Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge

I think its absolutely ridiculous that they charge you for parking and you don't know ahead of time. I have never paid for parking at any golf course!

The course is alright - challenging if you are not accurate off the tee as there's a lot of tight fairways surrounded by desert sand and ditches that balls roll into.

The rough isn't really rough but compressed dry grass and with tight fairways you're hitting off it or the desert sand frequently. Greens rolled well, felt they were fair. This is the only course I've played in Arizona that actually had sand in their bunkers. Carts had GPS and showed slopes of greens. Bottled water included in cooler.

Have to be very accurate off the tee. Good amount of doglegs on the course. Front 9 was unremarkable and target golf, back 9 had some more interesting holes with approach shots over sand and water. There was a unique par 5 with the green at the end of a horseshoe fairway, probably the most memorable hole. Bunkers and doglegs were consistently ~250 out in the fairway which made you strategize how you played the holes.

Starters were very friendly, they space tee times out 10 minutes, we lucked out and had 2 groups ahead of us us only play 9 holes which made for a quick round. Drink cart came around a few times - hot dog was burnt.

Play it if you get a deal, but it's not an elite track.

Had no expectations going into this round and was pleasantly surprised. Other than the $10 for parking the course and amenities were top notch. $10 to park but you get a full practice facility and range balls… pretty worth it to me. Rangers were doing their jobs as well. We started our round at 1:30pm on a Sunday and finished 5:25 as the sun was just setting. I will be back to play the Faldo course where I hear there are some crazy bunkers scattered all over FUN!!

When I pay this much for a round of golf, I expect a little better customer service. No bag drop, no help getting clubs in or off carts.

Pace of play was poor but course was great. Great practice facilities.

Get a better rate before you play this course.

Overpriced, have to pay for parking, couse is ok but not worth the money. We played end October green speed at 6 it was terrible.

because of overseed. greens slow and cart path only. considering situation. still pretty good

I’m a big fan of the Arnold Palmer signature courses. This one did not let me down. Everything was wonderful except the greens were just a little too hairy for my liking they definitely could be cut down a little bit to make them faster. All in all this course is wonderful and I can’t wait to make it back to play the Faldo course..

The course was designed to shoot lower scores but the greens were not much different than the fairways. Impossible to make putts outside of 4 ft due to the length of the grass on the greens. There should have been a price break for those conditions!

A challenging course that requires you to hit target distances and alignments. Hit too short or too long and you’ll find the bunkers or natural washes. Hit off line and you will be in desert scrub or the water. Conditions are excellent. Greens, fairways and bunkers are all in great shape. No time upon hitting in the fairway did i feel I got cheated because of landing on poor grass or bare ground. The greens all rolled consistently and fairly.

The course was in great shape, especially for mid August. Challenging layout, great fairways, only downside was the greens were a bit hairy but still very well kept, im assuming left a bit longer due to how dry it is this time of year.

Worth the money

Pretty decent course, greens a bit rough. Great service by employees and pro shop!
