Style Traditional
Par 71
Length 6518 yards
Slope 135
Rating 76.0

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.

Best course in Phoenix

The Phoenician is definitely one of the very courses in ohx. I was able to get on and off quickly. Staff was great. Covered parking. The only thing I can complain about is the greens were a little slower due to summer greens. But everything was immaculate. And I got on for cheaper than a few other garbage courses I played this week. I will definitely come back and in prime season too. The hotel amenities looked so nice I will bring the wife with me next time so she can enjoy the spa.

Great course

Course in good sha0e considering the dry and hot season.

You will see the aeration marks on the greens from the most recent session that can affect your putting.

Nice course with the back 9 is a different theme than the front 9 due to it mountain side layout.

Course management is needed for this course. Very challenging and worth playing.

Resort quality shines

There’s something about playing at an A+ quality course & resort. From the driving range, to the practice green, you feel like you could to raise your game. The course was a bit damp but if that was my only complaint, slap me. The pace of play equaled three hours as I was a solo golfer. Even the geese were polite and respectful.

The Phoenician is in a really beautiful area. The staff was great and the course was in wonderful condition. It is a short, resort style course. Our foursome had a blast. I would highly recommend this course. The back 9 is awesome, runs right along Camelback Mountain. I hope to go back someday.

Great resort course

Not super long, but great resort course with challenging holes. Greens and most fairways were in great shape for July. There were 2 holes with cart path only due to repairs, but overall very good!

Fun for Resort Golf

Overall loved the course. They layout was better than a lot of resort courses. Definitely a few fun holes. The conditions weren't the best I've seen, but the places where the Fairway was patchy never messed with my game. The greens were still solid. Bunkers nice sand. The amenities were top tier.
