The Phoenician Golf Club

I have played the phoenician numerous times and it did not let me down again.
course was in very good shape, greens smooth and rolled true.
value for the dollar spent is good.
I ate at the restaurant at the resort and that is very pricey.The buffet was not worth $29 in my opinion.
Paired up with a good group made for a good day

course is in great shape. Generally plays short, but has a lot of challenges around the greens. The soft sand in green side bunkers takes some adjusting to. Reading greens with a lot of slope also added to the fun.

While most Phoenix / Scottsdale area courses have done a great job of improving pace of play these guys didn't seem to care. 2 1/2 hr to play front 9 with no marshall in sight. Improved somewhat on back nine with marshalls that just came on duty trying to catch up for their co-workers. Finally finished in 4:40 - not great for a 6000 yd course. Condition of course was good except for a few tee boxes (too small an area for short Par 3's). Because of slow play, but mainly their attitude about it I will not be returning here - too many other options in the area.

The conditions were excellent and the course fair but challenging..unfortunately it was Sunday afternoon and the pace of play slower than I like...well over 4.5 hours. A great place to play but understand pace may be slow.

The Phoenician Oasis and Desert nines are extremely well maintained and provide the experience you'd expect from resort golf. The staff is very attentive and pleasant and the pace of play was better than expected for a Saturday.
My only complaint with the Phoenician is with the layout. Long, difficult par threes on the Oasis nine, short par fours and fives on both nines. I suppose I expected more of a mix of short and long holes, but most of the par fours are 370 yards or less, so not many opportunities to hit the driver. One par four on the Desert nine I hit 8-iron, sand wedge (312 yards on the card, played 295, downhill off the tee)...a little odd playing from what would be the white tees on most courses (Phoenician tees).

Course condition excellent, a well manicured track. Narrow with great views. Probably best suited to families and mid to high handicap players. A $10 hot dog off the beverage cart is a little steep, but it is a resort course. The track is just very short for better players.

I have only great things to say about this course. Hope you choose to experience it.

Beautiful course only downside was cart path only which is the norm.

We enjoyed our day. The pace was a little over 4 hours. The course was challenging but fair.

Fast greens and well-manicured fairways. Beautiful golf course.

This was my first time playing this course and it was fantastic! I highly recommend this course.

Great variety of holes and used nearly every club in my bag. Greens rolled true but often would not hold short irons. Canyon 1 was lay up hole, but I really want to crank driver on my first shot of day.

I played the Phoenician with an 8:27 start time. Course is well maintained, some very pretty vistas and the company was excellent - good golfers and very observant of the etiquette of the game. Staff was very friendly. The best thing about the earlier times is that you can finish in 4:15 to 4:30. Any later and there are two or three groups on a hole and it turns into a 6 hour round.

Greens were very nice. The practice facilities were top notch.

The course was great and in perfect condition, the 19th hole was perfect also with extremly good service. But on the course the staff was not as helpful and made the experiance not to the standing we had hoped

Beautiful views of Phoenix. Good pace of play. Greens could be a little quicker but still very nice and true. Be prepared for a few very sloping fairways. Great day

Just a beautiful course this is. I prefer the Oasis and the Desert the Canyon which i always get is harder at least for me. I was so bummed on my score

I would like to play the Canyon course next time. I had a great time at Oasis/Desert. I liked Desert better.

Great resort course with amazing views of the valley a must to play when in phoenix area..

My wife and I chose this golf course by careful screening thru Golfnow.com, It turned out to be a memorable experience. The condition of the fairway and green are impeccable. The ambience of the total facility was lavishly decorated with ornament desert plantation and palm trees, it really is inviting to enjoy the stay. Staff is very friendly. The course is a bit challenging but I kept my average score which made me very happy. It was later learned from my local friend that it one of the few rated 3 stars by Michelin,well worth it.,
