Second Run

Second time playing Rattler & Coyote: Our day was perfect, on the hot side but not enough to keep us off the course. Played with my daughter and two local Fire Fighters. Conditions were great and the wildlife was unbelievable…… saw deer, coyotes, hogs, lizards an assortment of birds and even a bobcat.

Staff was friendly, Carts provided GPS and even built in BlueTooth. Plenty of Water on the course.

Looking forward to my return!

Course Improvements

Course was in pretty good shape. Lots of work has been done to clean up edges on the fairways, which is a nice improvement. Pace of play was fast, tees & fairways in good shape. Greens recently sanded but still playable. Enjoyed my round & will definitely be back again soon.

Beautiful views

I love the natural beauty of this course. It rewards accuracy. If miss the fairway you will probably lose your ball. One bonus is that it’s pretty easy to putt from off the green. I play this course every time I’m in Tucson.

Lots of interesting holes and great views

None of the holes are boring. Every one has its own special feature. Be sure to know your distances because there are many forced carry’s. On some holes, if you miss the green your ball could roll 20 yards downhill. The fringes are cut short so I used my putter a lot from off the green. It was fun.

Tough course, great layout

Great views, lot’s of wildlife and a fun course with a lot of challenges if you are a double digit handicap. Pace of play was a little slow for my liking. Greens were punched/aerated not long prior to my round but still rolled pretty good.

Beautiful spot, disappointing greens and bunkers

Beautiful spot to play. Disappointed in the condition of the course. Greens had been aerated and the ball rolled poorly and inconsistently. (not mentioned on golfnow)

First round here this spring and was also disappointed that so much of the surrounding vegetation had been pared back (scalped actually), totally changing the look and feel of most of the holes. Understand that pace of play is important but not at the expense of the design and aesthetics.Bunkers had sand but also many rocks. Course not up to it's former self.

Aeration Pox

The courses have the aeration pox. Hugely frustrating to putt the greens and watch the ball literally jump 5 degrees. Balls on the fairways end up in a hole.

I have played other courses recently aerated and have been impressed with the lack of gross surface defects. Dont know why a great course like Starr Pass uses this aggressive aeration technique.

Pace of play was efficient. Staff was friendly and helpful.
