JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa

TREATED GREAT FROM OPENING THE CAR DOOR TO CLOSING IT. VERY SCENIC COURSE, DEFINITELY TARGET GOLF.

Course conditions all around solid.

Two greens had 3 or 4 foot square repairs on then but that’s a good thing. They’re staying on top of their greens.

I’ll play there again.

We had just arrived from Illinois - very eager to play. Got a 2:00 tee time. Sunset a few minutes after 6:00. Very fast play. So we finished in well under 4 hours.

Two negatives: Lots of deep ball marks on the greens and very little sand in bunkers. ALSO: access to restrooms between Rattler and Roadrunner is difficult and time consuming Since we had players right behind us, we kept going. But if you really needed the stop…..would be a problem.

Always fun to play this course on this beautiful site. Conditions of turf and particularly bunkers disappointing for a course of this price and caliber.

Very nice experience. Would play there again!!

Very nice course., links golf with large landing zones and greens

Good layout that accommodates all skill levels with great views of the desert and city.

Very tough! Lots of huge waste areas to hit over in front of most greens on the Rattler nine and cart path only on 5 out of nine holes. The Roadrunner was not as hard and could take cart out on all holes but par threes. Sand traps didn’t have a lot of sand and had many rocks.

course was fun to play. must hit it straight. greens were undulated. green speed around 10. smooth putting surfaces.

PACE OF PLAY WAS TERRIBLE. NOT A COURSE FOR AVERAGE PLAYERS

Our starter was friendly and informative. The check in staff was unfriendly and distant.

Starr Pass is in exceptional condition with fast true greens and lush over seeded fairways and tees. The course is built in and around the mountains. The views are amazing and the well designed holes present many challenges off the tee as well as into the greens. I highly recommend the course and the partner JW Marriott resort as well. Hit em well!

It’s a tough course to play for the first time due to the number of blind shots or carries over desert that are tough to figure out off the tee. Course and range in very good condition. Pace of play was very good. Tough course to score on until you play it a few times. Definitely recommend!

First time on this course. I played the Coyote 9 (I think) and $30 price was very reasonable for this high quality course. If you’re a first timer, make sure you take a map and stay on designated course. There are several and have overlapping points. I think I accidentally ended up on a different course since my 9 hole course ended over a mile from the clubhouse but it was a nice walk back.

Second time around makes a difference there are blind shots, fast greens and holes where you cannot hit driver, all in all a great test, staff courteous and practice range in good shape as well. Will be back

Nice course, well kept. Greens were reasonably good.. need to be straight because there is not much chance of hitting out of the desert rough. Over all A rating, would play again.

Hadn’t played Starr Pass for a few years so it was a treat & a test to play it again.

Lots of forced carries from all t boxes, many blind shots so having played previously should be an advantage-but not if you’re not on your game!

Greens are tricky to read but they as well as the whole course is in excellent winter play condition.

One tip: bring lots of balks & enjoy the scenery:)
