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.

Fun course no management pace
The course is great. Conditions were good but 5 hours and 20 minutes is unacceptable and the rangers reason was it was busy. That’s a really poor reason. It’s his job to manage pace of play and he obviously sucks at it. Won’t play a mid day round there again.
5 hour round !!! All about the money I guess…!
Greeting unfriendly… waiting too long at holes, sometimes 10 minutes. 3 groups on a tee box. Not too good. Spoke with Marshall and asked why the delay. His response was “ well we got 200 golfers out here today “ I said why didn’t you spread out the tee times more. Not a good answer to our group. All sand traps were unplayable! Course was really wet over watered. Our tee time was 11:15.
They need to re-think their policies and let paying golfers know by email or text when course conditions are this bad.
Probably not play here again as too many other better courses in Phoenix.
Regards, Wayne
Cart path
When a course is too wet and requires cart paths only customers should be compensated in some form. Senior golfers find it difficult to walk as much as you need to on this course. The hefty price charged for the golf doesn’t include all the walking.
Solid course in good condition
Course was in fine shape. Great layout and excellent finishing holes
Nice course but very slow play
We have been to this course several times before. We found this experience a little dissatisfied due to the slow pace of play. Course marshals were on course but did not encourage slower players to speed up.
Course conditioner was good and course layout is great. Staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.
Course was in good a shape and as I understand the cart paths only will end at Thanksgiving Greens were quick as usual, fairways and bunkers
we’re well maintained and the pace of play was good. Yes I did go into a few bunkers andcthey were also well kept. Once again I had a quick pace of play on a beautiful course. It’s one of my must play courses in the Valley. and
Nice course give it a try
When I am in the Phoenix area I generally play here 1-2 times
Generally in good condition.
Just been open for about 10 days since overseed
Cart path only
Pace wasn’t bad 4:00 on the head
Fairways good
Greens rolled true at a good pace
Bunkers and tee boxes could use a little tlc
