Ce terrain est un zoo

Absolument le terrain le plus sauvage et désertique de Tucson.
Les conditions sont excellentes. Seulement quelques patch sur les abords de quelques verts.
On a rencontré beaucoup de chevreuils, cochons, road ruiner, Cotton tail.
Un must à Tucson

Outstanding Forced-Carry Golf!

What a track! If you don’t like the challenge of forced Carrie’s, pick somewhere else. Course conditions were outstanding, except they lost a star for the tee boxes. Not good, and several needed rolling to level out. But overall, a great day of golf! Can’t wait to go back.

This is a return visit, last time was 25 years ago. Fun to play, the Palmer course is a bit difficult to start at. Overall it was a good trip.

A golf course ? A zoo ?

So many animals, deer families with small kids, sooo cute.
Even a coyote was watching us.....
The course is in very good condition.
We play every year around this time and we will be back for sure.

Disappointed

Standing water in bunkers (how does this happen when it doesn’t rain?), water stations but no cups, many greens were rough around the edges (and yes, they did affect play), 4 1/2 round with the cart telling us we were 15-20 minutes behind schedule (yet we were constantly keeping up with the group ahead of us and never saw a ranger!). And in 18 holes we saw the beverage cart once.

For the price of admission, I think you could improve some things.

I’d rate this experience overall a 2.5.

There are better options for this price and lower.

Nice course

Greens are still pretty new but fair. Course is in great shape, cart path only that day. Starters need some work on welcoming their quests. Not helpful, didn't inquire just assumed. Directions were vague about where to play the 2nd nine. Felt like we were a necessary inconvenience to them.

Fresh winter rye grass

I love Starr Pass a gem of Southwest Tucson. Wonderful course layout, takes advantage of natural landscape, and had freshly reseeded winter rye.

Some awkwardness

The staff support at the start left something to be desired. I was paired up with another single, but go no instructions or direction as to which of the three nines we were supposed to tee off on. As it is we went to the one we thought we were supposed to be playing and turned out wrong and we had to backtrack and join up with another twosome on the third hole of a different nine.

On course amenities were so-so, water wasn't iced, bathrooms hard to find. On the whole, not up to expectations for a "resort course" experience.
