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.

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 Sunbird

Staff is always friendly, the restaurant is inexpensive and delicious, with large portions. I knocked a star off for condition, because Sunbird is generally in phenomenal shape, but this year has some dead areas and patchy fairways. Then again, all courses have struggled this year due to shortages and increased expenses. However, it should be noted that the greens are still in great shape! Generally pace of play is fine here, but this particular round was very slow. Not really anything to do with Sunbird, rather just an inconsiderate and slow group ahead of us. They did not keep up pace, and never paused to offer for us to play through. This is rarely an issue at Sunbird, so I can't complain too much. Overall, you simply cannot beat Sunbird, especially for $25! And after your round, be sure to head up to the restaurant for lunch!
