Great Staff Very Friendly

Played at 9AM course was a little damp but dried out quickly. Fairways were in great shape greens rolled true. I was only in town for a couple days so I rented clubs everything was ready to go when I arrived. Friendly staff pace of play was great a little over 3 hours. Highly recommend for the money. Starter was a great guy and marshals on course were as well. Overall a great experience I would definitely play again. Course has so challenging holes as it wrapped through the houses but overall fairly open.

Excellent value and excellent customer service

Staff was very friendly and attentive.. the group ahead of us was slow to start and the Marshall politely had them at a faster pace after 3 holes—- ended up finishing 50 minutes ahead and never felt rushed! Course conditions were very good and the greens ran true and smooth. Course requires some thought to your club selection as you can’t force a Driver on all your tee shots. Nice quiet community surrounding the golf course, just keep you tee shot in play on hole number one and out of the road !

Exceeded our expectations

Read lots of reviews before booking at Starfire. Most reviews were complaints and warnings. Our experience was great. Marshalls and staff were pleasant and professional. Course was in great shape for end of January. We'll be back for sure.

Worth a play

Some nice , interesting holes.
A few holes play alongside a busy road but not too much of a problem.
Some of the other holes weave in between residential properties but overall an enjoyable round played at a good pace ( though we were first off )

Slow greens

The greens were slow and bumpy which suspect was a result of the recent rainy weather. The water hazards were quite full. Fairways were very good. The course was fair but ii am not a big fan of courses where each hole is surrounded by homes. Just not a memorable course. It’s Ok for one time.

Thank you so much for playing Starfire and thank you for the review.
True, we do have a lovely neighborhood that surrounds us but who would have thought that when the course was built 71 years ago . . . a lot has changed in those years for sure!
We hope to welcome you back again soon when the rains let up.

Nice course

Nice course that winds through subdivisions. Very lush fairways and rough (Jan). Greens good - maybe thin )??) but I’m used to Midwest green turfs. They did putt true.

Course was well maintained and the staff was awesome

First time playing a course in Arizona and couldn’t have been happier with the course conditions and the weather I might add. Will definitely play it again next year.

The course was in perfect condition. We made it through 18 in 4 hours but we were the second off in the morning which helps. Rangers are friendly. My only critique would be the bunkers. They could use some more sand.
