About

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.

Great 9 holes

Played here on 2/18/22. Paired up with a very nice couple. The course was immaculate and the staff was very friendly. My only complaint was the walker who was on by himself who caught up to our 4 some and hit into us on the green from less that 100 yards out. Other than that, had a great time!

Nice track.

Course conditions all around solid.

Two greens had 3 or 4 foot square repairs on then but that’s a good thing. They’re staying on top of their greens.

I’ll play there again.

Starr Pass afternoon

We had just arrived from Illinois - very eager to play. Got a 2:00 tee time. Sunset a few minutes after 6:00. Very fast play. So we finished in well under 4 hours.

Two negatives: Lots of deep ball marks on the greens and very little sand in bunkers. ALSO: access to restrooms between Rattler and Roadrunner is difficult and time consuming Since we had players right behind us, we kept going. But if you really needed the stop…..would be a problem.

Fun course, course condition somewhat disappointing for the green fee.

Always fun to play this course on this beautiful site. Conditions of turf and particularly bunkers disappointing for a course of this price and caliber.

Beautiful course

Very tough! Lots of huge waste areas to hit over in front of most greens on the Rattler nine and cart path only on 5 out of nine holes. The Roadrunner was not as hard and could take cart out on all holes but par threes. Sand traps didn’t have a lot of sand and had many rocks.

Great Scenic Golf Course

Starr Pass is in exceptional condition with fast true greens and lush over seeded fairways and tees. The course is built in and around the mountains. The views are amazing and the well designed holes present many challenges off the tee as well as into the greens. I highly recommend the course and the partner JW Marriott resort as well. Hit em well!

Excellent Course

It’s a tough course to play for the first time due to the number of blind shots or carries over desert that are tough to figure out off the tee. Course and range in very good condition. Pace of play was very good. Tough course to score on until you play it a few times. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful course with lots of challenges

First time on this course. I played the Coyote 9 (I think) and $30 price was very reasonable for this high quality course. If you’re a first timer, make sure you take a map and stay on designated course. There are several and have overlapping points. I think I accidentally ended up on a different course since my 9 hole course ended over a mile from the clubhouse but it was a nice walk back.
