Upscale with very cool views

Range balls included. Large practice putting greens. Multiple tee boxes give ample room to determine best play style for your abilities. Beverage cart hit us up a couple of times which was great.

Course is awesome!!

Came out on a day trip with some buddies from phoenix. The course was in great shape and the greens were pure! Todo layouts is amazing. We got put on the gambler/palmer and had a blast with the challenging layout. Best part were the starters and pro shop. The starters Herb and Randy make you feel like they’ve know you forever! You can tell they love what they do. The pro shop is also stacked with a nice collection of goodies. Even some Sunday Red in there! Would 100% play here again haven’t had this much fun at a course all year!

July Afternoon at Starr Pass

Played Gambler/Pioneer nines on a late afternoon weekday round. Weather was hot followed by cloudy cooler conditions. Both nines have come out of summer transition nicely. Fairways and aprons are nice, with just a few remaining thin areas. Greens rolled well but were very firm, and only held the most well struck shots. The staff at Starr Pass is what makes this course a must play. They are fantastic.

Impressed first time experience

It was my birthday and buddy bought me a round of golf here. I looked up online and it looked decent but in person it’s on another level. Middle of July and the course is green and well maintained. Staff were younger men but all friendly and respectful. The course it’s self was narrow, a tough course for a beginner like myself but a great challenge to slow down and focus. The pace was smooth, no one behind us or in front of us that made us feel rushed. We had a group of 3 and went out at 1020am. They have 27 holes and after the 18 they offered a complimentary 9. First 9 was the Gambler and the back 9 was Pioneer. We did the complimentary 9 but only Gambler was available at that time. So I’m not sure what the other 9 is called or what it looks like. On Gambler and Pioneer we saw our fair share of wildlife to include, a mother coyotes and her 2 cubs, quail and their little chicks as well, a deer near the tee box, and a few bunny rabbits. Overall, I was impressed with the whole outting. Complimentary range was well. Golf cart was a top line golf cart, with customs seats and a large screen for navigation and course layout. My buddy paid $60 total per player, which is a fair price for a course this beautiful and well ran. Great Job, Starr Pass.

My favorite course in Tucson

The course was in fantastic condition, especially for late June . It is challenging but fair layout. The staff and amenities were excellent. Driving range , bottled water on ice and even a towel were included. I will be back before long. I highly recommend giving it a try.

A good challenge

One of my "go to" courses in the Tucson area. It is a course that is challenging in a good way. A desert course that is a cut above just target golf. I figure on losing a couple of golf balls during each round. Plus, I don't recommend hunting for them in the unforgiving desert terrain.

The course is maintained in good shape even in the heat of the summer. There are jugs of water filled each morning with ice water. The carts have a small cooler with a couple of small bottles of water.
