The Phoenician Golf Club

An amazing round. The course was in great shape and the staff was first rate. The pace of play was perfect and we never felt rushed. We will certainly add it to our regular rotation.

It will cost you $$ in terms of golf balls but, it really worth it.

Hard to focus on golf with such spectacular surroundings.

I definitely include The Phoenician as one of my favorites in AZ, and the fact that it is Troon Managed is a plus, however, the outside service this visit was subpar at best (had to beg someone to get our bags that were sitting alone at Bag Drop for 10+ minutes) (Not good as my set is NEW and expensive) and additionally I think they did not keep track of who was going where at the turn...We got very backed up after flying through the front nine in under 2 hours. I love the facility, courses and love the resort, but both the guys in the golf shop and the outside service folks need to step up their game as far as friendliness, attention to guests & pace of play.

This course has the BEST staff. ..friendly, helpful. This is my 2nd play at The Phoenician. First was last Fall at an outing for a group I lead. The Manager was out at the entrance to greet all of the players and help the other staff put bags on carts, etc. Two totally wonderful experiences on these fabulous courses!

Well maintained course. Greens were in great shape. Challenging course but with plenty of room to lay up and play it safe, but that's not my game. I would definitely play here again or recommend it to friends.

The desert course greens were in poor shape while the canyon was much better not sure why as I've played here before. Pace was fine as they have a ranger to check for slow play.

A super course with great service and a challenge for club golfers.

Course Good food and drinks not nice too expensive

My wife and I played the course for the first time. The course conditions were excellent - grass was in great shape for the end of the high season. It was difficult to follow the course direction and know what to expect. This led to several delays going up to scout whet the next shot should be. The course is to some extent 'shoehorned' in to a small area so fairways are adjacent to each other. Course is short, so the tight conditions and difficult greens offer the course protection. Hole 8 on the Desert 9 was restricted to the front tees which was disappointing. Price seemed slightly high for the layout. Still had a good time and would play again as it should be much more playable once you know the layout.

This is a "must play"..........................................

Pace was a little slow on the back, but being a weekend that is pretty normal. Greens is great shape. Cool views of the city, Camelback and Tempe from the Canyon nine

Played Desert/Canyon nines on a gorgeous Friday a.m. - course was crowded but pace was fine (4.5 hrs). Desert by far the best nine with some incredible views from the side of Camelback Mtn., Canyon course was good but holes not quite as interesting as Desert. Course was in great shape. Resort itself was beautiful, but F&B prices on course were ridiculous ($6 for an Arnold Palmer). Paid $120 which was in line with rates for that time of year for that caliber of course (a notch below the high end public courses like Troon North and Grayhawk). Don't be fooled by shorter yardage - it's a challenging par 70.

Brought my teenage son out for his first round of desert golf. This place is simply beautiful. But be prepared for a tough test of golf. Don't get suckered into to playing the tips either - the elevation changes, some tight spots where you can't hit driver, and the par of 70 make it play much longer. Move up a tee box and have a great time.

This course was in absolutety excellent condition!
I did find it played a little shorter than I would have liked but there was good challenge around the greens

The resort itself was great staff very friendly and helpful

Course was in very good shape and the play for first nine was under 2 hours. Caught up to a shotgun group celebrating St. Patrick's day at the turn and the play slowed to almost a 3 hour back nine. Quit and got a refund. Staff was very accommodating.

Primo course in top condition!
Tough. Don't look at yardage, look at slope.
Great views from a couple pars threes that are greatly elevated.
Played less than splendidly(85) from back tees. My fault. Like to break 80 here.

A beautiful course, the staff was very friendly and played in less than 4 hours 15 minutes. The view around the course was great.

In great shape; got good deal on golf now, good greens, nice views

The golf course is beautiful and was in great shape. The setting is beautiful. Refreshment carts came around frequently. The lady in the pro shop was very professional and friendly.
