Extremely well maintained turf. GPS carts Water, bag tags, divot tools, range balls - all free. Lots of elevation changes on the course Very playable course

Found the sand to be too dense and heavy

Played Estella in early May, 2003. From the moment we drove into the parking lot, this was a great experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Well stocked pro shop with stuff you might actully want to have. Not bad prices either. We were given free range balls, cart, water, divot tool and bag tags. The starter was very helpful - especially since we had not played the course before. We started on time at 11:30 am on a Saturday - not bad. The course was immaculate. Tees, fairways, greens - all great. I found the sand to be pretty heavy - not the best. No real rough - it was all fairway or desert. All carts have GPS equipment - which makes playing a new course a lot easier. Full marks here. I found the course to be pretty straight forward - not too difficult. No big carries off the tee. A good test of golf.

Customer Service

Was excellent - as good as the best places.

Very nice patio for a beer after the round

Course design, unspoiled surroundings

The course will eventually go private

A beautiful desert course that is well worth the drive to play. You will not find a prettier par 3 than "Consequence" (hole # 17).

Great pro shop. Create a pleasant memory by simply having a beer on the patio after your round.

GPS on carts. Nice layout and resonable prices for residents. Non-residents pay through the nose.

Dairy farm nearby creates a lot of flys that are annoying.

I had a nice time at this course. WHen I played Dec 2001 it was in nice shape. Layout is fun. It is a little far away from downtown phoenix but the drive is OK as long as it is not Rushhour.

Customer Service

Good. No Problems. Expensive range balls.

Cheap for AZ residents. Nice GPS.

A lot of flys buggin you because of the close proximety to a dariy farm.

Had an enjoyable time here. Not very scenic for being so far away from phoenix.

Good test, must put ball in fairway

Tight and driving area's. Trap are not place very well. They come into play on all landing area's.

Played in PM and paid $40.00. Graet Value for the Valley.
Greens and tees in great shape, fairwaysabove average and rough average. This is a course taht was design for ecological conservancy.

Very scenic. Well layed out. Challenging but fair.

Other than somewhat slow greens, not many weaknesses. Clubhouse is small, but I believe a new one is in the works. Range balls not included in fees, and are expensive. Could use some more signs around practice area as to where first and tenth tees are.

This was a beautiful golf course. Every hole is so separate from the others, it's like you're the only group out there.
It was very well maintained, down to the last grain of sand. It is a new course, so it has some maturing to do. It was not overly difficult from the second longest tees (6707 yds.) but was still challenging and would be better from back tees (7102 yds.) The greens were a bit slow, but that is to be expected for a new course. All in all a must play if you are in the area.
