The stunning JW Marriott Starr Pass Tucson Resort and Spa is nestled against the saguaro-covered foothills of Tucson Mountain Park, blending seamlessly into its tranquil yet animated mountaintop setting, as natural as the surrounding desert itself. The Tucson Mountains are full of massive saguaro cacti. The saguaro has become an icon of the desert, with its distinctive tall trunk and numerous curved arms that branch upward.
With spectacular views, exciting activities for the entire family, and a landscape laced with nature trails throughout for hiking and biking, you’ll make memories that will last a lifetime. Immerse yourself in our AAA Four-Diamond luxury golf resort in Tucson.

Golf JW Marriott Resort & Spa: The Resort is less than a mile from Starr Pass Golf Club, a 27-hole Arnold Palmer Signature Golf facility with a double-loaded driving range, rejuvenating 20,000-square-foot clubhouse and top-quality golf shop. Perfect your game on Roadrunner, Rattler, or Coyote Course, while admiring the backdrop of natural mountain ranges. The Starr Pass Golf Club legend began more than 120 years ago when Richard Starr crafted a trail through the rugged wilderness of the Tucson Mountains. Today, Coyote’s sixth fairway marks this trail and has earned the honor of being the signature hole at Starr Pass. The Starr Pass Golf Club site was personally selected by PGA Tour Commissioner Dean Beaman. When he saw the site for the first time, he was instantly inspired by the natural beauty and rugged terrain. With the help of renowned golf course designer Bob Cupp and PGA Tour professional Craig Stadler, they created a world-class TPC golf facility.
Other Attractions: Discover the beauty of the Tucson Mountains and nearby sightseeing with shopping in local and quaint streets of Tucson. If you are of the adventurous type, explore on horseback, by jeep, mountain bikes, or even hot air balloon. The city of Tucson also has a wide array of shopping and dining. From shopping malls to unique local flavor boutiques, you will find what you need or didn’t even know you wanted. Take some time during your resort experience to head into downtown Tucson, which offers galleries, shopping,
and art experiences.
