Profile: Starr Pass is one of the premier desert golf courses in the
Tucson area. Starr Pass is located on the southwest side of
Tucson and is only 15 minutes from the Tucson Airport. The
views of the city below and the Santa Catalina Mountains north
of the city are a plenty!
This
Robert Cupp and Craig Stadler designed golf course winds through
valleys and arroyos and meanders among the bluffs of the Tucson
Mountains.
During
construction strict attention was paid to insure the natural
surroundings were disrupted as little as possible, and the
finished product is one of the Southwest's most inviting desert
golf experiences. When playing in the afternoon, you may see
many desert animals.
Starr
Pass hosted the PGA Tour's Tucson Open from 1987-1996. In
1996 the third hole was ranked the most difficult hole played
on the PGA Tour. As is the case at every course, playing the
correct set of tees will allow you to have an enjoyable day
on this very scenic golf course.
