About

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!

Very enjoyable layout and pace of play. Some holes views were impacted by significant construction at the resort. Staff very friendly and great parking.

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

This course is fun, yet challenging. The greens are extremely challenging. The course layout is really good. I had a great time playing this course.

excellent conditions & fun layout

course is playing well. grass is still new, so plays longer than later in the season. carts are allowed at 90. greens are as pure as ever and in excellent condition. pace of play is below average with 5 hours to complete 18. back nine routing is a bit confusing but the views are worth it. food is great at the snack bar or restaurant upstairs. and staff is wonderful. (bring a desert club if you don’t want to hit off crushed granite rock)
