Tucson, Ariz. (August 19, 2025) – The Club at Starr Pass is celebrating the grand opening of Creosote – Sonoran Kitchen & Cocktails, a vibrant new restaurant concept that celebrates the bold flavors, colors, and ingredients of the Sonoran region, and the opening of its newly renovated clubhouse, marking a dynamic new chapter in the Club’s legacy of premier dining, golf, elevated hospitality, and Sonoran lifestyle.
Creosote – Sonoran Kitchen & Cocktails is led by an inventive culinary team that brings a fresh, modern approach to local cuisine in a setting that reflects the natural beauty of the Tucson landscape. Open to the public for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Monday (closed on Tuesdays), Creosote features dynamic lunch and dinner menus crafted with heritage ingredients, bold desert flavors, and a deep respect for the land. With a focus on sustainability, seasonality, and scratch cooking methods, dishes blend New Sonoran cuisine with a modern American twist. Reservations are recommended but not required.
At the heart of the Club’s revitalized clubhouse is a stunning 3,000-square-foot golf shop, reimagined with a sleek modern design and curated with top-tier golf and lifestyle brands. From the latest in performance equipment to apparel and accessories from today’s top brands, the new golf shop sets a new standard for golf retail in Southern Arizona.
Guests and members are welcomed into the clubhouse through the new Lobby Lounge, a warm and inviting space that blends desert-inspired style with a relaxed, social atmosphere – perfect for meetups and casual gatherings. The clubhouse renovation also includes refreshed locker rooms, designed with comfort and convenience for both ladies and gentlemen of Starr Pass.
In addition to the new and refreshed amenities, the Club is revamping its membership offerings with a vibrant golf and social calendar, bringing energy to the Starr Pass and creating more ways for members to connect on and off the course.
Meanwhile, on the golf course, the greens renovation project is progressing on schedule on the Pioneer and Gambler nine-hole courses with the introduction of TifEagle Bermuda grass, a high-performance surface that ensures exceptional putting conditions. The Pioneer and Gambler nines are set to reopen on September 1, just in time for cooler temperatures. The Club’s Palmer nine-hole course remains open for guests to enjoy throughout the summer.
This December, The Club at Starr Pass will proudly host Stage 2 of PGA TOUR Q-School, bringing elite competition back to a property with deep PGA TOUR roots. Once a TOUR stop, the club now continues its legacy by playing a role in shaping future stars on the path to the PGA TOUR.
“This renovation is more than just a refresh, it’s a full-circle moment,” said The Club at Starr Pass’ General Manager David Loomis. “We’re honoring our PGA TOUR history while creating a modern, welcoming space for our members, guests, and future champions.”
