Good Value

Course was in good shape. Teed off at 220 and was able to complete 18 in 4 hours. Will play again.

Over priced

Great course I play it a lot but I don't like the fact that they have raised the prices everywhere in Phoenix. They're taking advantage of all the bachelor parties that come to Scottsdale that go and play golf. What they're doing is hurting the residents of Phoenix by charging us more money to play. I've reported this to the the governor, and Consumer Affairs department. This is blatant price gouging and needs to be dealt with

Tee Boxes were filled with sand

More than half of the tee boxes were filled with sand and we couldn’t stick a tee in the grass. Tee boxes were beat up! Hot dogs were not good and buns fell apart

January Golf

Enjoyed the round. As a first timer there I thought the signage to the First and 10th hole could be much better. Fairways were fine but tee box and greens were rock hard. Had to pound tee in and greens didn’t hold wedge shots. No ball marks, so no repairs needed 😁. Noticed there’s a 4% water fee. So I’d suggest also watering tee boxes and greens.

Tee boxes were very rough and hard, while greens ran well. Some fairways were thin.

another good round at starfire

another good round

Pin placement on #1 was ridiculous

always enjoy the golf course but for the second time we had a couple of twosomes behind us

It jus makes it uncomfortable when you seemed pushed because they are right behind you. we played in 4 hours which a good clip but having someone come close to hitting into you a number of times because they are frustrated is annoying to a group especially for the ladies. It does not make sense to let them through then we are holding up the next group too and slows us up

also, no beverage cart which I thought the club had

Typical Scottsdale Overpricing

Not the best value for the money.

Course to chopped weaving through Subdivisions

Would not hurry back especially at that price.

$30-40 course @ $100 way out there

Best I’ve seen it

Starfire is in my neighbourhood so I’ve played it over the years occasionally. I thought this is the best I’ve seen it. It’s pretty short course but still demands some accuracy playing through the housing development. Conditions were great.

GOOD GOLF, REASONABLE PRICE!

Finally found a very good golf course at a reasonable price in my new neighborhood in Scottsdale! Plenty long enough from the white tees for an aging (71.5) dude with a 9.5 index looking for good tees and fairways with better than average greens at a price that makes sense. Just a bit rough around the edges but overall, an excellent value for money! So many places charging well over $225 up to $550.00, a real ripoff (think TPC) on the golfing public! I’ll definitely return for more golf at Starfire!
