About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Style Desert/Executive
Par 66
Length 4353 yards
Slope 112
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.

Nice Mid-Executive

Love playing this course. Everything is in good shape, maybe a little wet in spots but that's expected after over seed. Pro Shop staff is outstanding. Played with a retired couple and their son. Very friendly folks who live in the community. I'll be back!

Wet and long rough

Terrible day of golf - very little parking ! The course was wet from over seeding I understand that but it was impossible to find your ball. The ranger came out and screamed at me because I was not on the cart path. This was after losing numerous balls and I was in the rough not the fairway. They should keep the course closed until it’s payable.

Great Mid-Executive

Course just opened after overseed, cart path only. We walked on a perfect day. Farirways and tee boxes in very good shape. Greens will need a few weeks, which is normal, but still very playable. We'll come back.

Another enjoyable round at Sunbird

Second time playing Sunbird. Came back again because the first was very enjoyable. The course is in great shape. Had to stay on the cart path this time, but not as much a problem on this course as others.

First Time Playing

Solid little course

Small course plays about 4500 from the whites. If you select the right tee time pace can be fast. If not your in big trouble. Mostly retirees and they will play in groups of 5 with no regards for paces of play. We played the front with an afternoon tee time. Got backed up four groups on the ninth hole. It was 2:30 so we decided to skip the 9th and noticed the 10th was backed up as well. Went back to one and it was empty!!! From that point we played 18 in about 2.5 hours with two of us.

So warning! They don’t stick by tee times. 90% of the players are retirees and will play in large groups averaging 150 of the tee!

Efficient Round

Good place to play for quicker round. Much shorter course and able to play in 2 hours as a single. If you have time in the afternoon, give it a go.
