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.

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.

Outstanding Views

This is one of the best courses in the valley. Outstanding vistas. The golf is definitely desert target golf. You must play the right tees for your level of game. Given the elevation the course plays a lot longer than what one would expect. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were receptive and rolled true. A good golf test with excellent vistas.

Great course!

Great course. Friendly staff. Only complaint was that the greens on the Gambler and Pioneer course are 5 months old so they are very firm. Will play there again.

We were mildly disappointed w the level of staffing

We had to handle our own bags loading & unloading at the bag drop because there was no one around

We saw the beverage cart early on the front nine but not again

We weren’t ready the first time but would have patronized later in the round

Beautiful course

Beautiful course in good winter condition. Challenging but not so much as to discourage high handicap woman. Pace was good on a Friday afternoon. Carts are very comfortable and had great GPS screens, ball cleaners, ice coolers. Starter very personable. Service in bar/restaurant was slow.

Course is a classic desert setting.

The course was well designed for the desert and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The scenery was amazing and the holes were challenging but forgiving. Good shots are rewarded. Overall, a great experience.

Bathtub Greens

Overall great experience. Second time playing Starr Pass. Great food in the restaurant. Guy at front didn’t say much, like I interrupted his day but the starter and the club attendants were very nice to us. Now the course itself is very well maintained. Extremely difficult track. Any off line shots and you’re looking double bogey or more. As seen in other reviews, yes the greens are concrete like, like the header of my review, like ‘putting at the bottom of a bathtub’ just barely tap it, and it runs 6-7 feet past. You’re already daunted by the layout so there should be some reward when you hit a good shot but instead no balls were holding the green when hit. I didn’t repair a single divot on the green all round long because there wasn’t any. That’s how hard the greens were, so just keep that in mind but otherwise we did have a great time and watch out for those Jumping Cactuses!!!
