Nice course overall

I enjoyed the course and the guys I was paired with as I went out as a single. The course layout makes things very challenging for the first time player. I hit a few shots that I I thought would be perfect based on the some guidance from the two guys who knew the course & I could not find my ball. I think you really have to play the course several times to get the lay of the land….

Other than that, this is a great course in a nice setting with limited houses and distractions other than a cool fighter jet or two buzzing by overhead!

Poor layout

They've rearranged the 3 nines and the Palmer course is a joke. Three par threes in the first five holes!! Enough said. I won't be back

Tale of two nines

This course has three different nines. I played the Coyote and Palmer. That Coyote is rough if you haven't seen it before. I unloaded eight balls on that side. I lost of javalena on the first tee box and two coyote on the first green. I hope the pictures load. Tough track with different greens on each side. Work is being done to improve so be aware.

Tale of two nines

This course is three different nines. I played the coyote and the Palmer. I lost eight balls on the Coyote course and only two on the Palmer. Greens are sanded right now and some patches on the green. If you're playing back tees there are some good carries to the fairway.

A family of javalena met me on the first tee, two coyotes were waiting on the first green, they followed me to hole two and I went to further tee.

Hoped for better

Views were outstanding. Very nice layout. Areas around greens were under repair making bump and run shots not available. Changed whole complexion of play making scores higher than they should be. Bars were closed for renovations. 19th hole wasn't a bit of bad timing.

Disappointed and won’t be back for a while

I played the Coyote/Palmer courses during a March visit and thought I would try them again. Big difference. The Coyote greens were just dreadful with parts of the greens dead or sectioned with sod. The Palmer course had just opened that day with new Triblend greens. Most of the greens were in fantastic condition except for the eighth which was back to the dead/sod combination. I was told there has been a change in maintenance staff, so hopefully things will improve. The staff at Star Pass couldn’t have been nicer. I’d be nice too if the course is in poor condition.

Not happy

My tee time was booked at 10AM. Got to the course and found they moved me to 950A, then while practice putting the starter came to me and said I have been moved to 1020A. Really, no notice. Play was so slow. Ask why and I was told it's a resort course so I should chill. Quit after 11 and went back to proshop to leave and saw 4 workers sitting in golf carts who did not get out to help or offer help. I left and 30yards away one yelled thanks for playing. My advice, DON'T PLAY.

Someway Disappointing

This course is normally a great course, but the day we played it was more like an ordinary municipal course with very mediocre greens. The fairways were in nice shape and the layout is a joy to play. When we checked in with the staff, who were very professional, gave us the bad news that we would be playing the same 9 twice because of ongoing work on the other course. They also told us the bar and grill were closed for “summer hours.”

I’m sure the course will be good again sometime in the future. But it was disappointing when we played.

Greens are getting worse

Only Rattler was available for play.

The greens were almost unputtable. I know they are intending to rebuild them, but the greens and fringes an unplayable patchwork of resodding, sand and bare spots.

The fairways and traps were in excellent shape.

There were very few players. Play was so sparse that the bar & grill was closed. The upside is that the pace of play was great.
