Nice!

Very nice track with exception of a few greens that were a little browned out. I would not hesitate to return!

Beautiful but difficult course

This is a spectaular looking course. It became even more difficult playing the front nine because it was cart path only, which we were not told in advance. Going back and forth on those hilly fairways was very difficult for our wives and they finally stopped playing after 6 holes. We would have done things differently had we known.

Conditions

Bunkers not raked. Way too many ball marks on greens ..no marshall seen . I believe the management could help with this .for the costs of the round ....educate customers throughout round ..a polite nudge on golf etiquette would help ..

Great course but very slow

Played Rattler/Canyon and it was fun except (and it’s a big except) that the round took 4 hours and 50 minutes. We did not see any rangers, and the course was clogged well beyond the group in front of us. This does not reflect on the course itself, but staff can do better keeping the pace of play moving.

On the plus side, there were deer present on a few holes, and they seemed pretty used to people.

Always a pleasure

It’s always a treat and a pleasure to play Starr Pass….. Rattler & Coyote this day.

Each time we play golf here, we also play “wildlife bingo,” we have seen hogs, coyotes, deer, hawks, snakes and even a bobcat. Let’s not forget the great challenge Starr Pass presents,

See you again SP!!

Nice course but...

Don't rent clubs or buy anything at the pro shop. Astronomical prices compared to green fees or the area.

Cart Path only

The person at the pro shop didn't indicate the course was deemed cart path only. I would have not played if I knew that fact. The staff was totally abhorrent in service. I was very shocked regarding this.
