As Jack Nicklaus II's inaugural Arizona course, Golf Club of Estrella offers a classic golf experience unlike any in the area. Following in his father's legendary footsteps, Jack II's daily-fee championship course is golf in the traditional sense -- challenging yet forgiving, and always spectacular. Fairways roll across the natural contours of the land, while elevated tees unveil views of the Sierra Estrella Mountains. It is a course as remarkable as its heritage. In keeping with the philosophy of Nicklaus Design, the course blends in with its environs and incorporates natural desert vegetation. The diverse terrain of this 7,102-yard course complies with Jack II's goal of offering variety to golfers of all abilities.

- This had some very interesting, challenging holes, which were very nice. But though playing in May, it had more yellow and dead grass patches than Bellair golf club which was 10 bucks to play. Greens on the other hand were phenominal and very true. Bunkers were surprisingly soft, seems impossible to have soft bunkers in hotter weather, so overall, a nice course
