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.

Thank you
Tees had quite a few bare spots and the greens were a little bumpy at times. The layout is beautiful and very playable. I found it strange that the sand bottles for filling divots were full of pretty large rocks. I can't give enough praise for the honesty of the cart staff that found, secured and returned my buddy's wallet that was left in our cart

A bit disappointing!
Would have been nice to have been told that they are undergoing major renovations and under construction before we spent $250 to play! No clubhouse, no bar, no pro shop, except for a little trailer, and port-a-potties only! The greens are in horrible shape and the fairways mediocre. They should have at least offered some sort of a discount! Supposed to finish renovations in June we were told, just in time for 110 degree temperatures!

Great weather for our round at Starr Pass. I was warned about the course being very tight but had few issues with hitting fairways. The greens were receptive, just ask about the grain from the starters, they will provide tips.
