It’s obvious the course can get the rate they are charging but I don’t think it is a good value

Mulligan 9 is lots of fun
Played twice and had a great time. Not super busy but kept at a steady pace. Some par 4's and fun water holes

Fun Executive Course
It is a fun executive/Par 3 course with 1 Par 4 hole. Somewhat slow play but understandable as it is designed for beginners and casual golfers.

Nice but a little pricey
Nice layout and conditions but a little pricey for a 1500 yard short 9 hole course. I think I paid about the same at Pebble Beach. Pace was slow which isn't a surprise as many players are beginners. We especially liked the 2 flags per hole with the larger cup option and the many tees for various skill levels. I played the back tees and it was a challenge.

Best Public Course in Scottsdale
I absolutely love playing Starfire. From the beautiful green grass to top notch greens this course is a dream. Staff couldn’t be more congenial. This rates 5 stars. Can’t wait to return.
