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.

Gorgeous weather

Greens were spotty. Have never seen them like that before. Fairways were nice. Many deer. No cups in cart for water. No indoor bathrooms…outside was nasty. Group in front of us teed off 7 minutes late. We waited virtually every hole. Weather was perfect! Don’t know if I’d return. Thanks.

Great course but slow play

This is a great course to play. However, the pace of play was very slow. The clubhouse says 4.5- 5 hours to play is normal. That is very slow. If they would put a marshall on the course to keep the slow groups moving, would make a huge difference. But the course seems understaffed and not willing to make the pace of play better.

Greens

Greens were inconsistent and had a lot of ball marks.

Either golfers need to do a better job fixing ball marks or they need to be rolled?

Thursday play - needs a Rangerrrr !!!!

Nothing ruins more the enjoyment of golf then slow play with Golfers who are drinking alcohol during play. You got to be kidding me ! I play here often in the afternoon to get away from a long day. To encounter the wining and complaining golfers all around the course is pathetic ! I’ll stay local for better pace of play.

Beautiful but difficult course

This is a spectaular looking course. It became even more difficult playing the front nine because it was cart path only, which we were not told in advance. Going back and forth on those hilly fairways was very difficult for our wives and they finally stopped playing after 6 holes. We would have done things differently had we known.

Bunkers not raked. Way too many ball marks on greens ..no marshall seen . I believe the management could help with this .for the costs of the round ....educate customers throughout round ..a polite nudge on golf etiquette would help ..

Great course but very slow

Played Rattler/Canyon and it was fun except (and it’s a big except) that the round took 4 hours and 50 minutes. We did not see any rangers, and the course was clogged well beyond the group in front of us. This does not reflect on the course itself, but staff can do better keeping the pace of play moving.

On the plus side, there were deer present on a few holes, and they seemed pretty used to people.
