Seriously we played in 3 hours 50 minutes... and they still said something. Course is jammed into a subdivision.

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!

Hidden Gem

When you park you'll see the driving range and the par 3 course which may not impress you. Once you go into the beautiful club house, check in, get in a newer golf cart and drive to the 18 hole course you'll be pleasantly surprised. Best value in Scottsdale during our 3 week stay.

Wow $140

Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind paying for what I think it’s worth the price! But at $140 to play at Starfire I think it’s a little much!? I know that is kind of ridiculous at this point in time but we’re the ones that suffer.

Great course conditions.

Golf was great but we were disappointed that they ran out of snacks at the turn and the clubhouse restaurant and bar was closed after our round. (5:00pm)

Thank you for playing Starfire and thank you for taking time to leave a review.

We are so sorry about the snacks and closure. We always have the shop open until 6pm and we have a full compliment of bagged and premade snacks. I would sincerely like to hear more about the day and time you were here so I can make the appropriate corrective actions necessary.

Please reach out to me at your convenience at the number below.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy so much of your experience was exceptional.

However, we're sorry to see the pace of play was not up to your expectation. We take speed of play seriously and make sure our course marshals and starters are continually working with our golfers on their pace.

We hope to have you back for the Starfire experience again soon.
