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.

Hole in One

My son & I were in Scottsdale for a guys golf trip and I decided to play the Phoenician. The course was beautifully manicured and picturesque. The greens were rye over seed for winter and they were smooth and nice. Some of the pin placements weren't great and the guests didn't repair their ball marks but that's not unusual for a resort course. The highlight for the day was I made my first hole in one on the 8th hole Canyon Course. We had a blast & I'd recommend it to aanyone looking for an awesome resort golf experience

Lucky Day

The course is on par (pun intended) with some of the nicest I've played. A true "resort course" where staff and grounds crew attend to your every need. Conditions were perfect and I finished the round in just UNDER three hours. However, the staff told me I was lucky, that the course is usually much more crowded and the pace substantially slower. I also chose a tee time with a lower cost, but they let me go whenever I was ready. I highly recommend this course for the seasoned golfer and NOT the novice. You can lose a lot of balls here if you don't hit them straight. Also a lot of blind water (even though it shows on the GPS).

Frosty!

Phoenix Temps in the 30's and sun shining bright. A frost delay cobbled up the morning start times, but the staff got things on track, and we started on time at around noon..

Beautiful Views on the Desert 9.

Only issues were the transitions between the 9's - they did not flow well and required backtracking; and the pro shop was closed by the time we returned. With as much non-golf activity at this location has (10 restaurants, multiple hotel properties, Tennis, etc.), i would have kept the store open into the evening dinner crowd. - missed out on a few Benjamins, from our foursome.

On course beverage cart (4 passes during the 18) and restrooms (marked on scorecard) are continuously available.

Great course

I signed up for the first tee time but was bumped to the second tee time after waiting on a frost delay for an hour. The group they put before us was incredibly slow and I had to quit after 9 holes.

I have played here before and think the course and amenities are great. The pace of play is just too slow for resort golf.

Great day!

Saved $40 booking on Golf Now! That was a great start. When I arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful. On the range we were hitting off grass rather than mats. (which is always nice!) Played on a Sunday and still started on time and finished in 4 hours 10 minutes! Great track. Plenty of challenges; water, sand, blind shots, etc. Greens were a good size not to small or too big. Played with a member and the course knowledge was helpful. They have a few twist and turns that you really can't see on the yardage book. NO GPS ON CARTS...that surprised me a bit! The course didn't seem to be marked all that well for yardages. However, I always travel with my range finder and all was good.

At $100 it can't be beat!

We eat at the sports bar above the pro-shop...great fare! Tasty!

Golf the way it was meant to be

Played Oasis and Canyon. Course was in great shape, greens were moderately fast and rolled true. Great golfing experience with friends who were visiting from out of town. Got backed up a little on the Canyon 9 from the 4 to 7th hole. Bistro wasn't up to their usual standards, hopefully it was just an off day for them. Food was cold, overpriced and under cooked.

A good resort course for women.

My only fault with the Phoenician would be that at times their signage was confusing.. On one hole the tees were elevated and it was not clear from the cart path which tees were up there.

Nice experience

Played Oasis and Desert 9s. Course was in great shape - would be better if pitch marks were fixed. Pace was ok but course was crowded for a weekday afternoon. A few holes were really goofy and obviously space constrained. I would go back for the highly discounted rate I paid - at full price would go somewhere else.

All around great course

2nd time playing. Facilities and course are top notch; everyone's super friendly. Had the breakfast burrito and it was great. One of the best courses for the cost. No wonder President Obama stays and plays there!! Have been going to Phoenix annually for 8 years and it's now one we put as a must play each year!

Will not play again.

This course, no matter which nine holes you play, is not worth your time and money. Pace of play was very very slow. Due to an "outside" event, one of the nines that we had signed up to play was not available. On our second nine, one of the teaching pros was giving an on course lesson to what appeared to be a fairly new golfer. Great to see that someone new is learning to play golf, but on course playing lessons at 11:00 am is a bad practice. Both nines played were very tricked up. Seemed they did everything they could to create 27 holes when a good 18 would have been a better plan. Bottom line, will not play this course again.
