Walked

Walked the coyote 9. Wonderful course but tough to walk.

We walked the course and enjoyed it but its hilly. Course was in perfect condition! 5 stars. Very scenic. Lots of wildlife.

Amazing course with great care taken for playability

I’m not the wealthiest person in the world, but when I pay for an experience like this it does make me feel that way. The staff was amazing, the off course amenities were placed and maintained with great attention to detail. The course itself was gorgeous, and very well kept. And to top it all off there was so much natural desert wildlife enjoying themselves on and off the course.

Birdie’s Matched

Course is in excellent condition. 3 hr 20 min round. Challenging layout, a few blind shots. Wildlife: roadrunners, coyotes and deer (no rattlers spotted).

Emphasis on golf

Played mid day, no waiting. Conditions good, bunkers excellent, green complex’s a bit soft, but greens were just right firm. Speedy but not unfair.

They’ve painted some fairways but doesn’t effect play. Staff is accommodating (not overly outgoing). No 1st tee starter (as in the past) so cut backs apparent. Drink cart prices on the high side. Didn’t go inside for post round activities.

No major wildlife sightings, usually an attraction.

Good golf worth the extra price, works to be a bit “toney” but no oppressively so. A fun day overall.

Good Tucson course

Among the best courses in Tucson. The "walking nine" is my favorite although the championship 18 ( with cart) is stellar...

Afternoon Round at Starr Pass

Two of decided to make a last minute drive from Cave Creek to Tucson for a round of golf. The only other time I played Starr Pass we got rained out. I was looking forward to experiencing it again, and I was not disappointed. The course is extremely challenging, the layout is beautiful, and it was very fast play.
