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.

Palmer course

Beautiful golf course. Fairways and green excellent condition. Greens held balls hit from the fairway and greens putted fairly fast. I will be back to play the Faldo!

Great Palmer Course

Really enjoyed this course. Disappointed that we did not get off on time as the delay caused us to finish after sundown so it got cold quickly. The conditions are great. The layout is nice. Although it advertises easy to hit the fairways, watch line up off tee boxes to the wide parts of the fairway. Getting off the grass can leave tough shots!

Wildfire - Palmer course

Lots of forced carries to reach fairway. Several blind washes especially on the par fives. Basically a course for low handicap players.

Nice course, layout is solid and conditions are great, greens pretty challenging. Only complaint is that they charge you $25 to park after paying for a tee time..that is honestly ridiculous and unheard of in Scottsdale where rates are high as it is
