Great condition

Played this course several times this year and it was in best yet condition. Pace of play was 4.5 hours, which is expected given the spring breakers who have rusty games. Foursome in front of us hit two balls every tee until called out by our foursome on 9th hole. Of course, no ranger to be found. Foursome behind us hit drives that rolled into our group several times. They were not playing from the proper tees. It sees like there is always an issue when I play this course, but I still recommend it.

Star Fire Golf Course

Very enjoyable round. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were good. Tee boxes were very hard. Difficult to get tee into the ground.

Definetly would play again.

In a word: Fantastic!

Had an early tee time and expected 2 other golfers. But, since we got to the tee early and it was open, the starter let my wife and I go off early! We had brief waits on the tee box for the group(s) in front of us, but we played 18 holes in under 4 hours! The course is in terrific shape, and the layout is challenging (water and bunkers) on a number of holes, but suitable for golfers of all abilities (except, maybe, beginners). All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. This has come my favorite course in Scottsdale!

Good day all around

We played the following courses the last week:

-Desert Forrest (Private)

-Camelback

-Starfire

Starfire staff was great, the course conditions were superb. I’m not a big fan of houses being all around the course and so close to play. That said, it was only an issue on a few holes and mainly on the back nine. I would definitely play it again though the staff and conditions would absolutely bring me back.

Great staff!

Travis is pro shop was wonderful helping out with a tee time issue. Beverage cart gal super friendly 👍 Course is in great condition ... ido feel like it's a bit pricey for the course. That said, I think golf in Scottsdale has gotten CRAZY! Would love if they did a Back 9 and breakfast like Stonecreek.

Green pastures

Wonderful fairways where ball sits up nice. Very open. Distances are very reasonable making it easier to reach the greens in regulation. Par fives can be birdie possibilities. Putting tough as greens are very slow. So be aggressive. Staff helpful and super friendly.
