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.

Golfer Reviews
Greens were very good for January.
Course layout was confusing in places. One of staff in pro shop was less than friendly especially compared with other staff. Good pace of play. Overall, enjoyable.
impressive
Excellent couse. Played Desert and Canyon. Slowed by 5 some ahead of us. Found putting difficult.
Perfect for medium to high handicap
Shorter course with plenty of landing room area for t shots but difficult enough to satisfy the lower handicap golfers. the Fairways and Greens were in great shape. Very nice practice facilities. Will return for sure.
great course and scenery
helpful staff, beautiful resort and golf course. GolfNow app was responsible for us playing this great course.
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.
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.
Why Not? Do those factors effect your golf game?
