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.

In Transition

Amenities are under construction.

Depleted staff members doing their best to help golfers enjoy the experience.

Starter on my date was exceptionally positive and helpful.

Fabulous views and course design.

Greens are in great condition.

Fairways need work.

Driving range needs attention, too.

Always enjoy the course

The only thing that didn’t work this time was I needed to grab a bite. The food truck needs better organization. The club house credit card terminal needs to work !

Great Course Best Bunkers in Tucson

They have done a lot of work on the course. Player just 9 holes on Coyote and it continues to improve. Bunkers had new soft sand. Greens ran true and fairways were in great condition. Played in an hour so no problem with pace of play. Staff at the pro shop were very friendly. A trailer for now as they renovate the clubhouse. The course keeps improving. Play the Coyote Rattler combo as the Plamer is a bit funky. I wish they still had the silver/gold combo on the scorecard. That’s a nice distance. Silver is a bit short and gold can be a bear on a couple of the holes. We used to rotate Starr Pass with Arizona National but this is much better level of service, great practice facilities and way better conditions. For the same price or often more at AZ National, this is far better value.

Trash course w trashier patrons

I normally don’t leave reviews, but this place sucked so bad i felt compelled. I took my 18yo son on a Saturday while in Tucson to visit UA. We played Palmer then Rattler. Palmer is the worst 9 hole layout i’ve ever seen, w 3 Par 3s . The tee boxes were anything but level, and the greens had 5x more un repaired ball marks than the worst Muni i’ve ever played. We waited on every hole, and every single shot. At the turn we ordered some hot dogs, which were super good. The clubhouse is being remodeled but they still had really good dogs, smash burger, and pulled pork. Food was the highlight. The next 9 was even more atrocious. Every single Par 4 or 5 was too short w hard run outs to ever hit a Driver. We had so many pure drives down the middle that ended up in the Cactus. We were never rewarded for a single good Drive. I’ve played tough target golf courses w blind shots before, but these tracks were the worst. Our back 9 took 3 hours to play because there were numerous hooligans hacking it up everywhere. The day culminated on hole 16 as we waited 15 min for the group in front to clear. Eventually they waived us on to hit our approach shots, which seemed weird. When we came up to the green they still had 1 of their carts hanging by the green. We quickly realized why as the young punks jumped out of their cart w clubs in hand. begging for a fight. We were flabbe and confused as we never hit in to them or said a word about their slow play. We simply waited back respectfully the entire time. I’m a 51 yo Male w my 18 yo Son. My son is a big football player, so he laughed and said no thanks. He could have crushed them both himself, but we weren’t drunk, like them, and looking to fight. We just continued to chip and putt in, and eventually the punks moved on since we weren’t giving them what they wanted. We played the last 2 holes in over 50 min, only to find the punks and their friends waiting for us at the club house. We just drove past them and alerted the bag boy, who didn’t seem shocked at all. I will never play this facility again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing round of golf. This place is Trash, w trash people who don’t respect other people or the game of golf. The course/hole layouts are the worst i’ve ever seen, and the maintenance of the course sucks too. The food was great but that’s about the only redeeming quality of the entire place.

p.s.- we did have a wild boar almost charge us on one of the fairways. There are some nappy deer, and beware of Rattle snakes and every type of prickly bush m cactus u can imagine. you’ll need lots of balls too as none of the fairways hold Drives.

Beautiful challenging layout

This course is not for beginning golfers. Lots of forced carries and target golf. Bring extra balls. But the course is amazingly beautiful and a fantastic challenge. We come here every year for two weeks and don't play anywhere else. Love it!

Starr Pass on this

The course was in great shape, but I did not care for the layout. Too many forced carry and too many runouts into arroyos, bushes etc. Not a good course for higher handicaps.

Target golf at it's finest

Definitely a nice course and experience, but not somewhere I'd like to play regularly. Not a particularly long course, but every hole is a layup/course management play. It gets old for 18 holes. You can hit quality golf shots and be penalized if you roll out of a fairway or miss a green (lost ball in the desert that is unplayable). It may get better if you play multiple times and know the lines, but imo not the best golf experience for the money.
