Starfire for value!

Very nice facility, tees and fairways are very good, greens need help but putt well enough to pass. Rough around the edges of the bunkers, cart paths and outer areas of the rough, but for a very good price, Starfire is an easy place to frequent!

First Time Playing

Could’ve been difficult to navigate

The fairways were plush and rough was grass.Greens had more ball marks than it should have for this course.Coulid’ve been tough to navigate,as there was road construction going on.Lines cart lines and street crossing weren’t marked very well.Fortunately I played with someone who had played it before.Overall was a good course Staff was very friendly.

No course management. No rangers

5 hour and 14 minutes for 18 not good. Backed up 4 foursomes deep at the turn. Horrible day Yes there was a party of 12 ahead of us but there was no one from the course moving them along. They need to do a much better job of managing the play. Poor.

Well Maintained course in Scottsdale

Starfire is so close to my home and I've always enjoyed playing here with green grass everywhere and good facilities. There's scattered ball cleaners and plenty of holes with water dispensers. Nice restroom facilities on the course well placed.

I play here often.

The course was ok. Condition was good. Layout a bit confusing and the course is fairly tight due to roads and condo buildings. The course is one where you really need to hit straight shots to score & enjoy. We teed off at 12:06 and play was slow.
