Tough but interesting
The Rattler 9 holes has a lot of target holes. Tough to get over. But over all the fairways, tees and greens in very good shape. Traps not so much.
Pace was slow but was due to the men we were paired with. A ranger would have been helpful. Drink cart came around once in 18 holes.
But over all a very good time!

Gorgeous course at a great price
This course offers beautiful views, plays at a pleasant pace, and is a great value compared to the higher prices that other courses charge in the area.
The great: beautiful elevated tee boxes, wide fairways, excellent conditions, true-rolling greens, inspiring desert+mountain scenery.
Carts feature a GPS to help you figure out the right shots, and the beverage cart come around often.
Where your mileage may vary: this course is not beginner-friendly, with most holes carrying over an obstacle on the tee shot, on the approach to the green, or more often than not, both. You've been warned!
If that doesn't scare you, go ahead and enjoy the course, it's definitely worth it!

Beautiful views target golf
Starr Pass plays in the hills and offers tremendous views from several holes. Course is in very good condition. Lots of carries over desert from the tees and at times for shots into greens making this course a challenge for many golfers and difficult for the high handicap golfer.

A Must Play Course in Tucson
I have now played Starr Pass 4 times. I believe it is a must play course whenever you are in Tucson. I enjoy the conditions (nice fairways and greens-fast). It is a "target" type course. It helps to hit the fairways or risk losing your ball in the desert. My course handicap was 11 and I play from the silver tees (Slope 128). I always enjoy playing here. And, it you're short on time the Coyote 9 holes is always an option to get in a 2 hour or little over round.
