Golf Club of Estrella

The greens were bare in many places. The bunkers lacked any sand to speak of and I found it better to chip than blast out of them.

The tee boxes were a mess, the fairways were dried out and the worst were the collars/fringe. HORRIBLE. Most of the greens were in good shape, bunkers were rough, hard pan and shaggy lips. Luckily we only payed $41, anything more than that would have been a wasted day.

The Golf Club of Estrella is situated on an amazing property with wonderful mountain views and lots of wildlife, including adorable precocious ground squirrels that might just come right up to you. Estrella is also ideal habitat for rattlesnakes, so be sure to bring a club with you should you decide to look for balls under those desert bushes. Layout is very challenging and scenically very complimentary to the surroundings. Staff are professional, proactive and courteous. A top-notch all-around facility for playing and enjoying the beautiful Estrella surroundings.

Hot weather early in the year destroyed their grass. It's a beautiful course and a great layout but the conditions are not great right now. Most of the greens are in good shape luckily but around the greens is atrocious.

If you want to experience the layout it's a good time to play because of the minimal fees, just expect to move your ball around to the grassy parts.

I wish they would just shut down for a few weeks and really let the grass grow back, but it's a great bang for your buck deal right now!

This course is a wonderful challenge. Great layout and scenic as can be. But right now the grass is rough and I can't recommend playing here. Hopefully they will get it back into shape and then it's a hidden gem again.

Absolutely terrible! Tee box suck not a green or level surface! Fairways are the softest conditions ever! Fringe is mud! Would not go back and there is no warning of the things they are trying to do! Junior national is in better condition!

The course was in very poor condition from tee to green. Most of the tee boxes were dead or dying. The fairways were thin and crusty. They were surprisingly soft in some dead/thin areas and hard in others. Nearly all of the aprons around the greens were crusty and painted green. The greens themselves were the weirdest part nothing putted true at all. Most of the greens were lightning fast while a few were relatively slow in comparison absolutely no consistency between greens. The plastic cups for the holes were barely below the surface so if you putt had any speed at all coming in the ball would hit the plastic and bounce or turn at the hole. The cup should be lower in the ground so it does effect the ball. Every single sand trap was just hard packed dirt or a mud puddle. There was no sand in them at all. Just a bunch of ditches on the course. The absolute worse part was the three some which turned the entire day into a nearly 5 hour round. There were rangers on the course but they did not once attempt to speed up these players who were clearly causing a log jam behind them. Really the only thing good about this place was the staff. (not the rangers who did nothing to keep pace.) I really wish we knew about the course conditions before we booked as we would have gone elsewhere.

Muddy, areas plugged and burned out around greens. It was nothing like I had heard from others. If it was in better condition it would be a good course to play regularly.

Wait staff on and off course was great.

This was the worst I had seen Estrella. Being a Troon course tbh is was very disappointing as the fairways were not green. Around the greens were all black and dead dirt.

Tee boxes on 80% of the tees were bare,

No signage for visiting golfers, ready to get lost.

Cart stops working if you get too close to natural vegetation but no warning signs.

Bunkers were hard and quite a few very wet.

Range area was just like the tee boxes, should have been a warning.

Comfort stations were locked. No key and no combination lock!

Food was greasy.

Definitely a course that Troon golf have forgotten they manage.

Won't be back@@

The course was muddy from being drenched trying to bring the burnt grass back. This is the worst I have ever seen this course. It's normally a beautiful course. Normally worth the money. This time it was awful. From tee boxes to greens. For being an upper level $$$ course, it should be shut down for a few weeks until brought back into the condition it is known for.
