JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa

Practice greens much faster than actually greens.
Nice layout, nothing worth the winter prices, but it seems the clientele have money to burn. I’d play it again, but no t that memorable.

Played this former PGA Tour course for under $100. Try finding that on a quality desert course in Scottsdale! Tucson generally has the best bang for your buck in Arizona. And Starr Pass is another example.
Greens were tour speed. Measured 12-13 on my stimpmeter and rolled true. Great course conditions. Layout is challenging and fun. Nice facilities at the clubhouse. Good grass practice range and putting green matched those on the course.
Pace of play could vary due to the difficulty of the course. Especially the first time you play it and aren't sure of your aim lines off the tee.

Very enjoyable round. Course and facilities were excellent. Ate in bar restaurant and the food was very good. Need some help with TV channels though.

These courses (27 holes) are first-rate. If you can snag a decent rate, you can have it all. Range balls, cart and great golf. Coyote is the most picturesque, Rattler has the best layout and Palmer is the most penal, at least for me because my miss is left...uh-oh.

While this course is very hilly most of the fairways and greens are somewhat forgiving. The course staff were all very helpful and accommodating. The course was busy but not overcrowded and we played in a little under 4 hours. Very good experience and would definitely do it again.

Course is very challenging, with forced carries; be sure to play the correct tees.
