Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge

The Greens had been airiated. They were unputtable and left in extremely poor conditions. The sand was totally not swept off the greens.

While I received a discount, l was not expecting the sandy conditions of the greens. There were small mounds of sand though out the 18 holes.

I just moved to this area and live across the street from the golf course. In keeping with Marriott normally high premium standards, the Palmer course should have been closed.

This course is an extremely nice, great conditioned course except the greens. I have never seen so much sand on the greens. I don't know why there was so much sand, I assume it's for conditioning, but this amount was absurd. When the ball landed on the green, it splashed sand. This pretty much makes putting ridiculous.

The course overall is similar to the Faldo course on site. We had a group of people in front of us that moved at a snails pace. With our group was playing we should have been in and out in 3.5 hours, maybe 3 hours and 45 minutes tops.

The players assistant or in common terms, “Marshall” told the group to speed up multiple times. They were the only thing holding up the whole course.

The group continued to play very slow. Was told from the club cleaner the Marshall will only ask, but never actually do anything - this led to a poor experience which will simply make me and of of the 2 never go back.

Called pro shop, no accountability, felt like they’ve had the same issue many times and all would say is “sorry”

Awful.

Accommodating staff, facilitated expedient start and paired with a great “blind date.” The course was in excellent condition. The greenside bunkers were compacted, but playable.

I think this is a terrific golf course, especially if you can find a discounted rate.

The pro shop staff barely acknowledge us. They almost seemed put off to deal with green fee players.

The workers at the cart area and range were great.

This is the most enjoyable course I’ve played in the Phoenix area. The variety of hole layouts and lengths made this a challenge but a pleasure to play.

The course was right out in front of you no blind spots.

I had no problems with the golf course conditions and pace of play, but it was really a turn off to have to take a parking ticket, and then have to ask your desk person who made it seem like a secret. All this for a $230 round of golf.

Also, there’s no where to drop clubs and the pro shop and starter areas are a long walk apart.

It felt like there’s no reception for guests as they come up to play and it feels like we were imposing on the place.
