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.

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

Make the drive

My friends and I definitely want to go back. It's not in our put in a rotation rate though. But if you're are the same as us and look for a better course than the standard public this is worth money and drive to get there. The course is beautiful. It is set to be challenging but you can definitely score on it. We were a little disappointed it was still cart path only and had left out push carts. Ended up walking more.

Nice course but very slow pace

Very nice course. Nice layout. Some greens could have been in a better shape. Nice practice facilities. Friendly staff. Only bad thing was the pace of the play I.e. +5 hours.
