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.

Great short course

I love Sunbird because it’s always in good condition. Pace of play can be an issue sometimes but it’s usually pretty good. Price was great!

Good Morning at SunBird

The course is in very good condition. Greens are a little firm today. I had fun playing with a local group. Pared the last five holes today. I am a happy man!

Good Morning at SunBird

Even though the pace of play is very slow here, this is still a fun course to play. We had four groups on one hole before things spread out a little. No help from any course management to move things along.
