Welcome to Scottsdale Country Club

Known as “The People’s Country Club,” Scottsdale Country Club is a public golf course that blends tradition with innovation. Known as Starfire until 2026, the club has returned to its original Scottsdale Country Club name — read the story of its rebirth. Located just a few miles north of Old Town Scottsdale, the iconic club offers 30 innovative holes. The 18-hole championship course (The Roadrunner) is the oldest golf club in Scottsdale (c. 1953), and one of Arizona’s last remaining courses built before the golf boom of the 1960s.

For those looking for more relaxing golf, The Snake is a 12-hole short course — a full golf experience in under 90 minutes. It’s the perfect golf for all ages, all skill levels and all fun seekers. Designed by Forrest Richardson, the course offers such features as Scottish-style bunkers and a huge boulder set in the 4th Green. Fun golf. Good pace. Shoes optional.
