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.

Estrella Golf Course

The staff from the men at the bag drop location to the pro shop and the rangers are the gold standard for a golf course! Everyone was unbelievably pleasant and efficient! I normally do not take the time to write a review however, they definitely deserve a great one!

Good shape

Estrella was in good shape. Greens fast and firm. Grainy in front of punching season but that’s Bermuda for ya. Everything else was fine fairways good. The bunkers are full of rocks so that could be improved.

Expected a bit more from a troon course

Played lots of troon courses - this ones average - lots of beat up areas entering fairways etc that make me wonder about the price charged but it is what it is. Staff was extremely friendly so kudos to everyone there! Too many rocks in the bunkers too. So I would say they take the 50 bucks over what the price should be and first get the bunkers with no rocks then work on the little things around tee off boxes and fairway entry spots and bobs your uncle

Great day at Estrella

Got a great "hot deal" thru golfnow. Course was in great shape, liked the layout, very much desert golf. It's a bit out of the way but worth the drive.

Really nice well kept course.

The staff we met were really helpful and friendly. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were really good as well for the most part.

Would definitely play there again.

Course is in great condition

Greens are good

Bunkers need more sand. Very inconsistent sand depth.

Great Course

We had a twilight tee time and arrived early. The staff at check-in bumped up our tee time because there was earlier open tee times. This allowed us for sure to complete 18 holes.

A lot of bunkers around the greens. Overall a great challenging course.

Great

Went out with my dad for a twilight 18 and only waited on two holes. Pace of play was great and the ranger was extremely friendly. Course was in beautiful shape for a public course. Easily one of the nicest public courses I have played. Great landscape and beautiful views. Would definitely recommend in the afternoon the only thing I can say is that the price is a little steep in the morning.
