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.

Fun course to play

Bag drop guys were great. Pro shop cashier was very friendly and welcoming. We talked about changes in the course since this course used to be 3 nine hole courses and is now one 18 hole. Well managed crew. I thanked all 6 ground crew workers that I passed by while on the course. Greens ,sand ,fairways were perfect today. I thanked them for the hard work with maintaining this beautiful place. Cart girl was very kind and friendly. At the end the cart guys thanked me warmly and invited me to return soon. I will , this is a well run golf course, with nice staff working here at Phoenician.

Very nice...

Lovey place. The entire resort was shut down except the golf course and what a spectacular course it is. Everything is so nice and well cared for. Truly a very upscale locale.

Course is not overly challenging except the greens are pretty. I would play there everyday if I could.

Perfect round of golf

My friend and I played The Phoenician for the first time since the redesign. The course looks great and was in outstanding condition. The staff was very friendly even in the crazy times we are in. There were some super fun holes with outstanding views, especially on the back 9 when you get up in the mountains. I am a 10 index and played the front 9, 2 over par. I let the seltzers get the best of me and blew up the back 9, +14!!!

37 on the front, 50 on the back. The back was a little tougher but I also got a little too loose! (He was driving and it was a Friday afternoon so I had a few)

I would highly recommend this course!

Terrific

Everything for trouble right in front of you. The greens are where it’s at on this course for myself had trouble picking the breaks on putts. The course marshall was terrific was telling us to make sure and enjoy our round we were a twosome so was easy to keep up played round in just under 4 hours. Got deal with golf now made the price very worth while.

Best golf experience

I took my brother from out of town.

He said, even before we started, one of the picture perfect courses he had ever seen.

Thin we played. We felt guilty for taking a golf swing.

Course conditions were perfect.

Great day!

Upgraded Course

Since reopening after a redesign that reduced the total number of holes from 27 to 18 the Phoenician has been in very good shape and the new layout is very good. The conditioning in early December was solid with greens a bit on the slow side but the overseed course wide including rough has a nice look to it. The layout has some unmatchable views for being so close to downtown Phoenix. Great service and location is tough to beat. Expensive sticker price but you are paying for location, amentities and a well maintained course. Highly recommended if you can get a twilight rate or dynamic pricing rate online.

A Tale off Two Nines

Played on a Sunday afternoon during a winter getaway. Staff was incredibly friendly. Every need was an easy ask. Course in beautiful shape.

Front nine was relatively flat and desert style though you could miss a bit and survive. Back nine saw a steady climb into the stratosphere with the mountains on one side and the cityscape in the other lending a panoramic wrapper to the round.

Greens were consistently tough with several multi tiered and plenty of undulations.

If you can’t enjoy this course, you really should re-think what you’re looking for in a track.

Sidebar: If you’re thinking about Padre and/or Ambiente, save yourself the time and money and come here; there’s no comparison.
