The Club at Starr Pass - Palmer/Gambler

I always enjoy playing star pass it’s always in good conditions, tee boxes, sand, and fairways. The greens are great. Worth the drive 🌵😎

From the time I arrived to the time I left, the experience was first class. Everyone I conversed with was very friendly, the practice area was great and the overall course was in great condition and challenging.

Great views, the course was full of challenging golf holes. Would definitely play again and a good value for the money.

18 holes wasnt enough beauty. Had to play the short course also

This is one of the best courses in the valley. Outstanding vistas. The golf is definitely desert target golf. You must play the right tees for your level of game. Given the elevation the course plays a lot longer than what one would expect. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were receptive and rolled true. A good golf test with excellent vistas.

Great course. Friendly staff. Only complaint was that the greens on the Gambler and Pioneer course are 5 months old so they are very firm. Will play there again.

We were mildly disappointed w the level of staffing

We had to handle our own bags loading & unloading at the bag drop because there was no one around

We saw the beverage cart early on the front nine but not again

We weren’t ready the first time but would have patronized later in the round

Beautiful course in good winter condition. Challenging but not so much as to discourage high handicap woman. Pace was good on a Friday afternoon. Carts are very comfortable and had great GPS screens, ball cleaners, ice coolers. Starter very personable. Service in bar/restaurant was slow.

The course was well designed for the desert and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The scenery was amazing and the holes were challenging but forgiving. Good shots are rewarded. Overall, a great experience.

Overall great experience. Second time playing Starr Pass. Great food in the restaurant. Guy at front didn’t say much, like I interrupted his day but the starter and the club attendants were very nice to us. Now the course itself is very well maintained. Extremely difficult track. Any off line shots and you’re looking double bogey or more. As seen in other reviews, yes the greens are concrete like, like the header of my review, like ‘putting at the bottom of a bathtub’ just barely tap it, and it runs 6-7 feet past. You’re already daunted by the layout so there should be some reward when you hit a good shot but instead no balls were holding the green when hit. I didn’t repair a single divot on the green all round long because there wasn’t any. That’s how hard the greens were, so just keep that in mind but otherwise we did have a great time and watch out for those Jumping Cactuses!!!

The complex was Beautiful as always. My only issue is the greens were rock hard & crazy fast. Easily the hardest and fastest, I've seen in my 6 years of living in Tucson. Set up more for Pros than for Amateurs. I don't have the backspin that the pros do, so my ball wouldn't hold one green. That was very disappointing. I think it's going to be awhile before I venture back to Starr Pass. Many other great choices in Tucson area with much friendlier greens.

More challenging than I remember. Would be nice if there were combo tees. Would play again.

I would like to play again when it’s not in dormant conditions.

Everything about Starr Pass is outstanding! Helpful staff, excellent practice area and golf course, spectacular scenery. Pace of play was great, too.

Great course layout. Tough course to score with very fast greens and plenty of trouble to find on the course. Many elevated greens with sand traps protecting the greens. Not many great landing areas around fast greens. Each hole has a unique layout with many elevation changes. Great view.

Starr Pass Golf Course is one of the best maintained courses we have played in Tucson, and it's a lot of fun to play. The food and cocktails at the grill right there at the golf course were first rate. We had a Manhattan cocktail, the smash burger with fries, and two unique desserts. Lovely evening. The grill stays open until 8 PM.
