The Club at Starr Pass Named New Distinguished Golf Destination with Elite Status

BoardRoom magazine, in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide, has named The Club at Starr Pass a Distinguished Golf Destination with an ELITE Designation, The Hallmark of Excellence for a golf course. 

This merit-based designation recognizes exceptional golf courses that exceed expectations in the quality of service and amenities, facilities, and most importantly the teamwork of the staff and management. 

“Excellence is not an act but a habit, and The Club at Starr Pass has made excellence a habit in every aspect of their facility,” said John Fornaro, publisher and co-founder of BoardRoom. “Congratulations to David Loomis and his entire team on their remarkable achievement in demonstrating exceptional governance, providing an outstanding golf experience, and maintaining high-quality facilities. Your hard work and commitment have truly set a benchmark for others to follow, and exemplifies what a Distinguished Golf Destination is.”  

Developed by industry leaders, BoardRoommagazine and Forbes Travel Guide, the Distinguished Golf Destinations designation is the most prestigious and valuable accolade a resort, semi-private, daily-fee or public golf course can achieve.  The Distinguished Golf Destinations program is not a popularity contest where industry insiders simply decide who makes the cut behind the scenes.  Instead, Distinguished Golf Destination status is earned through a process where every aspect of your facilities, course(s), and operation are evaluated against the most important of all measures: Golf Experience.

“This honor belongs to our team. Their care shows up in every round, every meal, and every interaction with our members and guests, and it confirms we are taking The Club at Starr Pass in the right direction. We will keep investing in the Club and the experience we deliver, and we are proud to help remind golfers that Tucson, with its deep golf history, has long been one of the country’s premier golf destinations,” said David Loomis, general manager of The Club at Starr Pass.

Owned by Southwest Value Partners, The Club at Starr Pass and JW Marriott Starr Pass continue to evolve as a desert destination where membership and stays are not simply accommodated, but thoughtfully experienced; where refined simplicity, nature, and a strong sense of place come together.
