The Club at Starr Pass - Gambler/Pioneer

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it to be a nice value for vacation golf. The desert eats errant shots but it you search you’ll find 4x or more balls easily. The pro shop is under construction so they have a trailer and a food truck. I played the next day on a Sunday and the pave of play was excellent.

This course has really improved the last couple years. The bunkers are best in Tucson. They also have cleaned up some of the waste areas and edges of fairways. Always been a beautiful course but now the conditions make it more fun

We played Coyote/Palmer and found the course to be in much better shape than when we played last year. The starter, David, was friendly and knowledgeable and a real asset to this course. Tee time was 9:20 am and we played in about 3,5 hours, maybe less. My wife felt that there were too many forced carries on the Palmer and preferred the Coyote/ Rattler routing from last year. I like Coyote/Palmer. I played Silver on both but easily could have played back. Silver on Palmer is shorter than Coyote. All in all, a good, fast day. Would play again.

Beautiful course (we played Palmer/Rattler) with very nice driving range and putting green. Lots of wildlife on the course (we saw as many as 16 dear on a single hole). Conditions were excellent. Often a steep penalty for moderately off-line shots which is typical of desert golf. Clubhouse and restaurant were undergoing complete renovation so they had temporary amenities which is the only reason for 3 stars in that category.

Played Starr Pass golf course and found the fairways to be green and groomed and the greens to be fast and manicured. Course has some challenging holes but has something for every skill level. Highly Recommend the course but follow directions in your cart as there are some

Holes that require cart Travel To. Enjoy!

Golf course was great, but staff was disengaged / not welcoming.

Food was awful, and drinks was over-priced.

I won't go back, - there are many good courses with great service.

A very scenic course that was in good shape. It had a special ability to somehow suck my balls into the cactus and brush on the sides of the fairways through absolutely no fault of my own. The greens on the front 9 were very different than back (different grass) so you have to adaptable. Pro shop under renovation so washrooms etc are a bit of a challenge. Value for dollar was good compared to other courses in the area.

Get to the club house there is no bathroom which is ridiculous.

This course is a joke, was quoted $89.00 rate to play, when I arrived I was charged $120.00. When I questioned the rate the staff person said “oh well sorry”.

The range was a mess, barely any grass on the range tee, ground was so hard you couldn’t get e tee in the ground.

The course was even worse, hardly any grass on tee boxes, again ground so hard cannot get e tee in the ground.

Greens are awful, sod patches everywhere. Greens are hard and do not hold a shot.

Terrible layout, terrible conditions, terrible staff!

Checked in 45 minutes early for my tee-time, fat guy working the counter in the pro shop, which was in a temporary trailer, was rude. He didn’t say hello, didn’t say thank you and when I asked why a glove cost $35, he said, “we could double the price and still sell just as many“. They were low on golf carts which delayed our tee off by about 20 minutes as well.

On the back nine, a male Karen homeowner who was irate that a group prior to us had hit a ball onto his property. He was standing guard, and when I walked over to the left part of the fairway near him, he said “you’re lucky you didn’t hit that ball onto my property. You’d be extracting that golf club from your ***.

The golf course is beautiful, the property is beautiful, but the rude staff, overbooked course, and the homeowners absolutely ruin the experience.

Had a great day golfing at the Starr Pass golf course. The course was challenging for us, however the weather was beautiful. I would golf at the course anytime I can find reasonable rates.

If you want a challenging golf course, play this one. It is scenic is and the greens are not all

Flat. I highly recommend this course. Enjoy!
