Bogey Golfer

Too many blind tee shots for the first round played here. Some fairways were not even visible from the tee boxes. Almost every shot from the fairway was from an uneven lie. Without direction from playing partner, some holes would have been unplayable for a bogey golfer like myself as hazards were not always visible when hitting. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great range and putting green.

Very nice course

Stay in the fairway. Narrow landing area for the drive. Penalized if you miss fairways.

Great round except for the 40 minute downpour

Starr Pass is a great golf course. Not for beginners , as you need to elevate the ball in numerous occasions. Course layout is challenging and very scenic. Course conditions were very good, greens rolled fast. Only problem was it poured for 40 minutes, so we had to sit in our cart on the 6th hole (not too much shelter available). After the rain the greens held better but were considerably slower. Even with the 40 minute rain delay we finished the round in under 4 hours. Bag attendants could have been a little more inviting, (had to unload our bag to the cart ourselves), but the starter was great.

Starr course review

This course is fairly narrow and anything hit outside of the fairway was hardpan that slopes away from play. Most of the time that means the ball either kicks into or quickly rolls into unplayable areas as if it were on the cart path itself. The average player will score high due to this so if score isn't important and you, you can still enjoy a good track. The fairways and greens were in great shape so those shots are very rewarding.

I didn't appreciate the course marshal telling us to pick up the pace when our cart said we were on pace and had no one behind us pressing. When I showed him what the cart was telling us he said "don't believe those things". There was no reason for that whatsoever. We finished in just under 4 hours and would have done so without being told to.

Animal park

Beautiful course in immaculate condition. Great views up and down the mountain especially with the deer,havaelinas, and wolves roaming the course. Lightning fast greens that make you focus on your putts. A great experience but a challenging course. Be sure and listen to your starter and take his advice.

Great Course

This is my third time and the conditions are always too notch.

You have to play the course more than once to know where to hit the ball.

Not the best layout for high handicappers .

Will play it again.

Beautiful but ….

The course is beautiful and in excellent shape. A challenge for all but especially for less skilled golfers. We booked to walk nine holes one day but arrived from another country to find the course has no pull carts. Then they charged us $25 per person for a power cart. The most expensive nine holes ever played.
