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.

Overpriced

For a course like this, take better care of the greens. A lot of dead areas

The Phoenician is in very good shape. It is challenging with greens that are true to your putts.

The course is good but not great

This course is definitely one of the better ones in Phoenix. Well looked after by maintenance team with no help from players (ball pitch marks). Good course for a ten and up handicap. Not long enough for the low caps. I would definitely play again but only if I find a deal on the cost. No course in the world should be priced at the rate it is. +2 cap golfer comments.

Great course, poor practice facilities including hard balls, Great starter and pro shop excellent but too much construction and after service in 19th poor, but food good. The place is becoming a real estate and Europe do this type of facilities better at a much more reasonable rate.

I treated a close friend toa round oolf before moving away. I wanted to take him to a course he wouldn't do on his own. We both enjoyed it greatly. We were both in awe of the beauty and views we saw. Was worth every penny. Thanks.

Great Resort Course

The course was in great shape. The pace of play was very good for a Sunday afternoon, 4 hr round. It is a very beautiful course. The views from the back on 13 to 15 are amazing of the city. Would play again someday if another price deal is available, otherwise way too expensive.

Good challenging layout and conditions

Played on 03/01. New construction changes in the area, so I had to ask someone for directions to get to the course as my GoogleMaps led me astray. Course is in great shape and greens are fast. Back nine is the more scenic of the two and has some of the more interesting holes with more elevation changes. Very good signage from hole to hole despite the amount of construction going on at the course. If your ball doesn't stay in the wide fairway or short rough, it'll be in the gravel rough area. Was a good pace, and we rarely waiting for the group in front of us. Easy access to on course restrooms and bottled water in coolers at each. Our 4 some finished our round in just over 4 hours.
