First time @ SG, would like to play it next year

I've played 61 different courses in the valley over the past 22 years and always looking for a new one to play. We stay in Scottsdale so this was a 50-minute trip for us but well worth it. Pro shop, staff were great, course in very good condition. Everything about it was top notch. Course layout kind of benign, flat, but that's OK. Would definitely recommend you play it before they go private in a couple of years.

The Best

The "Sterling" was the 5th course I have played this month, and it was definitely the best. After playing 18 my wife and I had supper at the restaurant, and just like the course, it was also fantastic. If ever in the Phoenix area again I will most certainly play the "Sterling" again

Pretty darn good

This is a beautiful course that is in great shape..The fairways are generous so if you make great contact and sometimes it goes straight you will love this course. The greens have significant slope and some false fronts that will affect your score. Only two small complaints. $115 Is a lot to pay for a 3pm tee time when they tell you you wont finish because you are behind three groups of college golfers that are playing the tips and walking. One group let us through and they quit at 9 so we skipped one hole and played 18 with little light left. Our biggest complaint was we hit the beer cart on the first hole. We asked if she would be around and she said one more for sure maybe two but she would give us a last call. We bought one beer a piece and that was the last time we saw her...it was °88. We would have bought more if we knew.. I will definately play here again

golfer with 6 handicap index GHIN

4.5 hour round, Blue Tees 6485 yds, nice tees, nice fairways, nice undulating greens rolled like a 10, nice driving range, played behind college students that walked. green to tee box is long walk and thus, delay or slow play for those who ride following walkers. Pace could or round could have been completed in less than 4 hours but due to walkers 4.5 hour round.

small bar area, small restaurant. nice staff in bar and restaurant.

Absolutely stunning gem of a course

I was shocked by how nice of a course this is. Pulling into the parking lot I already knew the facility was going to be very nice. The course is challenging but also very playable. The grass is very healthy and the whole course is green and very well maintained. I will be playing this course many more times in the future.

A great find in the west valley

A great Troon experience! Although a semi-private club, the staff at Sterling Grove made me feel like a private member from bag drop to outside service! The practice facilities were as good as any Scottsdale 5 star club/resort, offering exact conditions as the course itself. We had a 1PM tee time and played in 4 hours. Extremely generous fairways with plenty of bunkers but the sand is excellent to play out of and the greens were a true challenge. Plenty of slopes on the greens but very manageable for the experienced putter. Would run out to play it again!

Nicest staff in the valley

10/10 experience. Course was in great condition. Course was wide open so didn’t have to wait behind any groups. I unfortunately don’t remember the older gentleman working bag drop, but he was the nicest golf course employee I’ve ever encountered. Great experience all around.
