I enjoy playing at Starr Pass. The courses are challenging but playable and in very good condition. The staff was great from start to finish and I consider the early summer rates to be a great value (just play early!).

Challenging round of golf
Great condition course , smooth fast greens, fairways well watered. Mesmerizing views from every hole. Had the course to myself it seemed. Really well stocked pro shop, super friendly staff. Restaurant not open Monday and Tuesdays so I did not get to eat as planned. No substantial or healthy choices on snack cart either. I will certainly return to golf this course again.

One of the best in Tucson
we played at around 2 pm and it was not that busy. . Probably due to the heat! We hit some balls and practiced some putts.There was a friendly starter and a couple of fun cart girls. The course was beautiful and in great shape. The fairways, tee boxes and green were all in great shape. There was lots of elevation changes, carries and plenty of trouble on the narrow fairways. Lots of wildlife-coyotes, Javelina, deer, lots of different birds..... The course offered challenges for HC 7 and 20.
