About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 73
Length 6951 yards
Slope 141
Rating 73.7

The Club at Starr Pass offers 27 holes of championship golf that have been host to legends such as Arnold Palmer and Phil Mickelson. The holes are divided into three nines that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. One of these combinations is Coyote/Roadrunner. Coyote is the club's signature course and while the Roadrunner nine might be the shortest, it has plenty of elevation changes. Both golf courses are carved from the scenic Tucson Mountains, providing golfers with a diverse landscape that is abundant with jackrabbits, quail, and deer. In addition to the three nines, there is also a double-loaded driving range and a practice area with putting and chipping greens.

Incredible course. Played the pioneer and gambler. My wife who is a high handicap really enjoyed the Pioneer, but still managed to have fun on the gambler. Beautiful views and great condition. Will play again.

1st visit

We really enjoyed the golf….course was in great shape, a bit challenging but fun. The views were awesome. We had booked tee time through GolfNow and got a great deal!

The amenities were very nice, although the clubhouse had a private function in the evening and we were unable to go in and have dinner afterwards, which was disappointing.

Overall a good experience.
