Need some rain.

The course was very dry. Greens were good but fairways were struggling. The remodeling of the club house impacts the whole experience. Temporary restrooms were less than pleasant. Looking forward to the course and clubhouse getting back to normal.

Challenging and beautiful course

This course has wonderful views. The holes are all very creative and challenging. It requires excellent ball control to avoid hazards and missing the often tight fairways.

Great Golf Experience

play more than 50 courses each year. I decided to drive to Tucson, after playing a couple of new tracks in Sedona. I took advantage of a GolfNow special on a Tuesday afternoon and played Rattler and Coyote. The course exceeded my expectations. This was probably the best overall golf experience Ive had since Palm Springs. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were immaculate. But the design, topography and scenery were mind blowing. Nearly every hole was worth photographing. The abundance of wildlife only enhanced the overall enjoyment.

Mixed Experience

Starter Randall is exceptionally positive, approachable, and helpful.

“Rattler” fairways and greens are in excellent condition.

Spectacular vistas.

Wildlife everywhere this time of year. Unbelievable, actually.

Some tee boxes are a mess. Driving range stations have little grass. Disruption of Pro Shop and the dining room during renovations will disappoint anyone familiar with the previous facility … and will probably infuriate anyone vacationing at Starr Pass for the golf experience.

Starter on my date was exceptionally positive and helpful.

Fabulous views and course design.

Greens are in great condition.

Fairways need work.

Driving range needs attention, too.

Always enjoy the course

The only thing that didn’t work this time was I needed to grab a bite. The food truck needs better organization. The club house credit card terminal needs to work !

Great Course Best Bunkers in Tucson

They have done a lot of work on the course. Player just 9 holes on Coyote and it continues to improve. Bunkers had new soft sand. Greens ran true and fairways were in great condition. Played in an hour so no problem with pace of play. Staff at the pro shop were very friendly. A trailer for now as they renovate the clubhouse. The course keeps improving. Play the Coyote Rattler combo as the Plamer is a bit funky. I wish they still had the silver/gold combo on the scorecard. That’s a nice distance. Silver is a bit short and gold can be a bear on a couple of the holes. We used to rotate Starr Pass with Arizona National but this is much better level of service, great practice facilities and way better conditions. For the same price or often more at AZ National, this is far better value.
