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.

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.

No carts/hairy greens/bare fairways

The title really says it all. Got to courses 40 minutes prior to our 1238 tee time and didn’t get off until 120 due to no available carts. Additionally there was an outing right behind our tee time and it was a good thing I exerted some pressure on the pro shop staff or we would have been stuck in the middle of that group (the starter still let two groups ahead until I complained) and would never had finished our round. Started playing here last year and it was a good value, but this year the conditions have really declined. One more point to knows; bring your own alcohol drinks as none are sold on the course.

Thought the course was very fair. It was in good shape, and they are working to make it even better. Greens were a little slower than other course we have played, but the green were in great shape and rolled true. We enjoyed the course. We were not sure we would like it being a par 66, but we enjoyed the day.

Nice course for the money

Like the course. Wish they allowed beer on the course, but I can deal with it.

Snowbirds back at ot

Although a very short course, we enjoyed the round very much. Nice thick and green fareways and greens. It did take a while to get used to the super slow greens. Three of us played 18 holes in 2 hours 45 minutes with only a few waits. Good course to get our golf year started.

Pace slow, greens slow

Front nine was terribly slow. On more than one tee box, there were 3 groups waiting. Apparently, there was a twosome that was holding everyone up? If so, they should have been taken off the course. Greens are quite long and very slow.
