Course Highlights
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.

Great Course

I like to play this great mid executive (par 66) every few weeks and it never disappoint. From the moment you enter the clubhouse until you finish, always a great experience! Even though we are getting close to overseed, course was still in very good condition tee to green. Played late morning on a Tuesday and had the course to myself, finishing in a relaxing 2 1/2 hours. I'll be back!

Short game tune-up

The course is in good condition and provides plenty of challenges with water and sand. You'll need to commit to shots inside 125yds. or you'll end up in trouble.

No peeking!

Hot day

Considering the extreme heat, course is in good shape. Fairways were green and well groomed and greens were in good shape.

Hot, dry and thirsty!

What kind of golf course in America does not sell and/or allow alcohol on the course??? No drink cart either so you can only get water at the club house and with no way to keep the water cool it's warm 2 holes after you leave the club house. Wake up people, this is a desert, liquids are a necessity! And then they pair up a super slow single with us when there was only 2 other groups playing within an hour. This will be a one time only visit, definitely won't return here!

Course Needs Attention

I've been playing this course for 20 years, and this is by far the worst condition I have seen it in. Not just one part of it, but tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens. Even at just $20 it is over-priced for summer heat. There are so many executives in the SE Valley in much better condition for less cost. I don't know why anyone comes here, unless it is the staff, who is always great. I won't be back to this dog track until the fall.

One of my new faves

I've played the neighboring Springfield course many times, but have never played here before. Let me tell you, if rates are comparable, I'll play Sunbird 10 times out of 10 over Springfield. Sunbird is well kept, friendly, good layout, steady pace, just has a great time. Will definitely return!
