Roadrunner at Starr Pass Golf Club

Roadrunner, carved into the dramatic Sonoran Desert landscape of Starr Pass, is a course where the spirit of risk and reward echoes through the canyons. Its challenging layout reflects the raw, untamed beauty of the Tucson Mountains, a stark contrast to the more manicured courses found elsewhere.

Designed by Arthur Hills, the course is a modern expression of desert golf. It demands strategic thinking as much as raw power. Fairways often narrow, guarded by arroyos and the ever-present saguaros. The course, while not hosting major championships, is a proving ground for local and regional players, testing their ability to navigate its demanding contours and elevation changes.

The club culture at Starr Pass, while encompassing all courses, is known for its vibrant, relaxed atmosphere. Many members relish post-round gatherings where stories of near misses and improbable birdies are shared. Roadrunner's allure lies in its unforgiving nature; a place where humility is quickly earned, and every par feels like a victory.
