Great conditions

Grass in excellent shape. Greens soft and the ball stopped pronto which I’m not used to being a high handicappper. Course full but people moved along. Saw 25 or 30 deer close up. Grass on fringe of Coyote course was long and greens very slow

Shot maker course

A lot of blind shots off tee because of over growth so makes it hard to get good visual. Although 4 cart guys at the start, both sand bottles were empty, and no cart guys at the end(4:30pm). No food available because restaurant was closed. Saw drink cart on 2nd hole and that was it.

Where's The Clubhouse

Signage locating clubhouse did not exist. I finally saw someone driving a golf cart on an area street and ask for directions to clubhouse. The clubhouse attendant was aloof and totally disinteresting in checking me in and directing me to the starter. When I did find the first tee and starter, he was friendly and helpful. When I finished my round at 3:30, I went back to clubhouse and asked for the restaurant/bar. Oh, it's closed, sorry. That was the end of my golf experience at Starr Pass.

Slow "Marriott experience" round

No rangers due to wanting a "Marriott experience". If that experience is stupidly slow play then kudos to Marriott! Course is difficult for ladies and shorter hitters due to forced carries and narrow landing areas. Greens were true and fairly good pace. Some dead areas in fairways but you can always move it from there. Just too slow of a pace...won't be back.

Great condition

Course is in fantastic condition. It would be even better if people would fix their ball marks on the greens and fix them correctly. Great bent grass greens otherwise.
