The Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and built in 1997. The par-72 golf course measures 7,145 yards from the tournament tees. "I enjoy designing golf courses that celebrate the sheer fun of golf," Palmer said about this course, "and Wildfire is exactly that."

The Bermuda grass Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club is one of two championship courses at the club. It features a GPS option that offers golfers detailed mapping of the Faldo and Palmer courses, precise yardages for tee shots and approach shots to the greens, and the chance to order breakfast and lunch from the golf cart. Additional features include communication with the golf shop, a CBS Sportsline ticker with all scores 24 hours a day, and the leader board for tournaments. Its sibling, the Faldo golf course, also features the system.

Great Round

Great round. I was a single and got paired up with members. They were very nice and welcoming. The course is in great shape. It is cart paths only right now, but easy enough to get yardages from the cart.

Fun Course

Wide open. No major difficulties just keep it in the fairways in which you can because because they are wide. Greens are like carpet smooth and pretty easy to read. Groups were spread enough apart so there was no waiting around.

Not bad

Overpriced for condition of course. Good thing we got golf now hot deal or we would have been very disappointed. Not sure how they can charge full price when course and greens are in rough shape and cart path only.

Peak Season Price Overseed Condition

Charging top dollar for cart path only and furry greens doesn’t seem right. Recognize this is a function of over seeding, but don’t charge peak season prices for substandard conditions.

Great course layout

This is a fun course. The design of the course is beautiful with challenging holes. The fairways were wide and therefore forgiving, but the layout makes up some of the challenge. The greens were very shaggy and slow due to overseen process which is to be expected. The starters and guys on the bags were helpful and friendly. The guy in the pro shop needs some training on customer service; not very friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend this course.

Pace of play

Front nine, pace of play was great, 1:35. Second nine came to a halt played in 2:15. Not sure what happened. Marshall,showed up on the 16th hole and said he'd try to speed things up. Otherwise course was fun to play. Maybe a little pricey for the middle of the summer in the desert.

Palmer/Faldo combination

Played the back nine of the Palmer course followed by the front nine of Faldo. Really like both courses but Faldo marginally more. Both were in great shape and the staff is very accommodation. Played as a 3 some and finished in 3 hours. Pricey but worth it.

A favorite course

Marriott always has great hospitality and excellent conditions. I love playing here. Greens were fast, fairways pristine and weather perfect. It’s a narrow course with lots of trouble left and right, so if you spray the ball, bring plenty of balls.
