Thank you for playing Starfire Golf Club and thank you for your feedback.
We are continually working to improve our golfers’ experience.
It does sound like we missed some easy opportunities to make the experience better and we will work with our team to improve.
This summer we have an entire tee complex renovation scheduled. We will be leveling all the tee surfaces and resurfacing with a modern strain of Bermuda grass. We are excited to have improved teeing grounds for our golfers starting mid-summer.
We look forward to having you back to experience the improvements!

Extra $25 fee mandatory

Prepaid thru Golf now but told at check-in I owed $50 for food and beverage. I told them I just ate and did not want it. They told me I was not allowed to play if I did not pay that "fee"..I call it a hostage tax....Had to pay it and got cookies and Gatorade....course dried out and yellow....won't be back

Better places to play

First time here and a bit disappointed....as was the 3 others in my group. Course needs plenty of work....gas golf carts (who uses gas carts anymore?)......no charging ports in the carts, no gps.....ball washers old and used, cart parths are like riding around in Afghanistan- more potholes than good pavement....greens were in good condition-that was the highlight.....Certainly not worth $50 per round......very few yardage markers ...they had one white stake at the 150 mark and that was it....will not be going back.

Skip it!

Several ruts and holes along the holes and muddy spots. Plus they have not cut the rough in ages and it is all weeds, dead spots, ruts, and high grasses. My ball was just off the fairway and it took 15 mins to locate between all the weeds and high grassy areas.....I have played this course around 30x and i was totally shocked as to how bad they let it go....No ball washers and a few water fountains on the course....ball washers were removed for Covid and never put back....I would skip this course until they invest in getting it back into the shape it was years ago,,,,,VERY disappointed......

Fairways have little to no grass....just hardpan....i played with 2 friends and we all could not believe how bad the fairways are....apparently overseed never came in or they just dont water them and the are dead...either way i would skip this course until it becomes playable again...greeens in good shape but good luck getting the ball there!

This course needs a little TLC...and some cleanup

Older course in south Phoenix.....not much to see as far as layout...most holes are pretty straight out with bunkers in play...only 3 holes have water in play. I noticed a lot of trash in the rough and bushes along the whole course..they need to have someone on trash patrol to pick up old cups/bottles/wrappers and general junk......greens were pretty quick as they get ready to overseed....kid at checkin trying to grab my clubs to put on a cart....told him during Covid i will do it myself....not a bad track but not high on my list...good to play maybe a few times per year...could use a makeover...

In good shape for this late in the season

The course was in very good shape as they ready for overseeding starting next week....a few tee boxes were dried out but greens were good and fairways were still green.....albeit a little thin in spots....

Upon arrival we see starter sitting in cart smoking a cigarette; which blew in our face.....class act....anyway course has no paved paths so get ready to sniff in desert dust for 4 hours...no Covid 19 precautions in place....no plexiglass when checking in......and you all use the same pen to sign for your cart....no water on course and no ball washers so bring a wet towel....for $40 i expected more but with not much competition in Wickenburg this may be acout as good as it gets....go to Phoenix and pay less and get more....

Hi, bara550. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Wickenburg Country Club. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.

Thank you for your review Bara550. Feedback is what helps us improve our facility. We would love to have more permanent cart paths and someday might be able to budget for that. Until then, we will continue to allow and even encourage carts to be driven as much as possible in grass areas The water stations, rakes and ball washers were removed per recommendations to limit exposure to the virus. Our pens are routinely sanitized at the desk. As the CDC has now stated that exposure through surfaces is minimal, we have since replaced the water stations, rakes and ball washers. Regarding the smoking, we do apologize for that and it will be addressed with our staff. We hope that someday you might give us another shot.
