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.

Slow

Pace of play is painfully slow. I know this is a problem industry wide, but in the afternoon at 110° and standing 10-20 minutes on every tee box is dumb. Walked off at the 4th hole and passed stacks of people all the way to the clubhouse.

You won’t be disappointed.

Unbeatable value. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Range balls included. Ice, ball and club cleaner, towels, and tees in the cart. Flat tee boxes. Manicured fairways. Perfect greens. A challenge on every hole. Beautiful scenery. If you haven’t been to this course yet, just go. Thank me later.

Friendly Staff and Great Course Layout

First time playing here and had a great time! Friendly staff very helpful and the course was in great condition. Great views and a fun layout. Condition of the course was great tee boxes to fairways to greens all played great. One thing that could use some work were the bunkers but I totally understand there are so many to maintain!

Great Value in the Summer

Course is in really good condition for the summer, and was able to get a great price. It's typically too pricey for me to play in cooler weather, so summer is my chance to visit.

The greens were a little sandy, but that's just part of necessary care for the course. It has to be done sometime.

The layout of this course is fun, and course management decisions come in to play on a few holes to avoid waste areas between you and the pin. It's plenty challenging.

Great course

Was very impressed. Fairways were lush. Greens were a little slow due massive rain th night before. Bunkers were water logged and some turned into water hazards, but not the courses fault. Cart path only made for a bit longer round but did not diminish my experience. Oils love to play again!! Staff were friendly, approachable and professional.

Nice course however

Needs some signage on the course. First time playing and got misdirected on a few holes. Cart signs would also help, carts auto stop but we were, what seemed like plenty far from the greens and carts stopped. Cart signs were on the 18th hole only.
