Golf Club of Estrella
About
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.

Excellent turf conditions
Course in great shape, greens receptive, traps were pretty good, pace of play was 4-1/2 hrs, staff were great, pretty uch all I could ask for
Definitely worth playing!
Nice track, nice views, plenty of room to spray it and not hit a house! Definitely will try to play again!
Marshal needed
Great course but we ran into what would have been a 3-plus hour back nine and weren't able to play the final two holes (despite teeing off by 2 p.m.) because a single was let off behind us and we let him play through ... and then the course case to a screeching halt on the back nine and we only got in seven holes before finding 4 groups on the 17th tee as the sun was setting. As we drove in, we found a no one on the 18th. Where was a marshal / player assistant?
Great Track
Well worth the 55 minute drive from Scottsdale.,Get there to enjoy there great range and practice area. Tees, fairways and greens are in decent shape. Some very challenging par 3s. Watch out for sloping fairways but by and large with some exceptions lots of room to let your driver rip. Back nine makes you think on the par 5s.
Pace of play was excellent. Great value. Play it… you won’t be disappointed.
Fun course, nice layout, more sand
Golf Club of Estrella is a fun course to play. I really enjoy the layout and will play it more often. Could use more sand in the bunkers - at least the ones I was in.
Beautiful, fair, challenging
Dont spend 2-3 times as much in Scottsdale. Play Estrella!
Very Good All Around, But!
Very good layout with enough challenge for all levels. The hybrid grass always leaves you with a very good lie. Friendly staff and enjoyable atmosphere. I would like to rate the course higher but the bunkers are very sub standard. Many rocks and pebbles but more importantly a very poor type of sand and not enough of it. For what Troon charges I think they could do a much better job with the condition of the bunkers.
great course
I enjoyed the course a lot. We had a 2 hour frost delay and the course worked hard to move us around and get us started close to our tee time. The staff was very friendly. Starter got things moving and the marshal kept them moving. The course was laid out nicely with some challenging holes. Tee boxes, greens and fairway were all in great condition. Brand new carts with GPS. I will definitely play here again.
Pick the right tee boxes for you!!!
One of the most picturesque courses we’ve played in the Phoenix area. Lots of great views from each tee.
Fairways and greens are in terrific condition, but the bunkering is pretty severe. We have 9-15 stroke handicaps and were able to access most of the greens, but recognize that if the average golfer doesn’t take a reasonable tee length, they may have difficulty hitting and staying on the greens. Many greens have walls of sand protecting them.
Absolutely loved our afternoon at Estrella. We will return with a full foursome next time.
