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.

Great cousrse

This a great course and clubhouse staff was awesome. Would love to play it again.

The only downfall was a starter that was very unprofessional. Made the start of our round very unpleasant for us and the 2 other golfers that got paired with us..

This is my home course as I live a few blocks away. I try to play here as often as possible. The course is one of the best layouts in the area and is usually in top shape. It is a real value when you can get a tee off discount. Would recommend this course to anyone looking to play in this area

Confusing

I’m one of those golfers that doesn’t have a gps. There were no distance markers on the course and the sprinkler heads when you could find them em were grown over and unreadable without getting on your hands and knees and even then not clear.

A course like this ought to have gps on the carts. If you don’t have a range finder I would advise not playing here.

Excellent Course…

Excellent course with a great layout. Tee times spaced out so the pace of play is great. Only downfall was that it was path only. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for that. Fairways were in excellent shape and were definitely good to go for carts.

Pace was brutally slow. Tee time was 12:52 and we finished the front 9 at 3:40. Ended up playing the front 9 twice otherwise would have only got about 14 holes in.

Great spot

This is a must play, great course layout and course condition is alway really good. Played behind a group that was really slow, the Marshall talked to them at least three times and they did pickup the pace on the back 9.
