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.

Great short game course.

We enjoy this course. The course is in good shape and the shorter holes provide a great opportunity to make pars and even the odd birdie.

The only minor negative thing is the lack of a beverage cart.

We’ll definitely come back again.

Always Fun

Play here quite a bit, staff is great, including the new hires in the Pro Shop and maintaining the carts. Course was in good shape, greens a bit bumpy but that is unfortunately expected in a retirement community.

Fun Course

Enjoy playing Sunbird. Staff is great and all players are friendly. Just wish more people would fix their pitch marks on the greens. I fixed at least 5 on every hole.

Always a great time at Sunbird

Found a hot deal tee time for Friday morning and decided to get a practice round in before a scramble tournament later in the afternoon.

Didn't think we'd finish but despite how busy it was, the pace was great. Greens were furry and slow which I absolutely loved but many golfers hate that. I love this course! It was super wet and muddy at certain spots so beware, but all that means is they're working hard at keeping it beautiful.
