Starr Pass Golf Club
Designed
by Robert Cupp and Craig Stadler with PGA Tour action in mind, Starr
Pass Golf Club is a commanding desert-style layout whose subtle
strategies are easier to understand once you’ve played it
a time or two and whose beauty invites you back to do so. Delicately
routed through rocky crags, cacti of all shapes and sizes, and treacherous
ravines and arroyos, the real beauty of this popular layout is best
seen from the protection of the fairway and the cart paths. In fact,
those would be the guiding words for any golfer at Starr Pass -if
you don’t see green grass, don’t hit it there. For the
gambler who wants to carry a wash or ravine, it’s a clear
cut example of risk/reward; the odds for a better score favor patience
and placement.
Once the brief home of the PGA Tour in Tucson, Starr Pass now plays host
to many of the local tournaments and events, whose organizers are looking
for a fair challenge for all players and a well run event. The views of
the 18th green below the clubhouse, framed by the expanse of the Tucson
Valley and surrounding mountains, offer a stunning backdrop during lunch
for your foursome or a full tournament field. The well stocked pro-shop
has everything you need in logo merchandise, equipment, lessons, and sun
protection. Accommodations are available in the form of 65 1,300 square
foot casita-style lodging units, only a short stroll from the first tee.
Situated only minutes from downtown Tucson, the airport, and the freeway,
Starr Pass is close to wherever you come from or are going to. Set back
into the mountains and surrounding Sonoran Desert, Starr Pass offers a
truly unique desert golf experience on one of the finest maintained golf
courses in Southern Arizona.
