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.

Nice layout but tough to enjoy with cart path only

Course was in really good shape except for shaggy greens. I would have enjoyed it more but cart path only really makes it tough to stay focused, choose clubs etc when I didn’t know the layout. Very friendly staff, would definitely play it again. Waited on almost every hole, a little over 4.5 hrs

Very enjoyable resort course

The course is an excellent resort course, with generous fairways and challenging greens. The back nine had a more interesting layout with a more varied terrain, although it played considerably shorter than the front. We played the gold tees (second longest), but thought we would have enjoyed it more had we played the tips. The course was in pristine condition, and the greens were very fast with lots of subtle movement.

The course is in pristine condition

Scenic landscaping with lush green fairways in a desert setting with mountain backdrops. It was absolutely beautiful. One little drawback was that it was cart path only.

Great conditions, bunkers need work

Great layout and the course was in great shape. The bunkers were nearly unplayable,- hard pan and almost no sand. Cart path only - wish they would have told us. Very freindly and helpful staff.

Nice Redesign

First time back to the Phoenician since the redesign (they consolidated 3 nine hole tracks into one 18). New layout much improved, back nine is very memorable close to Camelback Mt. Fairways and greens both in good condition even right before winter over-seeding.

There are a few very long distances from green to the next tee, but not really a problem in a cart. Only downside was the massive construction of homes on the grounds; this is obviously temporary.

Bring you own booze

Seriously. The prices for drinks out here are insane. $90 for 2 bloodys, a double jemison and 2 beers. I'm fine paying for my drinking at a golf course, but, this is nuts

Beautiful Course

Great course and layout. $65 rate as a hot deal of Golf Now made it very attractive. Played as a single and did catch up to a twosome at one point, but just allowed me to work on game a little. Saw bev cart 4 times and a Marshall did stop by and said they moved along a group that was dragging
