About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Style Desert/Executive
Par 66
Length 4353 yards
Slope 112
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.

Optimistic

This was my first time playing this course and I must admit that I was a little intimidated by the proximity of the homes. As a new golfer my confidence on avoiding those homes wasn’t very high, however I’m relieved to say that I avoided the homes.

Great As Always

Always enjoy playing here. Just be patient about pace as it is a retirement community. Teed off at 2:56 and finished at 6:10, still had daylight.

Nice course

My wife and I played 9 holes in 1:45. The tees, fariways and greens were in excellent condition. It's a nice course for higher handicappers because it's shorter than a normal course and there is not a ton of trouble. Most all of the other golfers there were residents of the Sunbird Community and everyone was very nice and cordial.

Great little course!

Loved the course—lots of fun par 3’s surrounded by homes. Only thing missing was a beverage cart or better amenities after hole 9. Restrooms were confusing to find. Will definitely be back!!
