Golf Club of Estrella offers challenging
play in the midst of breathtaking beauty. Following
in his father's legendary footsteps, Jack Nicklaus
II's daily-fee championship course is golf in the
traditional sense-- challenging yet forgiving, and
always spectacular. At first glance, Estrella looks
like a desert course with an Eastern touch. But
really it's more of an Eastern course molded into
vast expanses of colorful desert. Fairways roll
across the natural contours of the land allowing
washes and hillsides to remain in a pristine state,
while elevated tees unveil views of the Sierra Estrella
Mountains. It is a course as remarkable as its heritage.
The course is designed to accommodate golfers with
varying abilities by offering several tee placements
that match skill with distance. Wide landing areas
and large, rolling greens make the course playable
for golfers of all skill levels. The signature 17th
hole, a 189-yard par 3, named Grand Consequence,
is set majestically into the rocky terrain and can
be one of the few solid birdie opportunities of
the course.
