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.

3 man golf was fun

We all shot pretty good today! It seemed to be a day for 3 and 4 people groups. We had a foursome ahead and another 3 behind; but never bunched up for long. Good pace, great day!

Fun course

I was pleasantly surprised to see the great shape the course was in. It is a fun, shorter layout, with plenty of challenges that keep you honest. I plan to play it again soon.

Nice Course

Staff here is outstanding, doing all they can with numerous improvements, including a snack shop at the turn as well as a Ranger to help with pace, to name a few. Tee boxes, bunkers, and fairways were in great condition. The greens unfortunately are not as good and quite bumpy. Hopefully they will improve making this course once again worthy of five stars.

Fun and fast

Overall, it was a great time. The course played fast (2:20), and even faster after we pass d some folks on the back nine. Good practice for target golf and course management. Not overly difficult, but a fun afternoon. The greens could be better kept, but were fairly easy to read.

Great little gem

great service, very friendly people, from the gate guard to the young lady cleaning the windows. I gave the course a 4 because the greens were not mowed so the ball did not roll thru and very slow. otherwise the course is in excellent shape.
