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.

Lot going on around the course as they are cutting. Down a lot of areas. Maybe to make it a little more player friendly.

Starr Pass

Pace of play was terrible. Nearly 5 hours on a Tuesday. Starter at the first hole was a jerk, surprising he was so rude getting people going but the pace was terrible and there were no rangers to move things along. Get that from cos and you have a great course.

Slow play@!

Pace of play was at a standstill behind a foursome that did not belong on the course…. We did not see any staff taking any action to correct. We went to the shop after 4 holes and they did direct us to the other 9 where the pace of play was fine!

Great course terrible management

This is a great golf course that is in good condition. Not easy and probably not the best choice for beginners. Troon took over management recently and while course conditions have improved the overall experience has suffered. Cart staff seems uninterested in loading bags and cleaning clubs. Four people in pro shop doing nothing. Good starter but no rangers ever. Played here three times this month and pace of play was atrocious. 5 hour round every day , no ranger , it was pathetic. If you play here enjoy the scenery but don’t expect to play with any pace. For the price they should at least pretend to care.

A nice day in tucsson

Really enjoyed the Rattle and Coyote courses at Starr Pass. A beautiful sunny day with perfect temperatures. Course was in excellent condition and the greens ran true and fast.

The only downfall was one of the players in the group in front of us was very loud, dropping F Bombs after every errant shot (he had lots of them). He was so loud, I think most of the players on the course heard him! Very unpleasant. We approached the group at the clubhouse and his partners were very embarrassed. An unnecessary way to ruin an otherwise perfect day.

Wet and windy

Starr Pass is a superior golf course/facility. BUT, on his day all holes were walking only.. That was a major deficiency. A requirement such as this must be prominently disclosed prior to and a refund option be available.

Must play in Tucson

Love visiting Tucson and playing Starr Pass every year from Phoenix. Disappointed this year with how dirty the course was with garbage…..ie bottles, cans etc throughout the course. Never saw this before and hope it was a momentary lapse on the part of the staff. Clearly needed attention. Tough course that eats my lunch every year but I keep coming back. Here’s hoping u clean up your act.

very good value for the season

Chilly, breezy day & cart-path only due to wet conditions. So, a little slow, but still a very good value. Very enjoyable course layout and condition. Very courteous & friendly staff.

It’d be nice to live in one of the beautiful homes that surrounds this course

Practice greens much faster than actually greens.

Nice layout, nothing worth the winter prices, but it seems the clientele have money to burn. I’d play it again, but no t that memorable.
