Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge

Had a great time playing this course.. beautiful weather.. course was in great shape… staff super friendly all around… pace of play wasn’t too slow… group in front of us was a father with some young boys but he kept them moving along… the boys actually hit some good shots… price is a little high but it is peak season so it’s to be expected… definitely gonna come back again, to play the Faldo course.

The charge of $10 to exit parking lot took a bit of wind out of my sails. It was overall an excellent golf experience. Maybe the parking charge can be absorbed by owners.

Just a great overall course, challenging and well kept. I’ll be back

Great course that plays very long. Tees, greens, and fairways were in excellent condition. The holes are fairly straight forward with few surprises. You'll see the challenges that await you from the tee. The par three holes are fairly similar in length and design. You'll enjoy the round and the experience.

Course was in fantastic condition. Staff has always been very friendly and the best breakfast burritos and Bloody Marys in the area! We always get a tee time at Wildfire when visiting. It’s become one of our favorites!

Golf in Scottsdale in January is almost always excellent, but also very expensive relative to other times of the year. We paid $139.00 each and that was inexpensive compared to other comparable courses in Scottsdale. I live in Arizona and have played almost all the known public courses, including both Troon North courses (both are excellent) We-Ko-Pa (both courses are excellent), The Boulders (both courses are very good), and so on. I would rank my first experience at Wildfire as at least very good if not excellent. Everyone associated with the course was very friendly and helpful. We played the Palmer course and it was excellent, with a fair amount of wildlife throughout the course (which I enjoy). Parking is weird, but all you need to do is take your parking ticket inside and they will exchange it for a pre-paid ticket so you don't pay the $10 fee once you exit the parking lot. Practice facilities are abundant and very nice. Course has a really good layout, is mostly a good challenge, especially the fast greens, but overall you should be able to score pretty well. Bathrooms on the course are very nice, and the refreshment cart came by at least 3 times during our round. I really can't think of one negative and at some point we will go back to challenge the Faldo course. Our experience was extremely positive and a great day of golf in Scottsdale.
