Stardust Golf Course at Sun City West

Stardust is an executive course. That means there are zero par-5 holes, 6 par-4s, and 12 par-3s. But don't let that fool you; there are some tough holes. But more on that in a minute.

This course is walkable (I did). Also, it is roomy for an executive course built into a neighborhood. There were some strategic places to miss.

The course was dry because they were getting ready to shut down for overseeding. But not extremely so. The greens were still in pretty good shape, if a little hard to hold. There is water on several holes, but it wasn't too penal. The bunkers were in good condition, too. Finally, there was discernable rough, but it wasn't at all penal.

The layout was straight-forward with little to offer in terms of challenging shots or decisions regarding which line to take. The greens weren't particularly small, but they were difficult to get at sometimes--raised, with little opportunity to run the ball up. That's too bad because....

There were some looong holes. Two or three par-3s over 200 yards, at least two par-4s over 400 yards, and a lot of other yardage in-between. Running it on the green was difficult. And there were only a few par-3s calling for a wedge.

I want to play it again when it recovers from overseeding. I'd like to see it with the greens with water.

The clubhouse was tiny--one room where half was the snack bar and half was the golf shop. Seating indoors and out. The course was packed with people, almost all of whom were retired and older than me, and I'm 64! But everyone was friendly and most seemed to know each other.

Yeah, I'll be back.

I’ve never played here before, but what a nice little course this is. The layout is really fun and the course is in outstanding shape. The fairways have mounding and undulations all over and there are certainly challenges on this course. It has a lot of par 3s, being an executive course, but it’s not a pitch and putt. I played from the tips and there are 4 par 3s over 200 yards, including one at 225 yards. The par 4s are also decent length, with all of the well over 300 yards, including 385, 389 and 400 yards. This was a good find, although it might be hard to get on once the snowbirds all come back. This has to be one of the best executive courses in the valley, certainly in the west valley.

I literally have nothing negative to say about this course Other than the $16 cart. Just seems a bit steep especially since there’s a ride along fee as well. Otherwise, great executive course and I will be back.

Beautiful course and well taken care of however the golfcart rental far overshadows the course. Due to the heat we decided to rent a golfcart rather than walk and being charged $16 per rider to rent a golfcart is ridiculous. The most I have ever paid was $12 in prime season, most of the time it is $6 or included. The golfcart fee is enough for me to never place Stardust again.

A fun executive course. Most of the holes are straight forward. A couple of the fairways were a little wet in spots but not terrible. Friendly staff. Pace of play was excellent.

Got to the course about 50 minutes before our tee time and it took almost 45 minutes to check us in. the manager finally gets involved 30 minutes later and has the audacity to say “You’re really checking in 15 minutes before your tee time?”

I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THIS EXECUTIVE COURSE. THE LAYOUT AND COURSE CONDITIONS WERE VERY GOOD. GREENS ARE SMALL AND TOUGH, BUT IN GREAT SHAPE. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GO OFF AS A TWOSOME RIGHT BEHIND THE MENS LEAGUE PLAY, BUT THE STARTER SENT US OFF 10 TO IMPROVE OUR PACE OF PLAY. THAT WAS REALLY THOUGHTFUL AND WE APPRECIATED IT. GOT AROUND 18 IN A LITTLE OVER 2 HOURS. WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK.

This course was great for being an executive 18 hole course. My issue was I brought my own golf cart and was told I couldn’t drive it after they acknowledged my cart when I paid and said I was good to go. Approaching the first tee they then told me and the other guest that we had to consolidate into one cart even though they were both personal carts. No reason for this and total inconvenience.

Most executive courses are pitch and putt. This course will have you rethinking what an executive course should be! Contours and undulation of the greens provided a good challenge. The greens were also small, which played into some accurracy needed. Some serious length on a few par 3s to get your attention. Conditions were great and I will certainly be back!

Got in at 4:22 , had the pleasure of playing with 2 other gentleman who were from the area , got through 14 holes and the conditions were great! Definitely recommend

Perfect day to golf and the staff was helpful and welcoming!

Mature trees well positioned around tees and greens, challenging undulations on and around greens, great sand in traps, fairways, tee boxes (level) and greens in excellent shape ... fast and roll true. The management obviously take great pride in the facilities ... will certainly play again. Four par 3's over 200 yards!
