Style Desert
Par 72
Length 7139 yards
Slope 137
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.

Nice local option !

My son and I opted to book around during his quick trip to town. We didn't want to waste a bunch of time driving to the other side of the valley and found a convenient tee time at Estrella. The course was nice. Tee time and pace of play were accurate and right on point. We will definitely play here again if the option is available.

Course still in good shape, greens are always true.

Course hasn't changed much.

Some dry spots in areas but never affected play.

Always a good time.

Home Course

As this is my home course, I don’t want to sound bias because it isn’t always “up to par” yesterday was by far the best round I’ve had here. Pace of play was spot on. The course was in fantastic shape. Thank you everyone for a great time.

Friendly Staff

Everyone there from the guy who greeted me to the beverage cart operator, was extremely friendly. We did unfortunately get behind a group of young men who slowed us down considerably. This is just bad luck and can happen anytime, anywhere, so not a knock on Estrella. In fact, there was a marshal that day who tried his best to hurry them along. I don’t recall the overall length of our round, but it wasn’t horrible.
