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.

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.

They do a 7am shotgun Which is a nice time and it moves quickly.

I’ve played many executive courses and this is the best. Well watered and lush. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Great course to take your kids to because no pressure and everyone in the community are retired and very nice

Best round this summer.

We were pleasantly surprised at the conditions compared to many other courses around the east valley. Most of the courses at this value are in rough condition. Pace was good, course was fun, and greens were soft (rare for Az summer). This was our first time playing this course and we will be back.

Nice Course

Considering we are all experiencing a challenging time dealing with a global pandemic, I was very pleased with the course condition and our 2.5 hour round of golf today. Been playing at Sunbird off and on for over ten years now and it's always been an enjoyable experience.

Different than most short courses. Challenging holes and layout for a short course. Good for dialing in your iron play. Was a fun to play.

This is the nicest course for staff friendliness greetings and courseplay. The fairways are lush and the greens all though somewhat hard, are easy to play. Long grass second cut is definitely a hazard.
