The Phoenician Golf Club reopened in the fall of 2018 after a massive redesign and renovation by Scottsdale-based architect Phil Smith. The new 18-hole layout replaces the original 27-hole routing. Every hole is new, featuring TifEagle grass greens and tees, fairways and rough that are 419 Bermuda grass. The golf shop has been expanded as well, and the Club Car golf carts have been outfitted with the "Shark Experience" - a new golf technology with a high-definition touch screen and built-in speakers for playing music and watching live sports, news and entertainment, along with GPS yardage.

My new favorite vourse

Given golf in Scottsdale on Aug 3 most course are working on overseed greens changing over grass rye/ bluegrass this course was in good not great shape, greener than my country club here, spots of dead grass and a couple of greens need work.

I think the worst part is that, cart path only on 1 and 18 the entire year. Just terrible. I am sure there is a reason but….. just terrible.

Play in the Heat

Played in 115 degree weather… didn’t need the driving range to loosen up at all! Course is amazing, very well maintained and challenging enough from the amateur tees to make a first-time course player to feel like they’re playing tournament ball. Would play again happily. Locker room is really nice and the showers are top notch to cool down and smell great after a very hot round.

Fun course good interest off the tee

The course was in great summer shape with soft receptive greens. Obviously primarily a winter resort as there was not sufficient water available on course. Bring your own jug when it’s hot. Automated pace of play warnings on the GPS are annoying, we waited on the group ahead all day, which was fine, it’s a resort, guests are having fun.

Premium Golf - Reasonable Rate

Most resort courses don’t offer much of a challenge. However, from any tee box, the Phoenician doesn’t hold back! Great elevation changes along with risk/reward par-4s & 5s make this resort course a must play for locals and visitors alike. Amazing, friendly and professional staff culminate an overall memorable experience. And with the GolfNow rate, this one is hard to beat!

June Golf at the Phoenician

This is the first time I played the Phoenician since it changed to 18 holes from 27. They did a good job with the holes they kept. I did miss the Downhill par 3 on Camelback that is no longer there. Overall a good layout, might be short for long hitters. Greens were in nice shape, Troon properties usually are.
