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.

Enjoyed playing here. Staff were great. Pace was pretty good considering all the par 3s. No beverage cart, no halfway house. Got some warm soda from the machine. Other that that, it was great.

Beautiful course!

Was smart enough to book on Super Bowl afternoon! Besides getting a great deal we spent a lovely afternoon on a great course. 1st timers and what a pleasant surprise. The course is lush and longer than I expected. It was a challenge for a intermediate golfer but fun. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. We will be back.

Hidden Gem

This is a fun, short course. It’s always in decent shape, and reasonably priced. The greens were a bit slow, but we enjoyed our day.

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.
