Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge

The Palmer course is in great shape. Fast greens but a forgiving course and fun to play

Great staff, great course with a good pace of play.

The course was in excellent playing condition.

Would definitely play there again, loved it.

As a Canadian playing my first round in Arizona, I couldn't have picked a better place. The course was in great shape, the greens super fast and challenging, a first class pristine location and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Would love to come back and would recommend it to anyone especially any Canadian coming down for some winter golf.

First time playing Wildfire. We found course and it's amenities as excellent. We got a 'Hot Deal' from GolfNow, which made the experience even better. Course conditions were excellent, one of the best in the Valley. Long holes with big carry to fairway. We played the Gold tees and a couple of guys in our group had trouble carrying their drives to the fairway, as a few holes had 170-180 yard carry.

Great Course! We'll be back.

Have played the Palmer course multiple times over the years of vacationing and now living in the Phoenix Valley. I have enjoyed the experience every time, no matter how well or poorly I play. Course is long and difficult enough to keep your attention, but the greens hold your approaches and roll true so you are rewarded for good play. Staff is courteous, encouraging and helpful; just what you would expect of Marriott staff. Come hit on the range to get loose, grab a bite, chat with staff and other golfers, and enjoy the course, the views and the experience of playing a championship level course without killing your budget.

I truly enjoyed this course. The staff was very friendly. Considering it had recently rained, the course dried up well. The practice facilities appeared to be in great shape, although you can only use the practice facilities if you are staying at the hotel, a member, or have a tee time that day. It would be nice if they offered the ability to pay a fee to use the practice facilities, especially if you are a local resident. However, I do understand why they do not allow it as well. I will definitely be back when the price is right.

Totally worth playing. Beautiful grounds and the maintenance of this course is very much on par with all the other greats located in the area.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the flow of the course, and i am not the biggest fan of Palmer courses......but since the condition was so good I'm looking forward to come back and play the Faldo course at Wildfire.

Nice that they allow walking. Greens were to slow for the price we paid but a great layout.

Staff service was perfect. Course in excellent condition. Only reason for not giving a five star rating was lack of changing room facilities for non members.

The course was in great shape played 18 in three and a half hours. The staff was very helpful in that this was my first time there. Played four courses in five days and this one had the best staff. Would play again for sure.

Fun course. Only issue for me was slow greens...but fairness to course they had recently overseeded entire course. Course maintenance is a very good thing.

Played the Palmer course. The Faldo was in overseed. A very nice track with many interesting holes. Staff were very good and friendly. Good warmup/practice facilities.

The course was not in top shape. I'm guessing they were getting close to oversee. Many rough patches here and there; especially around the greens. The greens themselves were also not ideal as they were quite slow and hairy. I guess that's reflected in the price I paid due to the shoulder season. If I had paid top dollar I would have been quite disappointed.

Play the Faldo course or wait for Palmer to come out of overseed if you are paying top dollar.

Pace was pretty good. 4hrs 15mins.

Great Arnold Palmer design. Course in great condition. Firm, fast greens. Excellent service and amenities.

Real Good course. Great value and I am not a huge desert golf fan, but overall real nice course. Tough but fair golf holes. Worth your time if you are in area.

A resort course. Maintained well.

Google GPS shows it wrong.

Tees green and you can see fairways. From tips to forward a good selection to choose your yardage. If high capper, whites start requiring a long 100+ yd tee carry.

Fairways ok but if your tendency to slice/hook better carry extra balls. Washes are across 8 fairways. Summertime so expect longer grass. Sides have rolling mounds.

Greens aren't elevated; just slanted back to front, or off side. Only 1 side water. Some rolling mounds to greens.

No burn out. Very good shape. Staff attentive. Signage for most part good.
