Scottsdale Country Club - The Championship Course

Have played many times ...the pace of play was brutal 2hr 40 mins for front ..quit after 9

We are in Scottsdale for some sun and golf. Starfire is the 4th track we played. The price is lower than so many other courses, the grass is actually green as opposed to dyed (what's with that at other courses?!), and while it isn't a masterpiece, it was a fun round. The pro shop staff were friendly and the starter was really sweet. The course is surrounded by homes and is a parkland layout. It's not a long course but I see that as a positive, especially for women, as the forward fees measure just over 4000 yards. There is a lot of water that comes in to play. There are also a lot of bunkers, but the good news is there's actually sand in them. We didn't stay after for food or a drink so I can't comment on that.

Grass on greens not smooth. Slow and ball rolls poorly.

Frustrating to follow. Often we’re a hole behind and seemed to diddle along. Marshal was not really helpful, but friendly.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed the practice range, the mulligan, par 3 course and had a great time on the king course. The course was in good shape, green’s were tricky (sloped) but ran true. Great course for the price.

Overall, the course was pretty good crowded week with the waste management open so everybody jacked their rates it seems. There are better courses in the Scottsdale area.

The course charges too much and now added a 4% water fee! That’s ridiculous!!!

This was a nice, straightforward course that was significantly cheaper than others in the Scottsdale area. We had no pace of play issues until the last four holes or so, so still finished in under four hours. Not an immaculate course - tee boxes a little chewed up, for example, but was definitely enjoyable. Surprisingly, a lot of water to contend with - for less experienced golfers, that could add to the frustration level.
