Starr Pass Country Club & Spa features 27 holes of Arnold Palmer Signature Golf.

What's best about the golf at Starr Pass is that it's a true Sonoran desert golf experience. The course winds its way through the mountains and arroyos with the opportunity to experience the best of golf and desert wildlife.

We know you'll thoroughly enjoy our 27 holes as they were designed to challenge players of all abilities. What's more, the names of our three nines are indicative of the wildlife you may experience here at Starr Pass ... The Roadrunner, The Coyote and The Rattler.

The Rattler The longest of the three nines at Starr Pass Country Club & Spa begins with a stunning view of the city and surrounding mountain ranges. You will play over natural arroyos while enjoying the scenic beauty of true desert golf. Hole #5 is one to remember. This demanding Par 5 with a split fairway will leave you very pleased if you are lucky enough to earn your par here.

The Roadrunner These nine holes begin just steps outside of the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa and offer unsurpassed views of the entire facility. With dramatic elevation changes and the swirling winds created by the Tucson Mountains, these nine holes will truly test players of all levels. Hole #3 offers an amazing view of the resort, city and surrounding mountains; however, be alert, this Par 3 plays severely downhill. You would be well advised to select your club very carefully.

The Coyote These nine holes will take you through a very serene and quiet area of the golf course. You will quite likely see more wildlife on this stretch of holes including jackrabbits, quails or possibly even a local family of deer. Hole #6 is the Signature hole in the Coyote Nine. This Par 4 offers a risk/reward option from the tee. With a large outcropping of natural rock in the landing area, a decision must be made whether to lay up from in front of the outcropping or drive past it, which will leave a much shorter approach shot to the green.

Practice Facility Sharpen your skills on our 33,000 square foot driving range and 10,000 square foot practice green, featuring a complete short-game complex with bunker and pitching areas.

Characteristics:   Starr Pass is recognized by both professionals and amateurs as one of the top courses in the country. Starr Pass played host to the PGA Tours Tucson Open from 1987-1996.  Number 3 was ranked the most difficult hole on the PGA tour in 1996. A beautiful challenge awaits you.
