Good Course-Good Time

So overall, I would come back here. Staff in Pro Shop, cart loading staff, and Dick (first tee ambassador) were top notch. Course was in very good shape. Greens rolled slower than I thought they would. Position off tee is rewarded and some well planted trees obstruct approach. First off, played in just over three hours. Would play again, the bummer is cost of play for this time of year which is high.

Underrated course close by

For an older course in a residential community, this course is a gem. Really good layout and in very good condition. Very playable but wish the green fee was a little lower. Will definitely return.

don't waste your money

Im new to the scottsdale area and have been trying to play a new track every week. I had my hopes for this one. It is not worth the money, id pay max 65 bucks for here. Its nothing special at all. There are way better courses for this price. The staff told me it goes up to 225 in march.

Nice quiet course for the price

As a couple we had the course to ourselves which is hard to find. The course is decent for the price. We just played the front 9 holes and barely saw anyone. I'm a single digit cap but my girlfriend is just beginning so we took our time. From the tips it's decent and the closest tees were great for a beginner.

Starfire Golf Course Review

My wife and I played Starfire for the second time (once in 2022)11/27/23 and were impressed. The course is beautiful and well cared for. All staff were outstanding in friendliness and helpfulness. The pace was efficient. Wish we could have benefitted from the discount card, but are in the area for only a few days.

We will definitely return to play again.
