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 but many better choices for same price

Course is short and narrow . A couple of spectacular par 3 holes, but overall conditions of the greens were poor. Fairways were good shape. Not bad for the money, but for this time of year there are many nice courses that are in much better conditions for about same amount of money.

Play it again soon

Fantastic course layout, fairways in great shape, but the greens could use some TLC. Played 18 on a warm June morning, second foursome off the 1st tee on the Oasis course. Expected water coolers every three or four holes, typical for most Phoenix area courses, but found none. Will most certainly play again this summer. Great value for the green fees paid.

NOT A TRADITIONAL COURSE

This is a great course, lots of up and downs. Well taken care of. The Phoenician must hold some sort of record for the number of landscape maintenance workers on the course. Every hole I played had some sort of activity with landscaping maintenance. The desert 9 was interesting. The canyon 9 was stacked fairways back and forth up the mountain. Great views and great service but personally would not frequent this course from strictly a golf viewpoint. I kept looking for the dinosaurs and windmills.

Phoenician

Having played the Phoenician several times before, I was looking forward to the round and was expecting good conditions. I am aware that this is a transition time on the course, and expected dried out greens in order to prepare for aerofication. However, I was very disappointed with the conditions of the fairways, with many brown spots. Not worth the money unless you great a good deal under $20.

First time at PGC. Very fun course. A taste of desert golf but fair and not penal like others I've played. Kind of short but bunkering makes up for it. Got great rate on golfnow.

The course has great scenery and views

We played the middle tees (6000 yards), but don't be fooled by the shorter distance, if you are not hitting straight the desert will grab your ball on numerous holes. Due to the slopes of the fairways, they are sometimes effectively half as wide as they appear from the tee unless you can hit a fade or draw when needed. Greens were in good shape excepting a lot of unfixed ball marks. The constant challenge with Phoenician is reading the greens, the Camelback mountain slope makes most balls break away from it, even when it appears the greens are slanting toward the mountain. The cart GPS was incorrect up to 20 yards at times, but did not impact us as we had rangefinders anyway. I always enjoy the Phoenician just for the stunning views, and the price was great at $47. Two months ago you would have paid $150 or more. This course will force you to concentrate on hitting the fairway more than most, but when you go back to a course not as tight, you'll feel like you're playing in a city park.

Just OK

As one might expect for a resort course, this is 27 holes squeezed into odd space restrictions, which results in too many bad holes. Course is pleasant and well maintained but it is not a great course.

This course was in excellent shape. The greens were very fast and the fairways were well maintained. There are some very good elevation changes that gave great views of the valley and city of Phoenix. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Good Coursr

Good course. Need rangers to be more visible

People started slowing way down on back nine.

Great greens am fairways. In a lot of places looks like a living room carpet.

On the short side, but challenged you to place some shots to stay out of the desert.
