Rainout

We had a tee time of 150pm we were coming from Mesa I called earlier to verify that due to the forecast of rain if the course would be open, I was told that it would stay open regardless I asked if I was to cxl would I still be charged full. I was told yes I would! So we made the trip and sure enough we had rain from the first hole on we continue to play until the 9th hole since we’re there n had driven an hour n half but the rain just keep falling harder n harder until it was invariable to play. We were given 50% of our fees back which is a nice gesture but we could have avoided all that if I would have been allowed to cxl due to the elements.

Starr Pass Winter Holf

We play a different course every week. This course is in the best shape of any in Pima County. Everything was excellent except the “dynamic pricing “ when we wanted to add players and found that their rate was $25 more than what the other 8 of us were paying even though there were plenty of tee times with less than 24 hours to go. Tee sheet was lightly filled all day.

Worth every penny

The course is as good as advertised. If you have the opportunity to play, take it. It did not disappoint.

Star Pass Problems

Nice old course Extremely up and down. numerous blind shots Carry over desert on almost every tee shot. Numerous wash/desert areas across fairways Greens very nice but extremely fast with steep slopes. Lots of break difficult to see. Staff very friendly and nice. Would be almost impossible for older golfers to walk due to hills and distance between holes. Major irritant was golf carts GPS telling us minutes behind although no other golfers were in sight in front or behind us. Another problem(and this is the reason I would not play here again) carts quit running on a number of holes and forced us to back up although we were not anywhere near greens. there were no signs marking no cart areas on any hole.the view was very nice on most holes

Day After Christmas

Course was in great shape and staff helpful and friendly. Suggestions, 10:40am teet-ime and no food available also, the driving range actually hiits onto 2 fairways, dangerous, and annoying, hence the course layout rating..
