Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge

course in great shape, fairways and greens excellent. Staff very friendly, GolfNow summer rates are a great bargain.

The Course was in great shape and played interestingly but not so interesting as to be unfair. Greens were a little slower and somewhat inconsistent but held a good shot and even backed up one. The greens were big targets and the green landing areas were generous and fairly forgiving. One caveat is to watch for the depression areas and hidden hazards on a few holes.

A resort layout and well-kept throughout! Solid practice area, driving range, chip/sand green, putting green. Great conditions throughout, GPS helps with some of those shots you just can't see where NOT to miss. Some interesting split fairways and a few blind shots, but not so many as to make it unfair, for a first timer. Greens receptive to shots and putt medium-fast. I'll be back again!

Played the course for the first time after playing McCormick ranch the day before. No comparison.
Couse was in excellent shape! Nice track and great views!!! Will play again this summer.

Challenging and Beautiful! The slopes of the Palmer course mixed with desert rough was a great combination for any level Golfer. I will be returning to this course.

This a great course but the pace of play can be slow at times and there's little effort on the part of staff to address it.

Course was in beautiful shape, staff was friendly, range was decent, but drinks were expensive. The hot deal we booked was awesome cheap. Definitely golfing here again and booking through golfnow again.

Excellent course for every level of golfer. Beautiful weather and course condition.

Always a great track. Fairways greens and tee boxes are well groomed and easy to hit from. The only complaint I had from this past round was the sand was extra soft compared to normal making bunker play extremely difficult. BUT don't hit in the sand and all is wel.

I shoot in high 90s. The fairways were a good width for desert course. Short par 3s and good greens. Will play it again

Fairways and greens in excellant condition. Tee boxes a bit hard.

Tried this again after seeing LPGA tear it up.

Needs better marshaling to keep pace going..

In good shape but greens are difficult.

Cost for a non-motel staying person a bit high.

This is probably the 20th time that I have played this course. The facility and staff have never let me down. I was entertaining clients from across the country and this was indeed a treat and a "punishment." for them.

Coming from Cleveland my clients had spent the last five months hunkered down in the snow with little to no ability to pick up a golf club. For this reason alone the Palmer course proved more than they could handle. Although a seasoned golfer can shoot low rounds at this course, the beginner or rusty golfer can see some difficulty in the undulating greens and dogleg fairways. No matter what you say it is not the pristine fairways that force arrant shots. Pace of play was good and the starters definitely take into account skill levels and group sizes when populating the start list. It was very seldom that we were either pushed or shoved by any other golfing enthusiasts.

I would always recommend this course to Arizona visitors and I would also urge golfers to try not only the Palmer course but the Faldo which is also located on campus. We wary, the Faldo is more challenging in my opinion.

Hit them straight and play AZ golf you wont regret it.

Sparky

Wonderful course, great layout, not as many sand traps as Faldo course. Fast greens, challenging. On course bathrooms good. Cart girl came around several times.

Course in great condition but pace of play is terrible

Greens were in great shape - they rolled very true and fast - fairway in good condition but rough a little brown

Only complaint was no food at turn and beverage cart only stopped for us once per 9 holes

We had to play a combo of two different 9 hole courses which made it confusing with the handicaps. I should have been told by Golfnow.com that this was the days condition because I wouldn't have booked this course.

Played front Faldo and front Palmer as they were repairing the back nines after the LPGA.
great shape, fast but true greens. Sand is everywhere, especially on the Faldo and is very heavy and tough to blast through.
Course is in great shape, otherwise.

Golf course is in good condition and fun to play. However, the $30 Cobb salad with chicken, plus the overall unfriendliness of the staff, really take away from the course. I don't plan on returning.

This was an amazing course. In great shape with fast true greens. The staff was very helpful even with the craziness of the LPGA tournament going on that weekend. Just an overall great experiance. Round went smooth with no waiting. Would definitely make the trip to play here again.worth every penny.
