local knowledge is a big plus

We were put on the 9 hole walking course with carts for our front 9 after paying for the full 18. The pace was a little slow and packed on the first tee box the group in front teed off late and the group behind us was waiting for us to go. Nothing too bad we were in a good zone but when we found a good pace and good spacing by hole 3 another gentleman skipped in front of us. This created so much more Backup we and the group behind us ended up waiting every hole for 15 mins no matter how slow we went. When we got to hole 11 3 hours and 20 mins in we couldnt take anymore and went home.

Lots of target golf to blind spots. Lots of local knowledge needed. Very wind dependent. Not enjoyable

Starr Pass always provides an enjoyable round of golf. Nits - couple of holes have some awkward layouts (odd distances & carries) and the greens are getting hard now so they don't hold shots. That's OK the approaches allow you to run the ball up but if there's a guarding bunker the greens should be watered to make them a little more receptive. But altogether it's a great place to play a round of golf .. Recommended.

Was the best kept course we played during the week. Pricey, but well worth the time and money. Bring your "A" game for sure. Great course!

Usually pace of play is good here. However, we made it thru hole 15 and were at 4 hours. Waited every hole. We quit after 15 holes and when we commented on the slow play at cart return, the reply was “ma’am this is a resort course, it’s always slow”. We let them know that has not been our experience, and again, he said “it’s always slow.”Instead of 3 people hanging out at cart return, there should be a ranger out there.
