The Club at Starr Pass - Pioneer/Palmer

Conditions were decent for October but the rest is a mess. Cart girls were shorting us on drinks, gave us a candy bar that was soaking wet and covered in ants. Seemingly made up prices too, the 2nd cart girl charged far more than the first and split a shot bottle between two drinks but still charged us for 2 shots.

Golf pro and cart jockeys were unhelpful and seemed confused as well. Pace of play was shockingly bad for a weekday too, only managed 13 holes in 3.5 hours before they demanded the carts come back half an hour before sunset.

Definitely would rather play Dove Mountain or Tucson National for the price. If Starr Pass cut their prices by 20% and went for the "luxury on a budget" price scale it would make a lot more sense.

I've played many times and love the challenge but one things seems to be consistent and that's the staff is pretty bad. I normally shake it off but this time I had to share my experience. I booked a 1:40 got there early went to the 1st tee to see if I could go early. Ken I believe his name was was very rude by saying no, I asked why since the 1st hole was wide open. He stated there was on the other side of the hill which wasn't true - anyhow they called me up because another single was going off and wanted to play with someone. We ended up playing fast and not once did I see anyone in front of us and I could see 2 holes ahead at times. I just don't understand why he needs to be rude and lie. Staging area has room to improve if they want to earn tips. I tip $5 min every time if someone approaches me but the past few times they just stand around the shaded area and could care less to earn some extra money. Overall the course is nice and beautiful views just staff needs to be more friendly.

The views of the city and mountains were great. Unfortunately the staff’s deference to the Sunday men sang player 4:30 pace of play detracted from the overall experience.

I have played Starr Pass 8-10 times over the years. A nice course but a very disappointing experience. Staff acted indifferent, like they were doing me a favor( except starter Ed).

Pro shop couldn’t change money so bag drop went without a tip.

Restaurant/snack bar closed, this was lunch time!

Ticket from pro shop misprinted both my tee time and starting nine( 27 holes)

GPS kept shutting down my cart well before I got to the sign to exit to path.

Ed the starter offered me a complimentary round but when I tried to collect after my frustrating round they said they couldn’t give me a physical pass and since I had a limited time in town I wasn’t free to book on the spot, so I just left.

Nice course but staffing is a problem if you want a pleasant day.

Starr Pass continues to deliver with breathtaking views everywhere you look. The course delivers a challenging round of golf sprinkled with wild life throughout the course. A must-do if you are in the area.

Grass in excellent shape. Greens soft and the ball stopped pronto which I’m not used to being a high handicappper. Course full but people moved along. Saw 25 or 30 deer close up. Grass on fringe of Coyote course was long and greens very slow
