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.

Played from tips challenging. Sand traps excellent, greens a little slow compared to practice greens. Elevation changes make for some challenging approaches. The cart computer to see layout is average.

A Fun and Friendly Course

From check-in to check-out everyone was very cordial and helpful. we were paired with a couple with similar skills, and all played well. My birdy from a hole out on nine from 108 yards was the highlight of my round. I would gladly play this course again.

Fun course in the foothills

This was a nice resort course. The layout was fun and playable, especially on the back nine that wound through the hills in the mountains. There wer nice views and fun shots with lots of elevation changes. Conditions were very good. Fairways were wide and lush. Off the fairways is gravel typical for Phoenix.The greens were a little soft and overwatered but generally were smooth and medium fast. Conditions were nice like an upscale resort.

Pure

Amazing course, excellent condition. The staff was great. To no fault of the course, we were stuck between a bachelor party 8 some… pretty slow. Thankfully the weather was beautiful, and we weren’t in a rush.

Best views

Course was in excellent condition tee to greens. Lots of great views and challenging nuisances on many holes. Practice area is great so give yourself time to use it. Good GPS on carts allowing us to touch screen for distances to bunkers and hazards. Wonderful finishing hole. All and all a superb golf experience.

Worth It

Course and facilities are in excellent condition. Pace of play was good, we finish in about four and a half hours but did have to wait on a few holes back nine. Greens are in great condition and hold approach shots but are tricky to read. Course is now on my short list, definitely coming back.

Nice layout for a resort course. Front and back nines are very different, but both fun. Back nine is right against camelback mtn with great views of city. The drive between holes 9 and 10 was fun.

Worth every penny

The juice was worth the squeeze. Course has a great design. Greens/bunkers/fairways in immaculate condition. Saw the cart person three (maybe four) times in 18 holes. Pace of play was perfect. I can’t believe I haven’t played here before. Will be a staple of my AZ golf trips from here on out.
