Palmer Course

Designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer, this nine combines signature shot views with panoramic vistas. Wide fairways and bold green complexes capture the spirit of desert golf at its finest.

Roadrunner Course

Founded 120 years ago when Richard Starr blazed a trail through the Tucson Mountains, Starr Pass is home to our resort, our golf school and our three nine-hole golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer. Coyote's sixth fairway marks Mr. Starr's trail and is distinguished today as the signature hole at Starr Pass Golf Club.

The Starr Pass Golf Club site was personally selected by PGA Tour Commissioner Dean Beaman. When he saw the site for the first time, he was instantly inspired by the natural beauty and rugged terrain. With the help of renowned golf course designer Bob Cupp and PGA Tour professional Craig Stadler, they created a world-class TPC golf facility.

Starr Pass Golf Club hosted the annual Tucson Open between 1987 and 1996. During that time, the third (#3 Rattler) and fifth holes (#5 Rattler) were rated two of the most difficult on the PGA Tour, with the average score for 18 holes ranking among the highest on tour as well.

A true dessert course, natural elements are used as hazards while showcasing majestic vistas of the Catalina Mountains. Legends such as Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Payne Stewart, and Nancy Lopez have carved their way through this historic golf course.

Phil Mickelson’s PGA Wins at Starr Pass

Starr Pass has origins dating back to 1884, when Richard Starr established a stagecoach trail through the Tucson Mountains — this trail, linking Tucson to the mining boomtown Quijotoa about 70 miles to the southwest, follows what is now the 6th fairway of the Pioneer Course. The golf course officially opened in 1986, with its original 18 holes designed by Craig Stadler and Bob Cupp; those holes are now known as the Pioneer and Gambler courses. Starting in 1987, Starr Pass hosted the Tucson Open (a PGA Tour event) for several years, through 1996. Notably, in 1991, a young amateur Phil Mickelson won the Tucson Open here — a rare amateur victory. 

In 2005, Arnold Palmer designed an additional 9‐hole course, commonly called the “Palmer 9”, expanding Starr Pass from 18 to 27 holes.

Pioneer Course

Enjoy golf in Tucson, AZ, in a very serene and quiet area where you are likely to see wildlife wandering about in their natural habitat. This stretch of holes just might afford you the delightful company of jackrabbits, quail, or deer. (3,512 yards)
