The golf club attached to the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort totally won me over. The course, designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, was from 1987 to 1996 the venue of the Tucson Open, a PGA Tour tournament. When I checked in, the friendly ladies in the Pro Shop warned me about the rattlesnakes, which were particularly dangerous during mating season. Unfortunately, they forgot to warn me about the difficulty of the course, with average scores among the highest on the PGA Tour. I didn't see any rattlesnakes, nor did I see many of my golf balls.
