Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge

I recently had the pleasure of playing the Wildfire Golf Club at the JW Marriott, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The Palmer course, which I played for the first time, truly exceeded my expectations.

From the moment I arrived, the course’s pristine condition and attention to detail were evident. The layout of the Palmer course was both challenging and fun, with stunning views that made every hole feel like a new adventure. The variety of holes kept me engaged throughout the round, and the strategic design made me think on every shot.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the facilities at the JW Marriott were top-notch. The clubhouse had a great atmosphere, and it was the perfect place to relax after a round of golf. The greens were fast and true, and the fairways were in perfect condition – making for a smooth and enjoyable game.

Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just starting out, I highly recommend the Palmer course at Wildfire Golf Club. It's one of the best golf experiences I’ve had in a long time, and I will definitely be coming back!

Little bumpy on Green’s they were punched recently like to have that info before I purchased my round but overall satisfying day, especially for the money

Entire course is punched. No mention of greens or fairways being punched when they charge you $100 to play this course. If you like putting balls on the beach, the greens here have a similar feel. Bunkers are actually the same consistency as concrete. This could be a beautiful course, shame it’s in such terrible shape.

Best greens I've played all year in AZ. Course was in incredible shape, little muddy in spots, but other than that it was pure! Bunkers we're the first bunkers I've hit out of in the last 3 months that weren't rocks. Definitely coming back to try Faldo! Palmer was very target golf. Lot of short holes that require iron off the tee, but super fun! 9/10

I played the Faldo course a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to try the Palmer Course. I thought the Faldo course was interesting, but a lot of bunkers and target golf off the tees. The Palmer Course was narrower off the tee, but fewer fairway bunkers to deal with. Overall, I liked both courses and will add both into my rotation when I visit Scottsdale.

All good

Sand in traps not fluffy at all but greens are great as are tee boxes and fairways

Had great day at the Palmer course. Greens were great, overall condition was superb.

Overall great course and in very good condition but Bunker (Called sand traps) have no Sand at all

Loads of wilderness including coyotes & co

Will play the Faldo the other days - But Palmer requires straight shots and proper course management

Great course and layout. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend

Great, interesting layout, each hole had something different to challenge us. Course was in excellent shape, staff was Marriott friendly, can't go wrong.

Course was in great condition. Pace of play was wonderful. Typical desert golf course. Balls were playable when easily found off fairways. Starter told us all the fairways were right in front of us. He was right, but the course was too boring. Straight out fairways. No signature, fun to play holes. Par 3's were boring.
