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.

Beautiful views target golf

Starr Pass plays in the hills and offers tremendous views from several holes. Course is in very good condition. Lots of carries over desert from the tees and at times for shots into greens making this course a challenge for many golfers and difficult for the high handicap golfer.

A Must Play Course in Tucson

I have now played Starr Pass 4 times. I believe it is a must play course whenever you are in Tucson. I enjoy the conditions (nice fairways and greens-fast). It is a "target" type course. It helps to hit the fairways or risk losing your ball in the desert. My course handicap was 11 and I play from the silver tees (Slope 128). I always enjoy playing here. And, it you're short on time the Coyote 9 holes is always an option to get in a 2 hour or little over round.

Tough Course

I like the course. The greens roll so nice and the views are beautiful. The course is difficult for average or below golfers. The Roadrunner 9 is much easier than Rattler.

If I played the course again I think I would get the hang of it but the first time is a tester.

Eddie the starter is the man. 17 years at his job. We were paired up with a great twosome yesterday and the pace was excellent. Course (all of it) was in excellent condition.

Love this course

Everything was great except pace of play. . Didn't get to play the last hole because they wanted the cart back. And we had to wait on the group ahead. Need a Marshall.
