Sunbird Golf Resort
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 but not for the money...
Paid 50.00 for basically a executive course, it was in great condition and greens rolled true. It was very windy which didnt help but the people I played with were very nice and even got a swing tip which did help so thank you Rich..id recommend this course, fun track..some of the par 4s are drivable..the one par 5 is a great hole if you dont go into the water which surrounds the entire green which I did not know..thus I flew the green into water....try it, you'll like it..
Short Course. A lot of fun.
Busy course. Easy check-in. We used the practixe putting green before starting. Was of value as the green are slow. The course itself is easy to maneuver. The fairways and greens were in good shape. As were the tee boxes. We had to wait 5 minutes at each hole during to the backlog ahead of us. It was a reasonable wait. Starter was friendly and professional. All in All a good experience. We will.come back. Long hitters will eed to go down a club or two.
Overall, great
If it wasn’t for an on-course worker, the experience would have been great. The worker made some very coarse remarks that were unnecessary and unwarranted.
Hidden Gem
My experience playing at Sunbird was wonderful and I mean wonderful. I will first start off by saying everyone I saw was polite and said hi which made me feel welcome. The staff inside was very helpful specifically Ken who help me. The course is well kept and the greens are nice. I played with a guy named Jimmy who lives on the property. We had played just 9 holes due to twilight which was fine. All I’m saying is THIS IS A MUST visit golf course to play for sure!
Great course
I had family and friends from out of state, I played this course Monday and Tuesday Everyone had a great round of golf The course was in excellent shape and challenging enough for better players and still enjoyable for those of lesser ability Looking forward to playing SunBird again
I'll be back
My wife and I are both coming back from injuries/surgery, and wanted to ease back in not knowing if we'd even be able even finish. Golf conditions were good. Some of the greens were a little fuzzy (slow).
We'd had breakfast here two years ago with view of course, and had always wanted to come back to play here. Great breakfast and golf. We'll be back soon for both fer sure.
Greens
There was an over abundance of goose poop on some of the greens. Other than that, the course is in great shape. Good pace of play.
Getting what you pay for.
Getting what you pay for:
It seems like golf today is not like golf two years ago before the pandemic. Golf used to be an experience where you would go out, to quote a famous writer Mark Twain, a good walk spoiled. That was golf. Today you go to a golf course especially in Phoenix to overpay dearly and wait at every hole to take a shot. Sometimes up to three to four groups are waiting on one hole, it's no longer a good walk spoiled, it's a good time spoil. Golf is supposed to be a mind cleansing relaxing experience to be enjoyed with nature and your friends but has turned into a sport that isn't much fun these days. Operators and owners of course are making money but the consumer as always, is not getting what we paid for. It reminds me of going out for dinner to your favorite place and getting your favorite dish now looking like a drizzle of something that is supposed to represent the meal, served cold.
In all fairness to this course it's a nice little course although completely surrounded by houses. It can bring me to a state of peaceful relaxation if allowed. There are so many people on this course, it is a retirement community but it's overbooked to the max. I would spend my hard-earned money elsewhere it's just not that great of an experience. I only made it through nine holes I suspect the other holes were like the first nine. I couldn't take it anymore I'd leave this course to the locals.
