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.

Was the best kept course we played during the week. Pricey, but well worth the time and money. Bring your "A" game for sure. Great course!

Slow play

Usually pace of play is good here. However, we made it thru hole 15 and were at 4 hours. Waited every hole. We quit after 15 holes and when we commented on the slow play at cart return, the reply was “ma’am this is a resort course, it’s always slow”. We let them know that has not been our experience, and again, he said “it’s always slow.”Instead of 3 people hanging out at cart return, there should be a ranger out there.

Tough but interesting

The Rattler 9 holes has a lot of target holes. Tough to get over. But over all the fairways, tees and greens in very good shape. Traps not so much.

Pace was slow but was due to the men we were paired with. A ranger would have been helpful. Drink cart came around once in 18 holes.

But over all a very good time!

Gorgeous course at a great price

This course offers beautiful views, plays at a pleasant pace, and is a great value compared to the higher prices that other courses charge in the area.

The great: beautiful elevated tee boxes, wide fairways, excellent conditions, true-rolling greens, inspiring desert+mountain scenery.

Carts feature a GPS to help you figure out the right shots, and the beverage cart come around often.

Where your mileage may vary: this course is not beginner-friendly, with most holes carrying over an obstacle on the tee shot, on the approach to the green, or more often than not, both. You've been warned!

If that doesn't scare you, go ahead and enjoy the course, it's definitely worth it!
