Located on the western outskirts of Tucson, the JW Marriott Starr Pass Golf Club is home to 27 holes of visually stunning desert golf. The golf club is part of the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa, a luxury oasis tucked in a mountain pass that back in the 1800s was utilized by a stagecoach line. The golf club designates the Rattler and Roadrunner courses, which run right by the resort hotel, as its standard, championship 18-hole routing, while the Coyote Course is the resort s 9-hole option. All three courses wind through a stunning landscape of rock, cacti, and arroyos and present classic Arizona desert target golf. Precipitous elevation changes and strong winds add to the drama and challenge as the Catalina Mountains form a backdrop. Though Arnold Palmer gets credit for designing the three nines here, Palmer mixed in nine new holes in 2003 and merely touched up the original 18 holes that opened in 1986 at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Golf Club. Bob Cupp originally built those strikingly attractive, original desert holes (the Coyote Course and a hybrid of the Rattler and Roadrunner courses) to top professional standards. Soon after it debuted, Starr Pass Golf Club enjoyed a run as host of the PGA Tour s Tucson Open. In 1991 Phil Mickelson famously won here as an amateur while he was a student at Arizona State University. You ll find some spectacular holes at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Golf Club. Rattler s 3rd and 5th holes were among the hardest on the PGA tour when the world s best pros played here. The Coyote Course is a favorite at Starr Pass because it exists in its own realm well away from the resort complex. Towering saguaro are all around. To add to the enjoyment, walking is permitted on the Coyote Course. You ll feel like you are communing with raw nature in the desert. Indeed, the JW Marriott Starr Pass Golf Club is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. After the round, the Catalina Barbecue Co. & Sports Bar is a great spot to kick back and sample the fare at one or Arizona s most notable 19th-hole restaurants. It s yet another reason why you ll enjoy your tee time at the acclaimed JW Marriott Starr Pass Golf Club.
