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.

Definitely not worth the high price

First, there was construction everywhere. Even the grounds crew did not stop with their trimmers etc which was very annoying. In addition, the grounds crew was also spraying which added to the noise pollution with airborne pollutants. Very very disappointing that a course of this caliber couldn’t figure out how to manage its course. Would not go again as the front nine was quite boring. The back nine was only marginally better. It was a definite waste of money and worse time. Sean

Beautiful golf course, terrible greens!

The layout and design of this course were beautiful! That being said I feel like the superintendent obviously doesn't care about the course! Tee boxes and fairways were mediocre and greens were awful! Greens were definitely biggest disappointment for me! Starter told us greens were rolling at 10 when in reality they were probably a 6 or 7 which is no fun! Until they address the greens or lower their fees I won't be back nor will I reccomend it to anyone! Way too overpriced for below average quality! Has massive potential to be great!

True dessert golf

Came from Seattle for a long weekend of dessert golf and this course nailed my expectation. Fantastic layout, beautiful scenery, and extremely nice staff. I will be back to play and probably stay.

Overpriced resort course

This course is ridiculously overpriced, especially for the condition of the greens. Look elsewhere for much better values for your money.

Terrible Pace / Greens Just as Bad

Stuck behind a 5-some for sure plus a rider so basically a group of 6. 2 carts and 2 scooter bikes. Not sure how the starter let this go, he joked to me that they already had a few beers and this was going to be interesting.

Bad Driving range placement

Driving range stretches between two holes. Meaning the range balls litter the fairway which make it tough to determine which one is yours. Other than that, great course and beautiful views.
