About
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.

Windy day out on the course
The course was in decent, not great shape. The staff is awesome. Bunkers need to be softer and need more sand.
Fairways
The fairway seem to be a little rough in spots. I know it's this time of year, but you would think it'd be a little bit better than it's only May. We haven't got into the heat yet, but the overall course and everybody is really nice here and everything. So I'll always play it because I always fix it but there were a lot of bald spots
Fun executive course in great condition
Great pace of play completed 18 in less than 4 hours, greens and fairways in great shape, staff was super friendly and the amenities clean.
Thanks for having us!
Pace of play
Fun course if you like to or need to work on your short game. Conditions were OK and for the money, wasn’t too bad. Pace of play needs to be monitored more closely. Even though a retirement community, a 4300 yrd course should not take 5+ hours. I will give it another chance.
Ol Reliable
Love this course. Has a special spot in my heart for being the first course I ever played. Have played here several times over the last year and most recently really feels like they have upgraded the maintenance. They put in a nice new turf warm up area. The fairways and greens were looking really good. They are a dry course so no alcohol or bev cart, that is one down side. For the price it’s a really fun quick course, still several par 4s with some challenging water hazards. Looking forward to playing here again!
OK for Money
Decent price for 9 holes. Greens are biggest issue as they are extremely slow and need to be chit lower. Overall good condition. Off fairway equals a lot of dirt.

Fun coarse if you want to play a shorter course. Everyone there is awesome and are great to work with.
Old folks ball
Accidentally sliced a ball off of a house. The guy and his neighbor both came out and stared at me for 5 minutes. He finally approached me and said “you’re gonna act like you didn’t hit my house?”, I responded with “you’re gonna act like you don’t live on a golf course?” Regardless, very narrow fairways with folks that are shocked when their house gets hit by a ball, no alcohol on the course. It was fine enough for an executive course but very much a “you’re not welcome here” feel. Won’t be going back.
Sunbird April 2025
Overall great experience from the welcome in the proshop to a couple of cold ones at the 19th hole. If anything the greens are a little furry or slow
