Rating 73.0

Golf Club of Estrella is the very first golf course on a daily-fee basis to be designed by Jack Nicklaus II in Phoenix, where it makes its home in the master-planned community Estrella, and offers 18 holes of par-72 championship golf over 7,102 unique yards. The many tests of the golf course will impress every level of golfer - though a choice of tee sets ensures no one will get in over his or her head. Desert and wash spaces require golfers to vary their shots while they take in vistas from the fairways shaped to the contour of the land and framed in the Sierra Estrella Mountains.

A round of golf at the Golf Club Estrella kicks off on Morning Star, a par 4 that measures 359 yards from the black tees. If you stick to the black tees, you'll need to conserve your energy for The Arroyo, the 16th hole, a par 5 that measures 605 yards. After that, Evening Star, the 18th hole, will be a relative breeze, at par 4 and just 437 yards from the black teees.

Once the round of golf at the Golf Club of Estrella is over, head back to the Player's Grill Restaurant for American pub fare and Southwestern snacks.

Hidden Gem

From arrival and thru the 19th hole the experience was top notch, very professional and friendly staff. Course was very scenic and player friendly with generous fairways. The only negative is the bunkers need a lot of work sand was sparse and lots of rocks would rate the whole experience a 9 out of 10 due the the bunkers

Good course

Even on the cart path only, due to overseeding, the course played relatively fast. Course is in great shape, greens hold and are very fast and true to read.

Troon course

The course was in terrific condition minus some gravel in the bunkers. Bunkers need to have sand added or to be sifted. Overall when you are playing a Troon course, this is what you expect to be playing.

Dormant burmuda

Came to course today with no knowledge that they had scarfed the fairways preparing for winter overseed. Would be nice to close the course to do this when they close for overseed.

Great Course sqeezing in last round Monday overseedin

Great course a lot of people play the wrong tees. It plays much longer than you think. Greens good shape squeeze in one more round. Before they oversee on Monday staff. Great Straight in the Fair ways are just fine. GOT MORE DISTANCE BECAUSE ball rolls out.
Monday start overfeeding will miss playing for a few weeks.
