Golf Club of Estrella

Only play in the very early morning during summer here in the Valley.

I was met at the cart drop off by a young lady who was very friendly and explain to me where the practice range was as well as how to get to the 1st. Tee. She instructed me where the clubhouse was and that was a very good first impression. The course itself was in excellent condition for this time of year. I would recommend this course to anyone who hasn’t played it!

I actually really liked this course was extremely inexpensive for the area. Had no one rushing me. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend this to any golfer, novice , advanced or beginner.

Course had some bad spots, but very few, and overall the course was in great shape. Staff is always fantastic and the value for dollar is the best around.

I've played Estrella a number of times and have always had an excellent experience.

From the time we dropped off our bags, to the end of the round, the entire staff were great.

In the pro shop, the pro was friendly and welcoming.

The starter was engaging and gave us insight on how the course was playing, and where we might find some difficulty.

During our round, there were frequent stops by the beverage cart girl, so there was never an issue getting drinks and staying hydrated.

The course conditions were excellent, even in the 105+ heat. The greens were extremely fast and rolled true. Greens fees of $53.00 for a Troon operated course is a great value.

This time of year, playing early is highly recommended.

Thanks again for an enjoyable round.

This is a fantastic layout! The conditions are very good, transitioning to summer. The greens are still quite fast. The bunkers needs some work, but I understand that is currently in process. Outside staff (Mark) is the best!

Staff was courteous and helpful; course conditions were challenging for me as a 14 hdc. It was a hot and windy day, and I struggled with club selection both ways. Oh, and the bunkers were like cement but, I'll chalk it up to water conservation efforts. Enjoyed the outing otherwise and will play as often as time permits.

My son and I played here for the first time. First off, the staff was very courteous. The starter was very friendly and informative. He gave a great presentation on how to play the course and some great advice about how to handle the desert if you found it.

The course itself was challenging. The fairways are pretty generous so if you can keep it on the grass you can do well. If you find the desert that’s where it can bring you down. For the first time player who may spray the ball a bit I recommend you pack some extra balls. Still, even though I visited the desert more times than I would have liked to I still enjoyed the day. The Golf Club of Estrella is on our courses to play list.

Took my dad for a Father’s Day round. Course conditions were excellent. Challenging course with generous fairways. Greens were fast and challenging. Bunkers were rock hard and not in great shape, this is my only complaint. Staff was great on and off the course. Stayed for a beer after the round. Very little seating in the bar area but a good time otherwise.

I am a resident of Estrella Mountain and live along the5th hole. so I monitor the condition of the course. The course is in excellent condition at this time. We played early enough that the heat was tolerable. Greens were running a little fast but manageable. Overall, it was a good round. The only blemish perhaps is our experience with the starter. When we arrived, we were told by the friendly personnel upfront that we had the option of going off earlier since it wasn’t busy. When we reported to the 1st tee, the starter was not so friendly visibly showing his annoyance. we tried to explain that we were told upfront that we can tee off earlier than our appointed time. Eventually he relented but not after showing his displeasure. Been playing this course since we moved up here in 2005. Always had a great experience except for this last round.

As always, Golf Club of Estrella was an enjoyable round of golf. Course conditions are always nice and the layout is superb. Being early summer the pace was great. The only negative with the condition is the bunkers and the hard desert dirt and lack of real sand. Greens rolled decent and fairways were in good shape.

#7 Needs to be at 150-160y for Silver tees. It was 180y when I've played it several times.

#14 is a good hole, but nearly impossible from Silver at 190-200y. I move up on this one hole to Copper because it is too far for Silver.

I don't see Irons being used from here by Silver tee golfers. Some use a driver here, but have no problems playing the rest of the course at Silver tees. Hmmm

It looked like they had just punched the course. Greens were fast but fun to play. Totally worth the money just hard when it’s getting hot in phx.
