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.

Love this Course

The course is almost always in very good shape. Just a few areas being worked on, and that includes some tee boxes. Greens were outstanding. During our round we saw something unbelievable. There was two men in a personal golf cart, with both a Canadian flag and US flag. We did not see these two until #10. They actually drove their golf cart not only right next to every green, we saw them drive across at least two greens! We let the clubhouse know, but this is when you wish there was a ranger around.

Nice Course

I play Sunbird often as I enjoy the layout. Looks like quite a few holes are under going repair in both the fairways and tee boxes. Hopefully this won't take more than a month or so. We were the last group out for the day and we breezed through in three hours. Always like the staff at Sunbird.

The marshal was annoying

I wasn’t taking any extra shots or reshooting. The marshal kept telling me to play faster and being rude about it. A smile and some common courtesy would’ve been nice. When you constantly tell someone to hurry it makes them play worse and that’s annoying. In the end, we caught up to the players in front of us, no thanks to the Marshall making me play worse. all of us shot birdies and played in the 80’s but I wouldn’t go back.

WET day

Too many of the course holes had major issues with drainage from the rain we had 5 days earlier. Holes #1and #2 were extremely wet including the fairways. For the current pricing we should expect better conditions. Due to the wet conditions the price of the round should have been discounted!

Beats Going to the Range

First game in several months, so played this short course instead of the driving range. Okay layout, but too many short-short holes. Greens were in good shape, and people were welcoming and friendly. Got what I was looking for at a good price. Satisfied !

Parking

The parking is a bit tight. Difficult driving since this is a retirement community with a lot of people carelessly driving their golf carts around without looking where they are going.
