The Phoenician Golf Club
About
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.

Canyon Course...tee off towards Camelback Mtn. Photo submitted by u000001276894 on 09/24/2012
Front 9 A- Back 9 D
Front 9 is in spectacular shape. Greens are recovering very well. Rolling smooth and fast (around 10). Fairways across the whole course are in great shape, as well as bunkers. Back 9 needs a few more weeks before it is anywhere near the front 9 condition. I’d ask to play front 9 twice!
Real golf course in the summer
First time playing the new design. Tee boxes are in good shape, greens are quick, the course does show signs of sun damage but to be expected this time of year.
Thank you for your feedback. Hopefully you stayed cool in that AZ Summer heat... come back and play soon!
Thank you for your 5 star review! Come back and play again soon!
Greens are challenging
Fairways were in great shape. Greens were hard and fast adding To the challenge of them being very undulating. Club house and amenities were very nice. The only knock is layout of course due to renovation down to 18 holes. There was no flow to setup.
Thank you for the review. We are glad to hear the course was in great shape and you had a nice experience!
Great Course
The course layout us awesome. The Phoenician has invested well in ensuring holders have a great experience.
Thank you for the 5 star review. We strive to deliver an impeccable experience to our customers and glad this was the case for you. Come back and play again soon!
Awesome!
This was my first time playing this course since the renovation and it did not disappoint. One of my favorite courses in Arizona, beautiful landscape and some challenging holes. I would definitely recommend this course.
Thank you for the awesome review! We are so glad to hear your experience was amazing and you enjoyed the course!
Redone
Obviously still some construction and some fixing happening, but loved the experience. Great facilities and in great shape. Played it for the same price as Orange Tree and was not even comparable how much better Phoenician is. Great place, I will be back
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are so happy to hear you had an amazing time here at The Phoenician!
All round excellence
Course in great condition lush fairways desert sand bikers wet not too penalizing
Greens were undulating and ran true quick down hill but very fair
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you had a great experience and enjoyed the golf course!
its a resort course
for a beginner to intermediate it would be an ok place to play and its sad that someone below paid $200 to play it as its not worth that amount.
played in an organized event so course set up, as expected , was tough with hard to reach pins.
practice facility was adequate, not great. course condition was ok but not well manicured and a bit over watered.
the greens were trampoline tiff ( not a fan) so there were no ball marks but they were not pure and were very spotty and distressed in a lot of areas. greens had a lot of undulation and they tended to be small which required second shot precision. bunkers were perhaps the best part of the course.
cart girl was nice but grill had closed before round was finished....which was odd.
if you stay there play it. if its on your must play list- good luck.
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear your experience wasn't up to par. We hope next time you come to play, it will be even better!
Not the course it used to be
$140 USD when greens top dressed and punched. Very average shape - too bad. Used to love this course but now without the Canyon 9 it’s really just an average course. Beware when booking to check green status, etc.
Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate your concerns and will make sure to address it now on. Thank you!
As Good as it Gets
After having lunch at the Tavern just above the Phoenician’s putting green and first hole, I convinced my wife that I had to golf there. Next day I did. The entire course was in fantastic shape, from the tee boxes, the fairways and onto the greens. The greens were fast and difficult but fair. The bouganvilias were in full bloom adding to the beauty of the course. The staff was friendly and helpful. I’ve been lucky to have golfed several times at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas and Wolf Creek in Mesquite, Nevada and now rank The Phoenician right up there with them!
Beautiful
What a lovely layout, and view from the top.
The fairways were terrific and greens were fast
but not like glass- the ball would hold the line well.
Great course
Great course staff is great new course layout is different for sure love 17 and 18 . Always have a good time and the greens rolled true .
Not a 200 dollar per round course
We booked about 3 weeks ago through Golf Now to play today. Course conditions were not good, with a number of fairways in bad shape. It felt like we were playing on a muni, as opposed to the most expensive course on this trip. For the dough we paid I was expecting an outstanding experience. There are many courses in the Phoenix area I would recommend, but this is not one of them.
Second time this week we have played the Venetian, and we think it’s terrific
Second time this week we have played the Venetian, and we think it’s terrific. Highly recommended!!
Great course! Incredible condition, great staff, well worth the hot deal!
Beautiful course
The course is apparently all new, and although it was lovely and in excellent condition, the layout made for a lot of driving between holes. Will definitely go back.
Not what it used to be
Last time we played here was maybe two years ago, a beautiful course back then. We didn't know they had sold 9-hole since. The best 9 hole of the course were gone and none of our watches worked (I guess it was our own fault for not updating). The worst part is cart on path only, so a lot of walking back and forth. I never felt this exhausted at the end of a game.
Great course, great condition, design redo a success!
Enjoyed the new Phoenician course with redesign of holes. Good special rate and staff very friendly. Played back nine first in 1 hour 15 minutes, then joined a threesome on hole 5. Played under 3 1/2 hours and really enjoyed the quality conditions and fairness of the course.
Not Bad
Walked this course with some friends in the afternoon. Felt like we had the place to ourselves until the last couple holes. A handful of these greens were sodded towards the end of the recent renovations because they ran out of time for grow-in. These greens were a bit soggy, but should firm up over the next few months. The conditions were good, but beyond the views, this course just didn't feel memorable. Had fun overall however. Wouldn't bring high-handicappers on busy days.
