The Club at Starr Pass – Twinkling Anew By Danny and Alice Scott Expansions and renovations are complete at The Club at Starr Pass in Tucson, and the results are stunning. The new clubhouse is spacious and modern from the refreshed locker rooms to the fully equipped, 3,000-square-foot golf shop.
Grand Reopening of The Club at Starr Pass
At the Grand Reopening press conference, Membership Director Sydney Bryan, unveiled the club’s new logo: a star above a roadrunner. This emblem plays tribute to Richard Starr, the pioneer who blazed a stagecoach trail in 1884, a century before the club opened.
Redesign of The Golf Courses (Pioneer, Gambler, Palmer)
His original pass ran directly through what is now the sixth fairway of the former Coyote nine-hole course, which has been renamed Pioneer in his honor. The former Rattler nine has been rechristened Gambler, fitting for its daring layout (with the occasional rattlesnake reminder still in the desert).
Preservation Efforts and Milestones
The Palmer nine, designed by Arnie himself in 2005 was refreshed with the others this year, but its legendary name remains unchanged. All 27 holes are now in pristine condition, featuring firm new greens, redefined bunkers, and an abundance of roadrunners darting between fairways while javelinas play hide and seek in the brush.
Back to the Future Themed Reopening Party
To mark the milestone, and in synch with the movie’s 40th anniversary, Back to the Future was the theme for the members and VIPs reopening party. Guests arrived dressed in their favourite decade’s fashion to mingle through the ribbon cutting, and sip and savor the new concoctions from Creosote — Sonoran Kitchen & Cocktails.
Anticipation for the Return of the PGA TOUR
History may repeat itself when the PGA TOUR returns in December 2025. Starr Pass will host Stage 2 of PGA TOUR Q-School, where the next generation of golfers will compete for their shot at TOUR status and another golf star could emerge.
