Fifteen holes in the Arizona desert west of Phoenix
Fifteen holes in the Arizona desert west of Phoenix. Golf Club of Estrella runs a nonstandard layout that keeps rounds moving and walkers on their feet. The Sonoran terrain is flat enough where it needs to be, with enough elevation shifts to keep things interesting without punishing your legs. A 73 walkability score in desert golf territory is no small thing. Most courses out here assume you'll ride. This one doesn't have to. Goodyear sits far enough from Scottsdale to dodge the resort markup, close enough to feel like real Phoenix golf. If you're looking for a walking round that breaks from the 18-hole formula, Estrella delivers something different.
