Found the course to be in the best condition of any course we had played in the area. We had a 2 PM tee time so we were worried that we wouldn't finish before Sunset but played the course in 3 hours with no waiting on any hole.

$80 for 9 holes of painted fairways

Booked nine holes at Starpass with my dad. The 9 holes was terrible condition, they failed to tell us it was the “in the process of being re conditioned” course. The fairways were PAINTED green and completely dead. It would’ve been fine if we didn’t pay premium prices, $80 person for 9. Okay, so we drove an hour, all the other courses are booked up, let’s make the best of it. We play the 9 holes. On the way in, I stop into the pro shop to request a refund. The manager proceeded to make a scene in front of other guest saying “you don’t go to a buffet, eat all the food, and ask for a refund” and I politely told him that I am just requesting a refund. That he does not have to give it to me, but that I’d be leaving a review of my experience on google. Angrily he told his employee to refund my purchase then proceeded to tell me again how “from a business standpoint” I shouldn’t have played the 9 holes if I wasn’t satisfied. I did not have the desire to argue with him so I just got my refund and left. Here’s the thing. If we didn’t plan 4 hours of the day to make the drive play 9 holes and drive back, I would’ve left on the first hole. If I was by myself, I would’ve left on the first hole. If there were other tee times at other courses, I would’ve left on the first hole. .

Nice 9 hole course - very walkable. Lots of scenery.

As the course was not busy - we were able to start about 10 minutes early. Roughly 2 hrs to play 9.

Not that great for the price

Took 2 visitors from out of state to play golf there. Paid in the vicinity of $150 each. At check in the credit course receipt had a line for adding a tip. I don't think so.

My reservation said we would be playing the Classic Course. When we checked in at the range I asked the starter if Classic Course is correct... he said yes. When we turned onto Coyote the gps was loudly ringing and telling us we were in the wrong place. A guy showed up and took care of that so that we could keep going. For $150 you'd think they might be somewhat organized.

Bev cart showed up on our second hole. Never saw her again. There are plenty of $70 to $80 dollar courses that have better customer service. I can't think of any reason to do that again.

Coyote 9

We only played the Coyote 9 - 9 hole course, very enjoyable. Staff was very accomodating. As we were playing the Coyote 9 course, there was not starter, so we walked up to the 1st tee and were off about 5 minutes ahead of schedule. We walked and the course was not very busy - so roughly 2 hours to play. There are some really great views and we saw some deer while we were playing. I didn't find the course difficult and all holes were reachable in regulation (8-10 hcp). I played with my wife and she was on for several pars herself. Definitely recommend for a quick relaxing 9.

Greens were patchy and there were workers all over the course working on them. Traps could use more sand. Pace of play was pretty slow - we waited on every hole. Beautiful & challenging course.

Breath Taking and Target Golf.

Play here every time in Tucson. The layout is terrific and tight. With most desert courses if your off target every shrub and cactus has thorns. So place those shots accurately. The mountains and elevation lays out a picture perfect golf experience. You will remember your round
