The Club at Starr Pass - Pioneer/Palmer

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.

This is a return visit, last time was 25 years ago. Fun to play, the Palmer course is a bit difficult to start at. Overall it was a good trip.

BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE , SOME GREENS WERE CUT OUT , HARD TO PUTT.

THE STARTER GUY WAS VERY RUDE, FIRST TIME THERE, AND ALREADY ALMOST REGRETED PLAYING THERE, WE WERE IN TOWN FOR 2 DAYS AND HAD MANY OPTIONS.. HE HAS NO PLACE TALKING TO PAYING CUSTOMERS LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN.

OTHER THAN THAT --- WE PLAYED LIGHTS OUT !!! THANK YOU

I have had friends that have played here. We wanted a quick AZ vacation. Very playable golf course. Interesting layout. Will be here for a couple of days.

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.

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.

Great course. weather was great, upkeep is great. greens were pretty sanding for this round, but have had them perfect prior. pace was great.

clubhouse bar closed at 4p which wasn't great for an afternoon tee time.

Love the layout. The greens need some time but should be phenomenal in a while. Will definitely be back.

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.

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.

The staff support at the start left something to be desired. I was paired up with another single, but go no instructions or direction as to which of the three nines we were supposed to tee off on. As it is we went to the one we thought we were supposed to be playing and turned out wrong and we had to backtrack and join up with another twosome on the third hole of a different nine.

On course amenities were so-so, water wasn't iced, bathrooms hard to find. On the whole, not up to expectations for a "resort course" experience.

Played SP first time since management change. Hopefully this is not South of things to come Tee to green the course was in great shape, but the greens were in terrible shape. not what SP has been up to in the past. Staff and amenities are as good as always.

No staff direction to which routing we were assigned. On course amenities, water, restroom rooms, etc weak. Not on par with other resort courses.

First off, I really enjoyed my round at Starr Pass. We were staying on site in the golf suites (which were great), so it was very convenient and our first round in Tucson. The course layout was excellent, very fair and varied from hole to hole. Definitely not cookie cutter. My one criticism of the layout is the tee boxes could use better signage. My son was playing the tips and they were sometimes hard to locate. The course conditions were above average overall, tees and fairways were excellent, but the greens had a fair amount of dead areas and were probably on the low end of all the courses we played. My biggest negative from the round is the course has 27 holes, we booked Rattler/Roadrunner as they were highly recommended. When we checked in, we were told that Roadrunner was closed, our rotation would be Coyote/Rattler and they were both cart path only. I'll never understand why courses who use online booking feel this is okay to pull with their guests without prior warning. I'm in good shape, but for some players this is a deal breaker in 100 degree heat, not to mention, not what we paid for. All that being said clubhouse personnel were all very friendly and helpful. Cart girl made plentiful visits and was also very personable. To sum it all up, nice course that could be a little better maintained, great desert views that make you forgive the conditions a bit, but call and check with the clubhouse for any unusual circumstances before booking.
