Squire at Starfire Golf Club

Squire at Starfire Golf Club, nestled in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona, offers a distinctive desert golfing experience marked by its playability. The course, originally designed by Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane, presents a forgiving layout for higher handicaps that still demands strategic play from the more skilled golfer.

The architecture embraces the Sonoran Desert landscape, incorporating native grasses and strategically placed bunkers that frame wide fairways. Don't be fooled however, approach shots are often deceptive, rewarding precision to navigate the subtly contoured greens. While forgiving off the tee, the course does demand astute club selection to avoid desert hazards. One signature feature is the picturesque setting against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains, especially stunning at sunset.

While not historically a stop for major professional tournaments, Squire enjoys a strong regional reputation. The club fosters a friendly atmosphere with a membership that values camaraderie and enjoys post-round gatherings at the clubhouse known for its welcoming ambiance. A recent renovation refreshed the bunkers and tee boxes, ensuring the course remains a relevant and enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels.
