Tubac Golf Resort and Spa
History
In 1789, 28-year old Don Toribio de Otero received the first land grant in the Spanish territory of Primeria Alta. According to the terms of the grant, Otero set about establishing a school and hacienda surrounded by large orchards of fruit trees. Despite the perils of Apache attacks, the Civil War and the struggle of life on the frontier, the family persevered over the next several generations. In 1959, the property was bought by a group of prominent local businessmen, including legendary entertainer Bing Crosby. For more than two centuries, the resort has been a central force in the life of the community and the region.
