Rating 73.0

Golf Club of Estrella is the very first golf course on a daily-fee basis to be designed by Jack Nicklaus II in Phoenix, where it makes its home in the master-planned community Estrella, and offers 18 holes of par-72 championship golf over 7,102 unique yards. The many tests of the golf course will impress every level of golfer - though a choice of tee sets ensures no one will get in over his or her head. Desert and wash spaces require golfers to vary their shots while they take in vistas from the fairways shaped to the contour of the land and framed in the Sierra Estrella Mountains.

A round of golf at the Golf Club Estrella kicks off on Morning Star, a par 4 that measures 359 yards from the black tees. If you stick to the black tees, you'll need to conserve your energy for The Arroyo, the 16th hole, a par 5 that measures 605 yards. After that, Evening Star, the 18th hole, will be a relative breeze, at par 4 and just 437 yards from the black teees.

Once the round of golf at the Golf Club of Estrella is over, head back to the Player's Grill Restaurant for American pub fare and Southwestern snacks.

always a pleasure

perfect day, great people, top 5 course west valley. if this course can stay in the $150 range-jump on it!! this is mountain-desert golf. starting with the practice area-great changes in elevation, views, while playing off near perfect tees, fairways and greens. GPS in each cart was great/ the sand traps(as there are MANY) even had SAND in them (as i was told by a friend). if i had ONE gripe, it would be to have more rakes, distributed more evenly around the multiple traps(once again-heard from a friend). golf this course!

Great day

Pace was fair, conditions were fantastic maybe the best range conditions I’ve seen in the area. Course was really fair off the tee greens ran true and were in good shape. Great course everything is over priced so you just have to deal with it.

A truly enjoyable experience. Was fortunate to be paired with a local who had course knowledge and this was invaluable. The greens are very difficult to read but now unfair. Compared to other courses I played on this trip fairways were lush. Great value. I will definitely play here again.

Awesome Course As Always

This place was fun to play, and the course was in excellent shape. Pace of play was great too, under 4 hours. I walked the front 9 and that was a long walk. I recommend this course even though it’s pricy,

Greens need attention

Overall a great course but the greens need some attention. The tee boxes and fairways are excellent.
