As Arizona temperatures continue to drop, now is the perfect time to venture out to enjoy the great outdoors in Estrella. Whether you are with family, friends, or are looking for a relaxing date night activity, Estrella has something for everyone this season. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite activities and Estrella events that you can look forward to:
Outdoor Amenities
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy a breath of fresh air at any of our 40 community and neighborhood parks, 72 acres of lakes, and 50+ miles of walking, hiking, and biking paths and trails. Estrella Mountain hiking options range from easy to expert levels and offer a variety of opportunities for those looking to take a leisurely stroll or exhilarating mountain biking experience. No matter what journey you choose, the trails in Estrella offer panoramic views of the stunning desert and mountains, and encounters with the native wildlife and vegetation.
For those looking to appreciate the cooler weather by spending some quality time out on the green, you can test out your skills at the Estrella Mountain golf course, called the Golf Club of Estrella. The Troon-managed facility is a par 72, 18-hole championship course with large greens and split-level fairways and has been consistently ranked a Top 20 Best Courses You Can Play in Arizona by Golfweek. This Nicklaus Design course weaves seamlessly throughout the desert terrain of the Sierra Estrella mountain range, and offers unbeatable views along with some of the smoothest and best-conditioned surfaces — creating the ultimate golf experience.
The cooler weather also offers the perfect opportunity to get out on the water with Estrella’s Yacht Club. Take your pick from sailboats, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats for a day of fun out in the sun with family and friends.

Estrella offers a variety of fun-filled events during the fall season that the whole family can enjoy together. For those who are looking to take a break from cooking for the night, you can take advantage of Food Truck Nights open to the public on Sept. 23, Oct. 21, Nov. 18 and Dec. 16 at the Starpointe Residents Club West Lot.
