Dubs Dread...a good place to play

The course was in great shape, greens especially. Pace of play was very slow due to a bachelor party having about 5 foresomes in front of us. All in all a great course to work on your skills.

Great Location and Value

The course by the card is rather short, but offers plenty of challenges to make up for it. Was out there wide open on a Monday, so who knows on a weekend.

Great course to work on your game.

Solid Course in need of a Marshall

The course is rather short, but in great shape! The only thing was a marshall/ranger to move the foursome in front of us along who played as if they were in the US Open...SLOW!

First Class Experience - It's The Stadium Course of course!

Well worth the money to play this legendary course. It was in fantastic shape from tees to greens. We were paired with a member who informed us they will be shutting down for 6-8 months to redo much of the course (I couldn't see the need for it). Nevertheless, it was truly enjoyable, but keep the pace of play.

Must Play Value

Not just for the value this time of year, but the amazing layout and excellent all around shape make this course a must play experience in the Tucson area.

Fun Course, Great Food

Probably falls into the category of fun/should play, but definitely requires some attention...a good Robert Trent Jones layout and the free meal (anything on the menu) was great quality.

Very Solid Course in Great Shape!

It is about the farthest north you can get in the Tucson area, but worth the drive. We had a great time playing. We decided to play best ball to practice up for the tournament season and finished -4, which won't win, but was solid for the first time any of us had played here. Cart service was on about every 5-6 holes. Other than the guy running the front desk seemingly taking his time on purpose (with our tee time rapidly approaching), this was a flawless adventure on a nice course.

Great Course...Bring Your A-Game

Starr Pass is excellent, though $215 for regular fees forget about that, too many other great courses in Tucson to play for cheaper like Quail Creek, Loews Ventana Canyon or Saddlebrook/Preserve. But, for the Golf Now price, very fun course to play. Get the guide book unless you have a lot of course knowledge here. We played Coyote and Rattler.

Don't let this course go!

The course definitely needs help, but is a great layout and really didn't play that bad all things considered. Not sure that the info out there is 100% correct that the course is scheduled to close...sounds like the decision isn't set in stone. They definitely didn't over-seed and and though the greens are a bit bumpy, they play rather consisten and the bumps don't affect the lines that much. It is a decent course to work on your target game.

Would love to see them save this and the tourney on the 5th of April needs all your support. This could be a fantastic public course again.

Preserve Golf Course

It really is a Preserve for Golf!!!

Well, what can I say, this is a course that would be worth playing for twice as much as we paid $46. Thanks GolfNow, this was a great time, plus it was my Birthday which made it even better. There were a lot of bunkers to contend with unless you carry 240-250, but still an excellent round.

27 Holes of Enjoyment

The course is in immaculate shape and is a enjoyable challenge. After 18 holes at lightning pace, 2 of our foursome had to check out the last 9 holes of the Quail course. $15 bucks later and another quick turn left us saying wow. Great course, great deal!!!

Nice layout on a fun course

SP is not a top end course, but it is a fun and decent course. The tee boxes need some work, the greens are in great shape and the fairways are finally being overseeded in the winter. GPS carts add a bit more of value for not a lot of money. The restaurant is pretty good too.

Glad to hear/see this course rebounding.

This is a pretty fun layout and a pretty decent course. From what I understand it had started to really fall off, like Arizona National unfortunately has, but it played rather well. My only gripe was that as a single I was forced to team up with a foursome, when I was trying to get a quick turnaround. Sadly, this lead to slow play as our foursome was put behind a very slow one and sadly in front of them it was wide open. I probably would have finished 18 under 3 hours.

Tin Cup Course...Nice!!!

It is a bit to the south, but well worth a trip. The course is really fun and I was able to play the last 9 (27 in total) for $19 bucks thanks to Golf Now. This is a must play course at least once. The Break All The Clubs in the Bag hole, followed by the "you're a pro, hit the 3 wood" holes are worth it, not to mention the island green with cows in the background. You won't be disappointed.

Cart Path Only Front 9 and HOT!!!

Great course. Was able to play alone and make some good time. Only problem was cart path only on the Front 9 at 104 degrees was rough, at least with where I was placing my shots. I definitely want to play the again and hit all the courses there I didn't get a chance to play...hopefully one day even The Gallery's 36 Holes (Private).

The Southern Dunes course was a great golf experience. If you are in the Ak-Chin area or even if you make a weekend Casino/Golf trip out of it.

Unfortunately this course went belly up. It really was in good shape. Granted it was in Benson, but was fun nevertheless. I would like to see this course brought back.

Go on, give er a go!

The course was in excellent shape and if you don't think you will get out to "The Old Course" anytime ever, let alone the rest of the British Open venues, then this is the course for you. It is a bit gimmicky, but so is Vegas in general.

Recommend if you are a tourist, rent a car for the day, even if from your hotel/casino because the cab ride alone will kill you.

Cheers mate!
