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.

Gate guard button pusher

Overall course was in good shape. Course seemed tight but was surprised as long as you kept your golf ball relatively straight. Good course to play this time of year. Pro shop staff was friendly but getting into the course you did not feel welcome the grumpy man at the gate played 20 questions with you after you already mentioned to him you had a tee time he asked are you going to golf course in a snid way . I understand that he may be trying to to his job but he just sitting there not writing liscense plates down he just seemed to have to push a button and give visitors who are spending money a hard time

Had a great time. Would definitely golf there again. Staff friendly & helpful.

Golf a lot in the winter because we are snowbird. We are farmers so are able to golf a lot in the other times of the year.

Great course for the money

We played on a very wet and windy day so amenities were lacking. Bar and restaurant were closed due to New Years day so can't fault them for that. Overall a great round of golf.

Lovin Sun Bird

Wife and I really enjoy playing Sun Bird. Perfect course for senior couples. Shorter BUT challenging. Fast undulating greens and water on many of the holes make SB a fun day of golf. Food, prices and sercvice make the restaurant a bonus after our round!

Lovely course

We had a great time. Beautiful course so green and lush. In fact just off the fairway was a little too lush . We haven't golfed much & I had a challenge getting it up out of the taller grass. We golf lots here but not much back home.

People & staff were so friendly. We got there early before our tee time and they were able to get us off early

We plan to go back again & have recommended their course to friends. Plus we said how easy it was to use GolfNow.
