Golf Club of Estrella

Like the course very much. Two items need attention: 1) the greens were very slow 2) sand was almost non existent in green side traps.

Overall course was in great shape only complaint was sand traps. Some were hard or lacked Sand I know rain my be some of the cause but proper maintenance is also needed.

I love playing this track, but was very disappointed in the bunkers and greens. The bunkers are obviously not maintained and are full of stones and rocks. The greens could use some work - about 5 greens had a large patch of sand where the grass had died and old holes were not replaced well. The layout is great and the fairways were in fantastic shape. I’ll continue to return to Estrella, but definitely think the $140 green fee is overpriced for the current condition of the golf course

I have been coming to the valley for 10 years and have looked forward to playing Estrella the greens are always smooth and fast and bunkers always a challenge. But this year was a disappointment. The fairways were excellent condition, the greens a little bumpy but still ok however I was in 3 bunkers and everyone had almost no sand in the bottom. Got a deal to play but with bunkers in this shape not worth the price unless it’s a great deal. The prices have doubled thru covid and conditions deteriorated not good.

The bunkers and green are in rough condition, but the fairways are in good shape. Approx 5 greens had a large patch of sand on them and the bunkers are full of stones and are not well kept. Certainly not worth the $140 we paid to play here. I like this course, but I’d much rather spend my money elsewhere unless they make a better effort in taking care of the course.

Pace was incredibly slow. 5 hour round. Bunkers need sand. Great layout.

Played this course many times and have to say that the conditions for a troon course are slipping. Sand traps are concrete and the greens are in rough shape even for this time of year. Needs to be brought back to better conditions for the money they are asking

Great views and nice layout.

We played later in the day, course was in great condition. Only negative would be that some of the greens were slow and had a lot of pitch marks, again, we were a late tee time.

Would definitely recommend and play again.

We had a single ahead of us playing multiple balls for the hole round

The course starts out fairly easy but within a few holes, it snaps that idea out of your head. The speed of the greens are more challenging to read because of the grain. Their are some really wonderful, difficult holes. It was well worth the play.

The course is in rough condition. Every green is pitted out and the bunkers are equivalent to hardened clay. Played 3 other courses over the course of the week and this was the only one in bad shape and was also the most expensive which is a bad combo.

One of our Carts ended up dying on the back 9 and the staff was completely indifferent about the whole situation. One of them even said, “hopefully enough people complain so they finally fix the course”.

Would not recommend this course. By the far the worst Troon course I’ve played.

Hit the fairways and greens and course is great. Play smart golf and try to avoid the bunkers. Loved it. First time playing this course. Highly recommended.

What a layout.! So fun to play. Beautiful views. All but sand traps and some tee boxes in really good condition. Sand in traps is poor.

There was lots of rain the night before, so it was cartpath only throughout the entire course, which, in my opinion wasn’t necessary, should have use the 90° rule

Could not use any of the bunkers as they were all full of water

The rates should’ve been reduced for the course conditions Otherwise a beautiful setting

Course in good shape, staff great, pace of play great. Fairway great. Greens………bumpy and most had problem areas. If it were not for all the problem areas (bare dirt) I would have said nothing about bumpy greens due to the rain it had just received.. I would play again it just seems for that price things should be fairly close to great shape is all, just can’t put the 5 star

Scenic course, difficult and slow pace of play. Bunkers are very deep and basically hard pan . Warm up was awkward. Needed a shuttle to the driving range. Solid overall

Great course and very scenic surroundings.

Need a marshal to help pace of play at time.
