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
great course and scenery
helpful staff, beautiful resort and golf course. GolfNow app was responsible for us playing this great course.
Great day to play
Course was in great shape as always. Fairways well cut and greens fast.
The course was excellent!!!
I was very impressed with everything at The Phoenician. From the pro shop staff to the starters and everyone else at the Club. I really enjoyed my round of golf and we finished in 4 hours. Also, it was a perfect weather day as well.
racist cartboy
Don't play here if your skin color or eye shape is different from the haoles.
Very Pretty Corse
Very pretty course in good condition. Staff was professional. Could work on friendliness a little.
Nice resort course, but rather short.
Played the Desert/Canyon combo. The first thing you notice as you drive onto the property is the remarkable grounds. It's a nice resort. The course is not long, I was paired with two other singles and they wanted to play from the gold tees. I would have been better off playing the championship tees. Some cool par 3's with big elevation drops. The tee boxes should have been in better shape for the money it cost to play there though. We must have gotten lucky because the pace of play is supposed to be 4.5 hours and we were done in under 4.
Desert/Canyon 12/30/15
I played as a single but was paired up with a 3 some, played only nine holes (Desert) because I had previous dinner plans. Pace of Plays was busy with only a short wait at times. I had a great time and will play this course again, will recommend to friend.
Slow play
Nothing more to add! The course is very nice but the marshalls need to move folks along
Requires course knowledge
Difficult to play without a member. No yardage markers and restricted cart access on many holes, so gps is useless. Need to play extremely well to enjoy the round.
Do not play this course during the holidays.
Slow play during the holidays. Course is not in good shape. Resort course!!
Nicest course in Scottsdale!!
The course is in superb condition's and beautiful as always. One of my mandatory courses to play when I visit Phoenix. Fun to play yet still a challenge.
Loved the Phoeniician
I was as excited as a little kid at Christmas when I was able to book the Phoenician for $57. It is a beautiful course played in the shadow of Camelback Mountain and was in wonderful condition. It has a funky long cart ride past some other tee boxes between the 7th and 8th holes on the Canyon course. I would have gotten lost had not one of the guys I got paired up with known how to get there. Played above average on the Canyon (4 over) and way below average on the Oasis - but that wasn't the courses fault. Just decided to hit four balls out of bounds on one hole.
Deceiving
On a week long golf holiday in Scottsdale, our group of four rate Phoenician at the bottom of the list. We don't understand the good rating of that course on Golf Now. At the arrival the staff greeting was cold and unfriendly, we almost felt we were given orders by them, the quality of the course and the greens was poor for the price, and the rate they wanted to charge for continuing for the third nine was excessive for that course. At about the same price we had a much better experience at Kierland the day before with the staff and far greater course. We didn't feel treated like welcomed guests. The restaurant and the staff there were Ok though.
Great golf at convenient location
Situated right in Scottsdale on the Camelback mountain flank, the Phoenician has three 9s to play. The conditions were superb and the pace of play was fast, even on a Sunday.
I played the Desert and Canyon courses, both had great views on several holes and were fun to play. There were 2 or 3 greens that were a bit damaged, and a few other areas (mostly rough) that were being repaired, but otherwise everything was top notch.
There was a bit of traffic noise on the last 2 Canyon holes; not a lot of water in general, but the last 3 Canyon holes all feature a lot of it, so watch out!
Would definitely play again and try the Oasis course.
GPS in cart is very helpful for distance, but ads on every hole? That has seriously got to go.
Absolutely beautiful course
Great course plenty of opportunity to hit all the shots.
Challenging course but service could have been better!
Good round but no info at the time of booking- if its cart path only. Even starter did not do his job properly! Some tee boxes in bad shape and noisy because of traffic on the nearby roads. Greens uneven- not rolled- so unpredictable and "catchy".
No water in ball cleaners
Greens were marked, cart girl on back 9 ran out of coffee and cream and several of the ball cleaners had no water. Fairway were nice and the layout of the course is great.
Outstanding
I hiked Camelback mountain in the morning and came down, showered up, and played the Canyon / Oasis courses. The two courses are completely different experiences. The Canyon course climbs up and down the side of Camelback with awesome views and significant elevation changes. Whereas, the Oasis course plays flat like a resort course you would find in Florida (including lots of palm trees).
It being cart path only on the day I played, the flat Oasis course was a welcomed respite after hiking the mountain in the morning and walking back and forth to the cart on the Canyon course.
Both course are in excellent shape and do a great job of combining desert golf with a resort course feel. I specifically travel to the Phoenix area to play desert target golf style courses. This is not quite a WeKoPa or a Grayhawk in that sense, but the views from the Canyon course, the cacti and fauna, and the quality of the course are enough to make it a great experience. I would definitely play it again!
Car path only
The course is beautiful but they have a car path only policy which in some cases can turn into more walking than if you didn't have a cart. If you have
Any leg problems you should take this into consideration .
Bolders
Golf beautiful very peaceful. Cart path only till mid November
