Starfire Golf Club

Desert target golf at its most unforgiving, this Scottsdale layout demands precision over every wash, arroyo, and saguaro-studded wasteland that defines Sonoran Desert architecture. The elevated tees showcase the McDowell Mountains while forcing carries that separate dreamers from players who actually practice their iron play. What elevates this daily-fee gem above the crowded Scottsdale market is how the routing maximizes both the dramatic elevation changes and those picture-perfect desert vistas without resorting to gimmicky forced carries.
