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.

Shot my record score here today!

Everything was in beautiful shape today! The greens were receiving and putts were rolling true probally around an 8 speed or so. I highly recommend this course and after shooting my career best 81, will definitely be back.

Everything great, except the bunkers

There is approximately 1/4 ' of sand in many of the bunkers, club bottoms out immediately, you have no chance of making a decent bunker shot. For a club that does such a good job of managing the facility, good tee boxes, good fairways, good greens, it was disappointing that the bunkers had so little sand in them.

Great Course

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were exceptional. Sand Traps need work. But, overall a great experience.
