Squire/King at Starfire Golf Club

Starfire Golf Club, nestled in the heart of Scottsdale, is where desert golf meets the easy-going spirit of Arizona living. Originally carved from the landscape by Arnold Palmer, the Squire/King course presents a generous, player-friendly layout, inviting golfers of all skill levels to swing freely. It's a far cry from a punishing desert track, favoring a more forgiving style with wide fairways and subtly undulating greens.

Palmer’s design philosophy prioritized playability, and this is evident throughout. The course unfolds with a rhythm that encourages strategic shot-making rather than brute force. While not a regular stop on the professional circuit, Starfire has long been a popular destination for those seeking an enjoyable, accessible round under the Arizona sun.

Beyond the course, Starfire cultivates a welcoming atmosphere. It's a place where post-round gatherings on the patio are as common as birdies, and stories flow as easily as the local craft beers. While no legendary culinary item reigns supreme, the clubhouse grill is a consistent draw, known for its approachable menu and casual camaraderie. It's the kind of place where the golf is good, the company is even better, and the Arizona sunshine makes every day feel like a vacation.
