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.

Ok

Too much of a resort course for me.

Lots of nice views but a few holes to close to each other ......few balls landing on our fairway.

GPS navigation was off target the day we played

Not configured from previous day

All in all good course but much nicer courses in the area

Phoenician Review

Course was in good condition. Greens were a little slow for my liking. Many were sloped back to front so it was difficult to get the ball close to the pins.

Cart drinks were stupidly expensive.$25 for two bar rail drinks!

Fairway bunkers had lots of stone, gravel mix with sand. Not good for clubs.

I would play again for the same price!

wife enjoyed it.

Great day with my Wife and Son

This was a wonderful day to spend with my wife and son. I am visiting My son and daughter in law ( she had to work today) and the three of us had a great day. The weather was cool to start but turned out to be just perfect. Course was in nice shape and we finished 18 holes in 3 hrs 20 mins.

Phoenician Panorma

Stunning golf course with magnificent views. Well maintained and friendly, helpful staff. I kept looking forward to each hole as they came because each one was different and presented it's own set of challenges. There are many elevation changes as part of this course is set right into the mountain side. I played the Desert/Canyon combination. Greens were a little slow to begin due to recent overseeding but as the day heated up they picked up a little speed. Absolutely loved this course and can't wait to go back.

you won't believe this is a troon course!

this course is a dangerous layout and typically in terrible shape. the golfers are hacks and the pace of play was horrible. leave this one to the fools that come here in the winter and don't mind overpaying for a goat track. some of the greens were sod, some were dirt, and the bunker by the range was full of balls - all of which they blamed on a storm the night before! what?

bring your own gps since the one in the cart is a sales tool for people that came for a massage or a burger instead of golf.

the only thing going for this course is the real estate. they should bulldoze it and build condos.

Good course with some GREAT views

Plays between overseeding and start of the season. Course in the shape I expected, greens were shaggy & slow, fairways & rough were also a little long. Cart path only so pace reflected that. Layout has some spectacular views w/ 2 very short par 3's with elevated tees on the slope of Camelback Mtn worth the price for the views alone. The short yardage of the course Ian made up for with water & bunkering in the short par 4's. I hit 4 iron off the tee a few times leaving 100 yards or less in.

Biggest gripe was the ranger. We what brief waits in every shot on the front, stopped to hit the restrooms at the turn, & then had the ranger waiting for USB on the 10th tee telling us we were behind pace. We promptly caught up on the next hole. That ticked me off. If I'd been paying peak season rates I would have given the pro shop an earful.

While I recommend it as a 'play it once while in PHX' course, I wouldn't pay peak season rates. It is worth $80 - $90 or so, IMHO.

Amazing golf course

The course was beautiful, but fairly slow round Luke most resort style courses in the afternoon. Generally I'm ok with slow rounds, but the staff here really tried to push the pace of play, to the extent that the Marshall told us that we were slowing the round up when we had to wait for the group in front of us for 90% of our shots on the front nine...

Great course, fun track

Played on a Tuesday in early September for a great price. Absolutely beautiful course with very friendly staff - cart girl was terrific fun in particular. Pretty quiet time so pace of play was excellent. Greens run very true but can be a test to properly read - all but one were in good shape, especially for September. Course is quite short so as long as you keep the drive in play, you will have a reasonable approach shot to the green. One of the nicest layouts we've played in Phoenix area - would definitely go back again.

Great Little Course

Great little course with some interesting par 3 holes that usually had a severe elevation drop to the green. Very satisfying if you hit the green. Plays longer on most holes due to elevation changes. Some blind shots to the greens uphill at times made club selection a challenge. I started on the back tees but moved up to the middle tees after a couple of holes. Tee to green the course was perfect. Would have played it twice if I had more time. Play early to beat the heat this time of year.

This birds got wings!

What an outstanding layout! Played Canyon/Oasis. Oasis 9 reminded me of Ocotillo G.R.! The Canyon 9 reminded me of Black Gold in California; lot's of blind tee shots.

For a short (apprx 6100 yards) course/configuration, the degree of difficulty is right up there for shot placement and course management!

Definitely a return engagement!
