Golf Club of Estrella
About
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.

Course was in less than condition
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.
Poor Course conditions
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.
Not a great course
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@@
Course condition
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.
A lot to be desired
The fringe around the green was dead. Overall the course was in pretty bad shape. The greens were good and lightning fast
Condition
Fairways and around the greens were not in very good condition
Great Value!
The course was in good shape and was a lot of fun to play. Look forward to playing here more often.
Golf course play in Goodyear,Az
This is a pretty golf course set within the foothills of the beautiful Estrella community. I would say if your a beginner or novice this will be a tough course for you however if your a mid handicapper it’s a challenging and beautiful layout by Nicklaus Jr. the course was in very good condition did have some burned out areas and it was really wet they probably over water here in my opinion be prepared for a lot of mud on your golf ball and not a lot of roll. Greens ran very well I would consider them fast not a lot of break so you can make your putts here. I would definitely go back and play again. Prices for beers at $9-10 a beer pretty ridiculous they need to get a little more real here it’s still Goodyear not Scottsdale.
Mothers Day
Great course. Very friendly staff. Greens were great. All around great place.
One of the best courses on the West Valley
Estrella is one of the best courses west of Phoenix. The staff and course amenities are top notch. I’ve played this course many times and I always leave satisfied. It never has any pace of play issues and the course layout is phenomenal. Hole 17 and 18 are some of the prettiest views in Arizona.
One of my favs
Really like the course layout. Gets more challenging the further back you play. Pace was good for a Sunday and greens were smooth and medium fast pace, a few greens have trouble areas around the fringe. Overall a great time with great mountain views, and worth the hike out west.
Beautifully laid out course, needs some work.
First time at Estrella. Great facility and lay out but the collars of several of the green were fried. Bunkers did have some drainage issues. Overall I will play again but definitely need some TLC to be in par with Sterling Grove or the Verrado courses.
Course layout was challenging but not extremely difficult. Fast greens for me.
Great course
Starter/marshall met me before I could get to club to get my clubs, allowed me out a little early due to some open times. And then finisher was cleaning my clubs before I got off the 18th.. super friendly, helpful and possibly the BEST customer service I’ve seen yet!
Local knowledge
Greens were great, rolled true & fast. Course conditions could be better. Had great time phase of play was good.
Golfing in the old west!
This is the type of course you travel for. Stunning surroundings with an A plus course attached. Very fair course to play.. The fairways were fair targets Greens would hold a well hit shot. I loved playing there!
