 Located just 30 minutes West of downtown Phoenix, Estrella Mountain Ranch offers a challenging round of golf on a course designed by Jack Nicklaus II, and affords breathtaking beauty in a natural desert environment. Awards include: “One of the Nation’s Top 40 Daily Fee Courses (Golf and Travel Magazine August 2000), “Top Ten Public Course in Phoenix” (Business Journal 2000 & 2001), and “One of Top Ten Courses in Arizona” (Ranking Arizona, The Best of Arizona Business 2000 & 2001). Stretching to over 7100 yards with a top slope rating of 136, and with 4 other tee areas measuring 6733, 6249, 5759 and 5124, this layout provides a fair test for golfers of all skill levels.
As Jack Nicklaus II's inaugural Arizona course, the new Estrella Mountain Ranch Golf Club 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. "I want people to step away from my course having used every club in their bag," he says.
The signature 17th hole, a 189-yard par 3, is set majestically into the rocky terrain and can be one of the few solid birdie opportunities of the course.
