Great desert course layout

Starter was an unfriendly transplant from your local muni course, must be the father in law of one of the staff.

Design is beautiful and fun, a second and third round would make it easier and even more fun, there is a learning curve to the layout.

some super challenging, interesting and thoughtful par 4’s, don’t plan on hitting driver off every tee.

many of the tee boxes were in poor shape, not near flat with some serious undulation. we had to work sometimes to find a flat spot to hit from.

Overall a great course, green looked nice, but rolled pretty slow the day we played, made it a bit tougher. some maintenance needed around a few of the more irregular ( and very cool) green complexes

Unbelievable course conditions for summertime

This course was in top condition, even better than most AZ courses in winter! Tricky layout for someone that has never played here before, course management is a must.

Smooth

What a pleasure to play a Tucson course in late July with perfectly smooth and receptive greens!! If you miss a putt that’s on you— Starr Pass is a challenging course but worth the effort.

Cheers and thumbs up to the entire staff—
