JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa

Palmer course has too many par 3's. Play Coyote/Rattler.

Loved the course layout. Windy stormy day even added to the fitfully playing it for the first time.

Greens were in great shape and challenging.

We rolled up to the 1st tee box and we see a pack of coyotes, not too concerning seeing native wildlife. Course was in great condition, weather was perfect. And the views are amazing. Course was challenging for us but still played it better than expected. The beer cart came by a few times so we always had opportunity for drinks and snacks. I would recommend this course to everyone that's willing to pay spend the extra money to play on a Troon course. In my opinion, it was worth it.

Top notch. Course is beautiful and in great condition. Staff friendly.

Have always loved the original 18 at Starr Pass good to great shape some wet trips but hey it had rained the night before. Great desert course 🌵with some spectacular views. 🌵⛳️🌵⛳️

This course rates up there with all the higher end courses in Tucson. People were friendly and accommodating. We had an exceptional experience at Starr Pass

Everything about the course, staff we dealt with, restaurant were very good. Problem was slow play by a group in front of us. Our cart GPS showed us 90 minutes behind the pace.

These were assumed to be displayed on all carts. I had an appointment 6 hours after my tee time, so I was forced to depart the course before finishing my round. I informed the departure staff about the situation, they were very sympathetic, but they informed me that they do not employ a course marshal and rely on the golfers to police the course.

One of the more difficult courses I've played.

No food or beverage other than at the start of the round at the little snack bar.

No starter?

What a treat to play this course. The views that surround this course are beautiful. Native cactus and vegetation all around with wildlife every where. The course was challenging but in a good way and it was in beautiful shape. The greens were just right for me. We played in less than fours hours and had a great lunch after. Do yourself a treat and play this course.

Beautiful course with great views of mountains and even some city views. Course is challenging, it's up in the mountains where wind is prevalent. You not only need to know your wedge numbers but need to be able to adjust them 10-20 yards for the win. Precision is needed with approach shots as pin placement left small target areas. Fairways are tight and if you miss them it's a penalty because it's all dense desert shrubs. Blind approach shots, blind tee shots, target golf.

The course is well watered, rough is cut short so it plays like hitting off the fairway. Rough is longer around the green, but not too thick. Bunkers need more sand. Tee boxes were flat, fairways were cut short with plenty of seed. Fringe was a bit long, putting onto the green would throw the ball in a specific direction. Greens were fast but not too firm.

Carts have GPS but screens are small. Pace alerts are on the screen, but didn't see a ranger all round. No water bottles provided, you are given (1) 9 oz plastic cup for the round that you can fill up every ~3 holes.

Value is absolutely there if you are good enough to play the layout. Good grass practice range. Good restaurant with view of 18 after the round. 10 min tee time intervals. Fighter jets flying over the course frequently.

Fantastic round, course in great condition. Played from the tips, so the tee boxes were untouched. Challenging but fair course. Pace of play was excellent.
