The Club at Starr Pass - Palmer/Gambler

Played Rattler/Canyon and it was fun except (and it’s a big except) that the round took 4 hours and 50 minutes. We did not see any rangers, and the course was clogged well beyond the group in front of us. This does not reflect on the course itself, but staff can do better keeping the pace of play moving.

On the plus side, there were deer present on a few holes, and they seemed pretty used to people.

What a great desert course! There was just enough shade and breeze make our hot day into an awesome golf day! Thanks to all the friendly staff that took sick good care of us 😊.

It’s always a treat and a pleasure to play Starr Pass….. Rattler & Coyote this day.

Each time we play golf here, we also play “wildlife bingo,” we have seen hogs, coyotes, deer, hawks, snakes and even a bobcat. Let’s not forget the great challenge Starr Pass presents,

See you again SP!!

Don't rent clubs or buy anything at the pro shop. Astronomical prices compared to green fees or the area.

The person at the pro shop didn't indicate the course was deemed cart path only. I would have not played if I knew that fact. The staff was totally abhorrent in service. I was very shocked regarding this.

Very nice course layout and excellent conditions of greens and fairways. Score better after playing it a time or two but very fun.

The fairways were beautiful, the tee boxes in great shape and the greens were in pristine shape. Great experience!!! They take great care of the grounds and their visitors!!

Overseeing necessitated golf path only and affected course conditions. Would like to play it again when fairway and greens cut.

One 9 was closed-Coyote, but the other two are the best (Palmer, Rattler) although due to overseeding we were forced to drive out to the middle of the course. Excellent condition, especially for this time of year-would give it 5 stars except the greens were VERY slow.

A few of the tee shots have cactus or brush that you need to avoid to get to the fairway.

Lots of deer on the course, especially Rattler 9.

Didn't get to play Coyote due to overseeding.

Getting to Palmer 1 from the clubhouse required driving along the main road to the course. This was also the case when transitioning from Palmer 9 to Rattler 1.

The temps exceeded 100°F near noon. Uncommon for October.

Not sure what is going on, but course in very “iffy” condition :-(. Previously it is has been pretty good...

Fairways, greens, and bunkers were mostly in good shape. A few of the greens were in repair mode, but not significant.

Pace of play was excellent (3.5 hour round) & staff were great.

Would recommend playing this course.
