Sterling Grove Golf & Country Club

This course is in impeccable shape at a place in PHX most would write down as a go-to. Greens are undulating and hard but course is wide and fair. People are great. Nice views of White Tank Mountains and an occasional awesome fighter jet practicing from Luke Air Force Base. Great day.

Tough greens but lots of fun. Shot 85 anywhere else would have been 78 easily

The greens are really tough but the course itself is perfectly fair and playable. Pin placements can be tough.

Course was in amazing shape and the amenities are outstanding. It's a typical Nicklaus design so unless you are familiar with greens, be prepared to 3 putt of 4 putt. Lots of retirees and course-members playing very slow...not sure if always the case but i didnt see a marshal go around to help people move along. Waited every hole on every shot. Including having to wait on par5s was annoying.

Great conditions, everything was well watered.

The ice/water machine on hole 4 was not working, however. Sucks on a 110 degree day.

From dropping your clubs off from the car to check-in, Pick your cart up after check-in, and proceed to a great practice facility. As to get close to your tee time, visit Terry the Starter, who always has a joke for you. Terry saw us on #10, offering us water and a fresh towel. Would definitely recommend Sterling Grove to anyone visiting Arizona.

Best staff, best hospitality, best facilities and best amenities I’ve seen in a course that’s open to the public! Play it and dine at the Copper & Rye after before it all turns private.

While the course is still growing (trees), I’ve always enjoyed Sterling. Has some of the best facilities I’ve seen in a golf course. Course is in about as good of condition for summer. The course needs about another week or 2 to let the sand ware down from the aerification. But outside of that conditions are great. Fairways and greens are cut nice. Little firm due to the summer and greens are always an adventure with all the curves.

Everyone warns about the fast undulating greens which I found justifiable. I also found they rolled true in my view. I don't know enough about grasses to identify the particular type but the surface was not at all smooth though. Kudos to the grounds crew for maintaining a good balance of speed and true roll. I'm a 12 hdcp (blue tees) so I had more trouble getting to the green than I did putting on them.

Not many trees on the course to provide protection from high temps and gusty winds, so I struggled to score well. Once I rested and cooled off near hole 14 I think, I managed to finish 1 over par over the final 4 holes.

I truly enjoyed the round and admired the surroundings, including the upscale community. Incidentally, Wifey wants to forego the renovation project on our current home across town. Hum...?

Teed off at 1:23pm and just arrived at hole 12 3 hours later. No ranger in sight or water throughout the course as it has been a hot day. Course is in worse shape than some of the sun city courses down the road that are half the price. Would not recommend playing here during the summer wait for season when they actually care about what’s happening.

I had a medical emergency (high blood pressure) and tried to cancel my tee time . I was advised that I could not cancel .

WOULD LIKE A CREDIT PLEASE for $48. My friend did use one of the two times that I booked.

the course had recently been plugged which I get. Around the greens was muddy and wet. In places it was unplayable due to mud.

Nice course. Well kept. Tough greens. Best part of this course is the people you encounter.
