Course Highlights
Sunbird's well-maintained fairways, forgiving roughs, and a winding layout through homes give golfers an enjoyable short-game challenge. Exceptionally friendly staff and outstanding value consistently draw players back for more rounds.

Style Desert/Executive

Rating 64.7

The course at the Sunbird Golf Resort is a desert-style course that offers three sets of tee boxes to accommodate most skill levels. This executive length golf course has a country club-type atmosphere and offers a good round of golf. The greens are medium sized with some that are multi-tiered and narrow fairways. Bunkers and trees are also present on the course, adding some challenge since they can greatly affect shots. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. In addition to the executive course at Sunbird Golf Resort, the facility also offers a putting area and chipping green as well as a fully stocked pro shop.

Expected better

Staff was very friendly. With an hour frost delay, wish the course could shoot out a text so you do not have to sit around waiting and show up a little closer to where the tee time ended being.

Course was in decent shape with one exception. The greens were very bumpy, you needed a 4-wheel drive ball on some of them.

The best around

I love this course. It's close, price is right and as a par 68 doesn't take more than 3-3.5 hours. Less in summer. Course seems to always be in great shape. Everyone on the staff including restaurant/bar couldn't be friendlier. Food is good too.

First Time Playing

Good course for the money.

Had an early tee time but was pushed back an hour and a half due to frost. They could have called me to let me know. Could have given them a 5 star but they never called even though I saw them call other golfers.

Slow groups on course

The course is in good shape. The staff is great and friendly. My only issue is that there are quite a few groups that play very slow. It took us almost four hours to finish our round.
