Two scenic golf courses, in two very different parts of the state, were sold last Friday. Mountain Capital Partners closed on Tubac Golf Resort & Spa and Sedona Golf Resort, adding to its Arizona portfolio, alongside Birdie Ranch and Bison Golf Club in Show Low in the White Mountains.
For passholders at Tubac or Sedona, there's a bonus: a free round of golf at each of those four Arizona courses through Dec. 31, 2026, and, for kids 12 and under, a free ski, mountain bike or golf pass. MCP says it's a combination not offered to any other season pass holders in the U.S.
MCP acquired the Show Low property in 2023, and MCP partner Kuzi Mutsiwegota has now tripled the company's golf business.
For those interested in ski pass part of this deal, a season
pass can be used at any of 11 resorts in the U.S. but also Chile."It's the most expansive Power Pass in our program's history," Mutsiwegota said in a news release. "We know of no other season pass in the world that gives kids 12 and younger free skiing, free mountain biking and free golf, with no adult purchase required. Kids who learn to ski and bike with us can now learn to play golf with us, too. That's how you grow the game. Now the whole family has one more reason to get outside, year-round, together."
Tubac Golf Course is in Tubac, Arizona, about 23 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. The golf course is famous for being one of the main movie sets for the Kevin Costner-Rene Russo golfing rom-com Tin Cup. Actor and dancer Bing Crosby was a part of an investment group that purchased the property in 1959, with the idea of creating a remote hideaway for some of Hollywood's elite. Some 100 or so years before that, the property was a part of the Gadsden Purchase, which made a narrow strip of land across southern Arizona and New Mexico a part of the U.S. and pushed the southern border several miles south.
Sedona Golf Resort is a Troon managed property. This Gary Panks-design opened in 1987 and is surrounded by Sedona's iconic red rocks.
