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.

Rating 64.7

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.

It's very wet

Something is going on with their sprinkler system. The course is very wet (no AZ roll). It's a nice layout with some well protected greens which make this course challenging even though it is relatively short.

Nice afternoon

Reseeding was excellent. Tee boxes and greens were in good shape. It appears some over watering is occurring near cart paths and on some fairways. I have stated before that tee times are bunched to close together. Delays on every whole especially par 3’s due to this issue. After 10am please consider moving the times between groups by 5 minutes. The golfers will play quicker this way.

They don't sell alcohol

Course was in great condition and the weather was perfect. However, no alcohol sales either from a beverage cart or from the clubhouse.

Play was very slow but partly due to Cart Path only at this time due to overseeding. Good course otherwise. I believe a par 64.

Outstanding Course

The ladies now in charge of running this course are amazing! They are so professional, accommodating, and are making great improvements to an already great facility. I had a tee time for today for two people, reserved through my GolfNow VIP membership. Unfortunately, my playing partner had to cancel due to a family emergency. I revised my reservation through Golfnow yesterday to a single. When I showed up today I was told that Golfnow called the Pro shop this morning mistakenly canceling both tee time. Thankfully, they were great and let me play. I'll contact Golfnow Monday to ensure the course gets paid. Sunbird now has a Starter on the first tee. Jim is a very friendly gentleman who knows what he's doing and is a welcome addition. We also saw Jim driving the course to help with pace of play. Course itself is coming along nicely after overseed. Keep up the great work!!
