Golfer Reviews
Decent
Not in great shape if you're not on the fairway. Friendly staff.
Great Course for everyday
I play Starfire about 2-3 times a month. I rarely have any complaints about the quality of the grounds, or services. The staff are friendly and the place is pretty consistent overall. If they are running deals or low rates, it can sometimes get a bit crowded, especially because it is in the middle of Scottsdale, surrounded by much pricier courses. However, the Marshalls will do their best to keep a good pace. I will continue to play this course frequently and suggest it to anyone looking for a quality round for $80-$120.
Love it!
I’ve played 50 times. It’s amazing and fun and never gets old.
go anywhere else
For $90 a person should get GPS on the cart, not here. No rangers after 1st hole, 5 hrs with 90 degree rule - incredibly slow. Beer was $5 so that was a plus.
Always a disaster.
I had hope once this course changed hands that the new owners would do a better job of running what could be a decent golf course. Improbably,, the new ownership is actually worse than the previous group of morons.
My TeeTime was at 8:38. I knew it was going to be bad when I got to the first tee and they were 20 deep standing around. If you’re looking to pay $135 for a course in terrible condition and you enjoy six hour rounds, Starfire is your go to.
Copy and Pasting excuses doesn’t improve your course
The condescending message the owners are plastering on every well deserved negative review honestly just make this look so much worse and full of excuses. Was it the weeding that causes the floating dead fish and rats in the water hazards? Was it the Bermuda grass that had trash and sprinkled on multiple greens and fairways and dead birds on the green? Was it the seeding that caused the beverage cart to not have a card reader for 2 months? Zero accountability for terrible course management and still the worst $70 I spent this summer. QUIT MAKING EXCUSES AND DO BETTER.
Cool layout, tough conditions
Nice layout and staff were super nice. With that being said, the course is in a rough condition and the pace wasn’t the best.
I did hear that the course was bought out and in plans to renew it. It was under construction even while I played. I plan to visit in the next 18-24 months..
SUPER ROUGH SHAPE
First time playing here and I was super disappointed. Super rough shape. Greens were good. Tee boxes were super hard need a drill to tee up. For the price of $72 plus tax to play here I would not so many cheap better courses this time of year. Hopefully they can fix but I will not be coming back for a very long time.
Not Worth The Price Of Admission
Extremely bad conditions: dirt and mud everywhere for the past 2 months, No ranger to move folks along = extremely slow pace of play. Cart girl not on holes we played = not good customer service. Price at $35 = not worth half that amount to play there. I just read that they owners want to make the course into housing. Don't waste your money = go play at Camelback or Silverado where they take care of their courses!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your experience at Starfire didn’t meet your expectations.
Your comments about the beverage cart and speed of play we do take seriously and we will continue to improve in those areas.
We understand your concerns, particularly regarding the overall course presentation.
Please know that we are actively working on improving the course conditions as part of a larger plan that will be rolled out over the next few seasons. Our team is committed to elevating the quality of play and ensuring that every part of the course—from tee to green—reflects the standards our guests expect and deserve.
We truly appreciate your patience and hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the future as these improvements take shape.
Sincerely,
The Starfire Golf Team

Terrible
Walked up carrying my bag, cart guy was spreading something on a bagel, said someone over there will help you.(???) Put bag on cart myself.
Walking into pro-shop, guy's walking out, waited until he came back after not acknowledging me.
Course and environment is dead, worst course conditions I've ever played (all summer). After the round cart guy wanted to fight.
Been playing there with my wife, friends and family since 2011, last round was today shredding my summer pass.
Course is in terrible condition and the energy equally drab.
Will take advice from other reviews and spend our money elsewhere. I emailed Travis but followed up with no response needed after reading a ton of reviews that mirror our recent experience.
A lesson in customer service is a must and maybe I should be training for a boxing match instead working on my swing 😀
TOTAL DOG TRACK
Thank you for playing Starfire Golf Club!
We recognize the hospitality of our team can make our golfers' experience.
We can proudly say our team makes Starfire a fun place to play and work.
It looks like we missed an opportunity with your group, however.
We will review our hospitality standards with the team to lessen the chance of this reoccurring.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Starfire soon!

Yep: Just learned that the new owners plan to make some of the holes into housing. Not surprising that they let the course get so bad. Better golfing can be had at Papago, Silverado, Orange Tree and Talking Stick.
