Outstanding Forced-Carry Golf!

What a track! If you don’t like the challenge of forced Carrie’s, pick somewhere else. Course conditions were outstanding, except they lost a star for the tee boxes. Not good, and several needed rolling to level out. But overall, a great day of golf! Can’t wait to go back.

Coyote/Palmer courses

Tee to Green course was Great. Fairways are in great shape. Bunkers looked nice, thank goodness I missed them all today. Greens rolled very nice. Only issue was repair marks on the greens, the Javelina like to burrow on the greens unfortunately. But still a course worth visiting. If 18 isn't enough they have 27. The views are 10/10. I didn't have time for some BBQ today but recommend the pulled pork sandwich.

A golf course ? A zoo ?

So many animals, deer families with small kids, sooo cute.

Even a coyote was watching us.....

The course is in very good condition.

We play every year around this time and we will be back for sure.

Disappointed

Standing water in bunkers (how does this happen when it doesn’t rain?), water stations but no cups, many greens were rough around the edges (and yes, they did affect play), 4 1/2 round with the cart telling us we were 15-20 minutes behind schedule (yet we were constantly keeping up with the group ahead of us and never saw a ranger!). And in 18 holes we saw the beverage cart once.

For the price of admission, I think you could improve some things.

I’d rate this experience overall a 2.5.

There are better options for this price and lower.

Nice course

Greens are still pretty new but fair. Course is in great shape, cart path only that day. Starters need some work on welcoming their quests. Not helpful, didn't inquire just assumed. Directions were vague about where to play the 2nd nine. Felt like we were a necessary inconvenience to them.

I love Starr Pass a gem of Southwest Tucson. Wonderful course layout, takes advantage of natural landscape, and had freshly reseeded winter rye.

101 degrees but still worth it.

Played Rattler and one other 9. Last year Rattler was not over seeded and the ball rolled forever. This time is was plush and very little carry. Key to enjoy is picking the correct tees and not being greedy. Great course.
