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
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 .
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.
John Buechler's Chandler Review
Way over priced for the experience. I won't ever return.
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.
Good
Very good but over seed The staff was very good but don't like from a play extremely slow
Scenic views and convenient location
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.
Awesome round of golf!
Each hole of this course had its own personality and forced you to use every shot you have in the bag! Great experience!
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!
Phoenician Golf
Great course in excellent shape. At times the slope of the fairways reminds me of golfing in Maui on the slopes of a volcano.
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%.
