering when your attendance is confirmed.

What happens if it rains during the couples golf weekend?

Play continues in all conditions unless Tubac Golf Resort officially closes the course. In the event of lightning, play may be paused. If a round is stopped after 7 holes, it counts as a completed 9. After 14 holes, the round is considered complete.

Limited to 10 Couples Arizona’s Best Couples Golf Weekend Two days of great golf at Tubac Golf Resort, great people, and a resort that earns its reputation. When registration opens, spots will go fast.
