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

Pristine greens despite the heat. Unbelievable interaction with wildlife. The coyote, Frank, was relaxing 15ft from the driving range; roadrunners and Jack rabbits were seen at literally every tee box. Great value.

Starr Pass is ok

Well they ruined a great 18 hole course to squeeze in 27. I played the old TPC Starpass 30 years ago and it was great most of the holes are still there but its really kind of boring now lots of non driver holes and many that feel like they are the same 380 to 430 yard par 4 on repeat. I also played the other nine which is the old back 9 and it was still roughly the same but $45 to ride an extra 9 after paying for 18 is excessive I paid 60 to play 18 and they charge $45 for an additional 9 in 105 degree heat you would think you would get a decent deal considering it is extra revenue in the heat of summer on an empty golf course. Lots of blind shots and strange tee box locations from the back and no directional signage and multiple times you hit drives over residential streets and have to wait for cars or stop and back off so a car can pass. The new holes are pretty bland either wedge approach or short par 4 drive and chip.
