Scottsdale Country Club - The Roadrunner Course

After a while I got back to this GC. The price was attractive for a Monday morning round. Some fairways and tee-boxes are getting dry; the greens are in good condition.

This was our first time playing here. Course was in pretty good shape, especially for the beginning of summer golf here in AZ. I think the clubhouse could have had some more grab and go selections but had an amazing time on the course. You can tell they are doing some renovations to the course but cannot wait to go back and golf there again.

SOME OF THE TEE BOXES WERE N LESS THAN GOOD CONDITION

Fairways burnt out & tees not so good. Greens very average

Since the renovation they have added a lot of putting greens and a driving range but the course is absolute garbage. Started off without one cart guy helping, with three of them were sitting in two different carts. I asked them which cart is mine and they said whatever one I wanted without moving. I honestly shouldn't of paid and just went to the first tee no one would of noticed or cared. The course looks like it only gets watered a couple times a week, hardly any grass in the fairways, but the greens were in good shape. Pace of play was pretty good until we hit hole 7. Pace of play dramatically declined. It took us 93 minutes to play 7, 8, and 9 with not a single ranger on the whole course. Took 28 minutes from when we finished hole 8 to tee off on hole 9. While waiting for hole 9 to clear the cart girl finally showed up. She informed us this would be the last trip of the day. It was only 12:30pm and the course was full but not surprised another person around here who did not want to work. Finished 9 and drove up to 10 to see that the wait was already two foursomes deep. Decided to call it a day.

I can't believe this gem is 10 minutes from my house - I'll be here every day moving forward. I almost don't want to write a good review because I don't want more people to find out about it! The Driving Range is insanely good - Trackman that integrates w/ an app for free and easily was able to start recording my gaps and yardages. This is wild good! The course was beautiful, no one behind me, no one in front of me, the greens were perfect. I'll either hit the Driving Range daily or play 18. This is my new home.

Very friendly staff, tee boxes and greens in very good shape, fairways and rough areas had some bare spots but overall very playable. Definitely one worth exploring

There is a effort being made to bring this course back, but it's gonna take a couple more years. Good track with challenges. I hope they can afford to rehab this course,. I will try it again next year to see the progress. Thank you

First time playing since the name change, and it is a country club in name only. Nice layout and good price, but the rest needs a lot of work. The cart I was given had empty beverage cans in it from the previous user. The eight minute tee times created a very slow day, along with a large party a few groups ahead that were playing in fivesomes, eightsomes and once I saw 12 of them on the same hole! Tried three times to call the clubhouse to request some help with the delay/large group antics and could not get anyone to answer. Also, did not see a ranger on the course until the 12th hole where we waited about 20 minutes to tee off due to the delay. Every single trash bin on the course was overflowing with cans, bottles, lunch boxes, etc. The course conditions were very inconsistent, with some nice tee boxes, fairways and greens and others that were hit or miss as to having grass. I hope management has plans to be more proactive with pace of play and perhaps forgo a few greens fees with 9 or 10 minute tee times, along with continuing to improve the course conditions.

My son and I have played Starfire/Scottsdale Country Club many times over the years and enjoy it. I knew when I booked it the rate was great and that areation had begun. The couse was pretty messy in spots burnt out where areation plugs and watering made them muddy. Overall, other that the known fact going into the round, the course played good for conditions and greens were in good shape. The pace was awesome finishing in under 4 hours! We'll be back with the grass starts growing and the holes begin to heal. The changes at the range (covered and trackman) and putting area are great! Also, new outdoor coffee/lunch spot is very nice. They do need a path access or walking path back to club house rather than driving all the way around the putting greet to cart staging to get a mid round drink or food is the outdoor spot is closed like it will likely be most of the summer. All good changes though!!!

The course didn't notify me that only 9 holes were open, which isn't the worst thing in the world, except that they kept scheduling players every 8 minutes. That means, when players would come off #9, they would immediately be backed up my new groups starting on #1. This was a disaster, as there were also teenagers in FIVE-SOMES on the course. Pace of play was brutal--was waiting on the tee box at least 10 minutes every hole. I gave up after spending over two hours playing only the first 7 holes. Additionally, the course itself is horrible--beaten up everywhere. You can't call yourself a "country club" when you can't operate it properly.

Tee boxes were in good shape, pace of play was good. Greens were challenging.
