Sunbird Golf Resort

I took a chance on this resort course since I got the round “free” as a GolfPass member using some points. If your main concern is value this course might be worth it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The layout is decent as a par 66. My main beef was the greens. I’m not sure what type of grass they use but I’ve never seen it before. Very rough, slow and not true rolling.

Greens haven't been cut in forever. Pace was slow so we stopped at the turn to grab a beer and were told we couldn't bring them out onto the course and we would have to quickly drink them in the restaurant.

Sunbird is a great little course to work on your short game. The course is a par 66 and is not super challenging for a longer hitting golfer.

I found the fairways were in great shape (when I found the fairways) and the roughs were generally forgiving and dry. There were sections of rough that were taller grass so they needed some extra attention to hit from. Overall, the teeboxes, fairways and rough were excellent. My hat is off to the ground crew.

The greens were overseeded and still growing in so they were fuzzy and slow in spots, but again they were very playable.

The staff and fellow golfers were amiable, and offered tips for a better experience. And the price was amazing.

I came the first time for the greenfees and will come back because of the great experience.

Good course to practice your irons. Not very many long drives.

Course is great for a quick round, only wish the cafe was open earlier to accommodate early tee times....

I have been playing this course for years, summer, winter, etc. I have never written a negative review, because I had no reason to. That changed today. Staff in the Pro Shop is always friendly, today it was Rick. Course is in bout the shape you would expect for mid-summer. There were some holes that had quite a bit of standing water due to the big storm a few days ago. First hole, after hitting my approach shot, I went to fill the divot and both bottles were empty, no sand. This is actually a repeating issue. When I made the turn I mentioned it to the Pro Shop. Also, there were quite a few maintenance workers cutting grass, blowing grass, etc. I understand that, but there was a couple guys who followed me on every hole beginning on 4. They wouldn't even shut off their engines when I tried to tee off, hit an iron, putt, whatever. Usually maintenance is much more courteous. They were blowing dust everywhere and it was so loud I finally got fed up on hole 15 after putting out and went over to one and asked him "What do I have to do to get away from you guys". No yelling, a simple question, as I told him I had to deal with it on every hole. His response? I quote, "Find another course!" I was dumbfounded and walked away. As I did, I heard him call me a "Jagoff". Really Sunbird?? Do you want me to "Go to another course" going forward, Sunbird? No problem!

Saying the greens were slow would be an understatement. They were in decent condition, just in need of attention. Fairways were spotty with large ground under repair areas in center of fairways frequently. Cheap, but would pay a few more for better conditions.

It's good to see that the greens are back in excellent shape. Fairways are pretty decent. There's a couple spots but they really improved, it's good to see when they put money back in the course. It's always been a great one, but now they're adding some new upgrades. You'll enjoy the course. It's not easy just have fun and get out there and golf staff is great

Course looked great , just because living here in Arizona, most courses are really dry , not Sunbird, all the greens were in good shape, pace of play was excellent, 1st one out of the chute

Never get tired of playing this course especially in summer. Besides lower rates and less golfers at a par of 66 can play a round in 3 hours or less to beat the heat.

Everyone on staff is friendly and accommodating.

I golf here semi regularly, and have always enjoyed my experience. Well maintained course, and for a beginning golfer, it is not so difficult as to be overwhelming.

Played today and it was great , so easy to play and not busy

I 🩷 Sunbird!

This course is challenging, fun, & has great shade in the summer. The people in the houses that surround this course are encouraging and have a great sense of humor. It was such a great time on Saturday. The people behind us gave us space and the people in front kept a great pace. If you haven’t tried this course you definitely should.
