Tubac Golf Resort & Spa hosts meetings, company retreats and weddings for up to 300 guests in its Geronimo Ballroom, with a mission-style chapel for 270, two lawns for 250 each and 98 rooms on site. The resort lies in Tubac, in southern Arizona, on ranch land that was once part of a Spanish land grant of the 1700s, next to a 27-hole golf course.
Seminars and company events
The Geronimo Ballroom covers 2,960 square feet and takes up to 300 guests, the largest indoor capacity on the property. Its patio adds outdoor seating for breaks. The Dos Silos Room, 1,022 square feet for up to 204 guests, works as a second room for breakout sessions or a separate dinner, and it has its own patio as well.
A retreat here mixes working sessions with golf on the 27-hole championship course, time at the full-service spa and the pool. Evening receptions move outside to the Apache Private Patio, partly covered, for up to 200 guests. The Stables Ranch Grille sits next to the ballroom, which keeps meals a few steps from the meeting room.
Weddings and receptions
The chapel, built in a mission style that recalls the 1700s, takes up to 270 guests for the ceremony. Receptions follow in the Geronimo Ballroom or on one of the Otero lawns. A Celebratory Wedding Package groups use of the chapel, the ballroom reception, tables and chairs, linens, place settings, a dance floor and an overnight suite for the couple. The on-site salon offers hair and makeup for the wedding party.

History and setting
The land belonged to the Otero Ranch, part of a Spanish land grant from the 1700s, and the resort keeps the ranch name on its lawns and a historic silo beside them. The golf course appeared in the 1996 film Tin Cup. Tubac is a small arts village with galleries and studios, set in desert country between mountain ranges along the Santa Cruz River.
