Played it the day before and was pleasantly surprised with a 45 plus minute round faster from day before. Course in great shape with sneaky tough greens. Great course hope i can play it again soon!

Course was in great shape but too many twosomes that could have been paired up by the club. Over 4.5 hours for 18.

I wish the player assistant would monitor slow groups. At one point three full groups were on one hole. This shouldn’t happen.

Pace of play a little slow. Marshall needs to pair up twosomes being let out. Spreading out tee times even by a couple minutes would likely help. Grass near tee boxes quite long except on eyes. Doesn’t help bug issues. Overall not bad.

Would be nice to marshals on course monitoring pace of play. Greens in good shape. Fairways looking pretty good as well. Sometimes they’ll let beginner foursomes onto course that are pace of play killers.

The greens were in poor shape consisting of green sand in many places. Many places in the rough were unplayable. The starter was about as rude a person I’ve ever met on a golf course in phoenix area.

The price was good but the course condition was lacking. I rented a set of clubs for my wife and the driver was badly dented. Pace of play was ok but the fairway grass was very thin and the sand traps were as much dirt as sand.

No mention of heavy rains the previous evening when booking. Course layout was confusing as one of the three nines wasn’t open. No starter or Marshall at the course making pace of play brutal on the second nine. Some fairways were under an inch or two of water in some spots. Cart paths were like rivers and made it very messy as they were dirt and it was impossible to get around in some spots. I was covered in mud by the end of the round.

NO overseed warning on GolfNow. Disappointing. Cart path only means pace of play well over four hours with no waiting. So soft in some fairway spots you sink into the fairway while walking on it. Have played Estrella before and much better value in other seasons.

Fairways a little drier than should be this time of year. Sand traps were horrible with very little actual sand as mostly dirt. Pace of play was good. Greens were true which was nice.

I have played this course before and it was in much better shape. I realize it’s early in the season but it was cart path only and four of the greens were covered with tarps. None of this was mentioned prior to booking. Even as a “hot deal” it was anything but today.

Greens in ok shape. Should be better for this time of year. Some of the waste areas were actually mud traps. Slow pace of play on the front. Power lines noticed as they run through many holes. Ok value for money.

I realize this is a short course but it was unimpressive other than some of the views. I’m unsure why a par 3 would be attached to a resort but go figure. The layout on the course was bizarre especially the trainwreck that was 14 and 15. The design here felt like an afterthought. I paired up with another guy like myself that never realized this was a pitch and putt especially since it was pricier than a lot of courses in Phoenix and the west valley. Guess they have to pay for the views somehow!

Good layout and friendly staff. Pace of play a little slow but overall a good round.

Pace of play slightly slow. No Marshall to be seen. Some greens just aerated which affected speeds. Overall though it was good value for the money.

Good round overall.Pace of play a little slow at times. Greens in great shape for time of year. Will definitely be back!

Everything was very good. Some water in bunkers and on fairways in some spots due to heavy rains night before but course was still very playable. I will be back.

Greens were in great shape! Fairways in good shape. Rough in poor shape. Good pace of play until last few holes where it seemed to bottleneck.
