Tucson Starr Pass golf course review
Independent tips for the professional at Leisure
February 2009
|
The Starr Pass golf course is remarkably challenging.
The course hotel is a Marriott (not dog friendly), so we stayed at the
Tucson El Conquistador
resort and drove over to Starr Pass.

Starr
Pass is a challenging course by any standard, and even a scratch golfer
will find it challenging.
If you want to have a nice day, leave
the score card alone and enjoy the scenic views and fun shots!

The turf looks artificial, and you can see the green dye marks on
the edges of the fairways. The course is very fast, and the
fairways are like glass, with tons of roll.
|
The most famous hole at Starr Pass
is #6 on the Coyote course, the site of the original stagecoach run
through the mountain pass.
It has a tight opening (center) and if
your drive can blast through the narrow fairway it opens up into a
gorgeous approach area with an elevated green. |
