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.

Odd Layout
This course is the result of removing 9 of 27 holes and a front and back nine a ten minute cart ride apart. Views on the back nine are nice. The paralleling fairways and tight green to tee locations make it potentially hazardous for average or less golfers. Since the course is on the shorter side, green layout is its defense, which is to say, very contoured. Conditions were overall pretty good and while a bit funky, it was fun to play. Didn't think it was a great value given the overall course. But then again, played Talking Stick for more and thought that wasn't a value either. Must be the cost of Scottsdale golf!

Awesome track!!
I’ll definitely be back to play this track! I enjoyed the front nine more than back nine. It looks like the back nine was reconstructed recently but the views from back nine were incredible
