Starr Pass Resort |
|
|
 |
|
|
A round of golf here takes you through desert washes,
over mountain passes, and into box canyons. The experience will be one
to remember. "Starr Pass" is the local name of the niche in the Tucson
Mountains that this dynamic course occupies. The desert-stadium designed
course was by Robert Cupp and utilizes existing desert terrain to create
natural hazards and showcases nature's handiwork. This results in
contrasts of lush, manicured green grass set against dark porous rock
and cactus. The tight fairways favor a straight shot. Each hole has four
different tee boxes, allowing the player to select a longer or shorter
course, depending on the level of experience or bravery. Many hole
designs allow the selection of an iron shot or a shorter wood off the
tee. Located in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains on
the city's west side, The facility includes a full-service clubhouse
with dining facilities, a locker room, and a pro shop. The course
conditions, featuring bent-grass greens, are maintained to PGA tour
standards yearround. Flowing in harmony with the desert terrain, Starr
Pass is labeled both fair and difficult by players. Number 15 is the
signature hole where hitting through a narrow pass on a 325-yard, par 4
appears simple, but look out! Play the course the pros played, and be
treated to superior service. |
