Estrella Mountain Ranch is a planned community a bit off the beaten path in the hills of Goodyear, Arizona--just outside the Phoenix metropolitan area. With only two restaurants in the vicinity in 2010, other dining options require at least a 10- to 15-minute drive. However, Goodyear Ballpark and Recreational Complex is under construction nearby, planned as the city centerpiece of a mixed-use development, including restaurants.
Located at Estrella Mountain Ranch, at the Golf Club of Estrella, the Player’s Grill offers appetizers, salads, sandwiches and burgers. The grill is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
