The Anza Course at Tubac Golf Resort lies in southern Arizona's Santa Cruz River valley, roughly 45 miles south of Tucson near the historic artist community of Tubac. Red Lawrence designed the original layout in 1959, with Ken Kavanaugh later contributing renovations that refined the routing and features. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the upper Sonoran Desert, where elevation changes are moderate and native vegetation includes mesquite, palo verde, and various cacti species that frame the playing corridors. The design takes advantage of the valley setting, with views extending toward the Santa Rita Mountains to the east. The routing moves through relatively open desert landscape, and several holes incorporate arroyos and natural washes that influence strategy and shot placement. Water features appear on select holes, adding variety to what is primarily a desert-style layout where accuracy off the tee and approach play into typically firm conditions define the challenge. Tubac Golf Resort has served as a destination facility for decades, combining golf with the area's cultural attractions and proximity to the Mexican border region. The course reflects mid-century Arizona resort design principles, balancing playability for visitors with enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. The setting remains relatively quiet compared to larger Tucson-area resorts, and the historic character of Tubac itself—one of Arizona's oldest European settlements—adds context to a round played in this part of the state.
