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.

Nice day
Marshall’s need to remind foursomes to pick up pace when course is very busy. Too much lack of consideration by the foursome that teed off at 8:57am.
good short course
Played Sunbird for the first time on Monday. I had read the reviews on the course and was interested in seeing it for myself. The course is in very good shape. The greens are on the slow side right now. The bunkers were in good shape. Pace of play was great and the staff were very helpful. While it is a short course, it is a great spot for a tune up. It was our first round since arriving in Arizona for the winter. Easy course to walk which is what I would do next time there. I would go back if the price was right. No complaints here!
Cold but playable.
Sun came out on back nine but course is in good condition. Greens were wet but all played ok.
Rude Staff & Crap Course, but Cheap.
Pro Shop Attendant & Starter we’re both very rude. I golf 1-2 times a week & regularly arrive 15-20 min prior to my tee time. I did this here & was told I was late & that I better hurry up or I wasn’t going to be teeing off for another 5 hours. Then I was at the tee box 5 min before my tee time & the starter told us that “all these groups were waiting on us”. I actually laughed cause I thought he was joking. The course was pretty awful & almost every hole was lined with houses, but it was very inexpensive so I can’t complain too much about course conditions.
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!
Very slow play
Tee time 112 only able to get 9 holes on a short course. Painfully slow play. Greens in excellent condition.
Nice course
Very nice course and layout. Fun to play and staff is always great
