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.

This course was fun

Enjoyed the day. Course was well maintained. A couple of water hazards did not appear on cart GPS.. Desert course was more interesting than the Oasis.

HIghly Recommended

I got a great rate because fairway seeding was just completed, and carts were cart path only … which creates a lot of walking. But well worth it to play a course that normally is out of my price range. As expected, this is a top notch course that has held up well over the years. Lots of water, but wide enough fairways. Greens were in good shape and the ball ran true. We moved along well, in spite of the extra walking. I'd play again in a second if a good deal could be found.

Nice Chalenging Course

Very scenic course with long par 3s. Only problem is that the course did not advertise Cart Path Only. I know most all courses are Cart path this time of year an most if not all have CP on the booking on Golf Now. Phoenician did not I booked this round specifically because it did not advertise like others that it was CP. I will come back but was a little ticked when we got to the course.

On my rotation of Scottsdale courses

This was my first experience at the Phoenician and I'll put it on my rotation for Scottsdale courses. We played the Oasis and Desert 9s in exactly 4 hours on a Saturday. It was cart path only (likely due to recent over-seeding), so pace of play was more than acceptable of for a resort course. We paid under $100 for each person and had a cart with GPS and access to the driving range. Water came into play on a number of holes and there was very little desert. Some great views on the desert 9. Overall, a good experience for a good price.

This course had exceptional views of the surrounding area. The facilities are exceptional and some of holes are very challenging. Played it twice in less than a week and will definitely return to play the course again.

Great course, good value

My family and I had a great golf experience! Great views while playing, several photo opportunities. Only negative was the pro shop closed at 5:00. We would have much more business with them if we had the chance. Pleasantly surprised the beverage cart was still there for the entire round.

Still a favorite

Because they have three nines, the overseed on one course still allows you to play 18 holes of golf. The course is in great shape and the service is always top notch.

I was delayed 10 minutes on the tee time which is the first time that has ever happened.

If you are playing in Phoenix you need to check this course (and happy hour) out!

overseeding

The course was in pretty good shape. It will be torn up soon for overseeding, but the fairways were filled in nicely. The greens rolled well. We played the same nine twice. I did not mind this, but I did have a problem with the fact that the confirmation made no mention of the closure of the range. Most people rely on a warm up. The fee was expensive for playing the same nine twice and no range balls.

Impressive course!

Despite only being able to play the Canyon course 9 holes twice due to over-seeding on the other courses, we loved the Phoenician! Beautifully maintained, well marked course. Friendly and helpful staff.

We will be back!

Very Pretty Course

Played Oasis/Desert. Course was in very good condition for September in Arizona. Bunkers were very good/excellent. Greens were consistent and firm enough. Fairways and rough were in good shape. And the visual appeal was high. The only negative was that much of the water on the course was dirty/stagnant in appearance, although I did not notice any mosquitoes or bad smell, so it must have been filtering a little bit.
This course was an excellent value for the money. The Phoenician is a top notch establishment, with great customer service. Overall, I would give this experience a 90-95%.

It's an ace!

The course is in great shape, especially for this time of year when many valley courses are feeling the stress of the long summer! A great course to bring your out of town friends, as the views are amazing! Very playable course, but yet can still give you a challenge if you play from the blacks, unless you are a single digit handicapper and long hitter, then you may find it a bit short for your liking.

Go before the rates go up, as it is one of the best values around this time of year!

The Phoenician

Wow, super parcours (Oasis-Canyon) qui est très manicuré. Parcours qui est relativement cours mais parsemé de difficultés comme étangs et nombreuses trappes de sables Les greens roulent beaucoup mais sont parfaits et retiennent bien la balle lors de coup d'approche.

Hot summer at Phoenician

Course is in great shape, especially given Phoenix hot summer months. Greens were fast and rolled great. Only down side was that a beer on the course was $7.50 per can. Bit stiff for a beer.

a must play facility , Outsanding condition.

Had my worst round of scoring in Years ! Uuuuggh , all on Me.That said ,the Phoenician does a fantastic job for its players experience ! The best condition of the bunkers/sand in town , I should know. Fairways are fine & the greens in excellent shape ! They are sneaky quick and rolled true. Saw plenty of groundskeeping staff there who know how to do their job W/golfers around ! Very well done Phenician !
