Golf at Tubac
Welcome to Southern Arizona’s most historic golf resort. Tubac was designed in 1959 by renowned golf course architect Robert ‘Red’ Lawrence. The original 18-hole course was considered to be the “Jewel of Southern Arizona Golf Courses.” Red was a founding member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects and designed several famous courses throughout the country. In 2006, nine additional holes were woven into the original 18 by local golf course architect Ken Kavanaugh, significantly enhancing the layout.
LifeLong Golfers will enjoy learning in a private practice area during golf school sessions and will play all all three of the acclaimed 9-hole routings: The Otero Course, The Anza Course and Ranchero Course.

In addition to learning and playing each day, students will enjoy a FootJoy shopping experience, premium Titleist balls and a LifeLong Golf gift that includes golf school books and practice guides for independent continued improvement.
