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.

This place was just stunning

As soon as I made the turn into the resort I was in awe. Being from the east coast of Canada this was a true dessert experience. The conditions were perfect and the facility and staff were perfect! Would highly recommend.

Resort golf

While the course is in great shape, although for a resort you’d expect it to be, the overall layout is a bit contrived. It was clearly panned around the homes and hotels, so some of the holes are odd or too short. Pace of play was fine on the front but the back slowed down considerably - probably because there are lots of drivable par 4s or short 5s. Fun day playing but not an exceptional course.

Immaculate Conditions

This course is in beautiful shape. There’s a ton of construction surrounding the course, but the course conditions and views of the entire Phoenix area from the back 9 are amazing. Proximity to Camelback mountain is great. Getting this course for a daily deal rate, I would play this course every day.

Fun round. Liked how different the front & back were. Great views. All the ongoing construction around the course did take away from the overall experience. Would play again.

Great day

I have to say that this course is in beautiful condition with tons of great views. Despite some construction of new buildings on a couple holes.

Had a bad day driving and paid the price with some lost balls and strokes. If you keep it in fairway it's a reasonable course.

Love the resort for years and finally played here and really enjoyed it all.

Very nice

Beautiful course. Keep your driver in fairway or it gets dicey. Greens a little slowish. Had group with two walkers in front of us. Which slowed us down multiple times. Not sure why that's allowed with some of the huge gaps between green to tees.

Phoenician round up!

Course was nice! I’m just not a fan of playing fairways sandwiched by houses. But Conditions were amazing everything green nice bunkers. The Vack nine opened up with no housing but looks like it coming as construction is on its way. Definitely play your ball towards the mountains on the back everything slopes down. Beautiful views! But just me. Not a fan having to drive a 1/4 mile to the next tee.

Course is great if you can get on for $150 or less. Way too slow of play to be charged in the upper $200's.

Pace of Play TERRIBLE

the course was great - but total lack of staff and professionalism. The pace of play was the worst I have ever seen at this level of golf course.

Immaculate Shape - Quirky Layout

First time to play the Phoenician golf course. Back tees listed at a little over 6500 yards, but seemed like it played longer. Fairways, greens and bunkers all in great shape. The superintendent must have been in a bad mood because most of the pin placements were on hills/knobs on the greens. In several instances we had to wait for the group in front of us to clear the tee before we could drive up because the cart path cut back in front of the tees. Awkward. And pack a lunch for the drive from the 9th green to the 10th tee. Overall, a fun day.
