Starfire Golf Club - The King Course

Fairways in good shape but greens and first cut full of weeds.
Some bare spots too

For the price not worth the time.
Bad bunker condition, no driving range spots.
Average course, par 70

We played on a Saturday shortly after 2pm.
We were warned that we would not. finish 18 it pace was good and we played 17 and other twosome played 18. Enjoyable fun round.

I booked the tee time on the starfire web site.
Starfire booking app charges a fee collected by Golf Now. The first tee time I tried to book didn’t go through as I got a message that tee time was no longer available after I put in My credit card information . So I booked a new tee time and that went through and I received a confirmation.
Now we are being charged for the first tee time by golf now because we were a no show
We payed at the course for our confined tee time
Not happy with the course or Golf Now.

First time here, great first impression when they took our bags and took them to the cart. That's when the service changed, we went in,paid and putted, checked in with the clipboard people near the carts. One gentleman is in charge of the 9 hole course and he told us to speak with the other "blue shirt" guys. We spoke with them and they said he would notify us when it was our turn to head to the 1st tee. Time went by and now it was our official tee time, I went to the guy, he looked at his watch and said go ahead and head to the 1st tee. We get to the 1st tee and the starter asked where we had been. So we tee off and the pace was terrible , we waited each tee box and as many as 4 groups waiting at par 5s. The marshals said there was some slow groups up ahead(like we didn't know that). But nothing changed, we didn't get our round in, we had a few holes left before dark and we had been playing over 4 hours.

Play was fun, with water challenging many of the holes. I liked the borders of the water, which allowed you to retrieve balls that just barely roll to the hazard. We had a 2-some and a 3-some booked, with rentals. I was disappointed that the course made us pay the full rate for one player that missed their plane and couldn't attend. The course was mostly empty and we had several holes of no groups before and after ours.

Unfortunately the weather gods brought our game to an early conclusion so we only got 9 holes in. We did get a rain check for the back 9 which was much appreciated. The course was in decent shape although the rough at this time of year is dormi and a bit scruffy. Have played here many times and paid a lot less than $180.00 but this was Phoenix Open week so prices go up. It’s more like a $120/130 course.

Pouring rain in Scottsdale and still won’t refund my money for punter time. Pro shop boldly lying saying they are checking people in left and right during a rainstorm. stranded at WMPO can’t watch golf or play in pouring rain. Rain policy is a joke.

Course was not in great shape. Tee boxex were hard as rock, broke multiple tees trying to tee it up. Did not like the layout. Not nearly worth the $$$.

Always a great place to play a round. Due to the time, we only got in 13 holes but it was still worth it.

My rating of Starfire course overall golfing condition 3.5

In general how I rate my golf courses:
Rating of 5 would be PGA course ground condition
Rating of 4 plush but a step down from 5 Rating
Rating of 3 nice course conditions
Rating of 2 decent but not very good grass for golfing
Rating of 1 is a goat farm, weeds in fairway bare spots
