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.

Fun place. As a single I was paired with with two super gals.

Short course. A 5-6 iron on most holes and a wedge. But very fun

Experience

We really enjoyed the course. It was a little short for my liking but was great for my wife. We were hoping to get a drink at the turn so we could have a toast at 2:22 on 2/22/22 but no drinks could be taken out of the clubhouse which was annoying to us.

Enjoyed the day

Course in good condition although greens a little slow. Not long but has some interesting features. Cart had no GPS and my personal one was low on power and outlet on cart didn't work so with few markers on course distance judging was a problem. Also, no beverage cart on course while I was there.
