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.

Twilight Round

Lovely course in great condition. Not very long but a good mix of holes. Short par threes that use the 'mountain' very well. We played 'twilight' and ran out of light for the 18th hole. Managed to walk the hole and it was very good and had many challenges.

Cart Path only makes this course difficult

We had a great round but the cart path only rule seemed to slow down play and the foursome behind us hit over our heads several times.

Would say they need to add a few things, e.g. GPS on cart, drive on fairways and more yardage markers. These additions would make it a great course.

Desert plant variety was awesome

Course was over seeding so it was cart path only and condition not that great. Lots of water hazards on oasis nine and great views on Desert nine. Overall worth the money because of the great desert plant life on the grounds. Most examples of plants were there along with some great golf holes.

Beautiful

The Phoenician golf course is a particularly beautiful course. It Winds all around Camelback Mountain. The course is in good shape and the staff is lovely. Play was a little slow on this day because of over seeding so play was on cart path only. This required a lot more walking and more time, but that will soon be over.

Love Luv Love This Place

This is one of my favorite places to play golf. This is golf at it's best. The staff is very accommodating. From the moment you arrive they greet you a make you feel that you are going to have a great day. The courses speak for themselves all you have to do is play them you will love them. there are 27 hole all have unique features that set up to say wow i must do that again. There are plenty of looks ( uphill, downhill ,dogleg left, dogleg right. water, blind shots, huge undulating greens. bodacious sand traps and a wide variety of challenges that will make you have a memorable adventure at one of the premiere golf facility resorts in the world.

Slow play at 9 holes only

Disappointing to learn at the resort only, that we had to play not an 18 hole course but 2x 9 holes at the Canyon course.
Golfnow didn't mention anything on the website about that by selling the round as " Phoenician Canyon/Oasis ", bad service!
We had to wait at each of the 18 holes, when I mentioned that returning to the bag drop after 18 holes, I only got an impertinent answer!
Nice view on some of the holes.
I doubt to come back

An error in the listing

The GolfNow posting said that I'd be playing 2 different 9s (of the 3 courses at the facility) but when I arrived at the course I was told that only 1 of the 9s was open and that the same 9 was to be played twice. No refund was offered, but we were told we'd be 'comped' anything that was on the beverage cart. This turned out not to be the case - only a single beverage was offered to us. Excuse me but a free beer does not make up for someone's error.

Stacked up the side of the mountain

Fairways run parallel for three of the holes. Had a few balls hit into our group. Bunkers were in bad condition as well. I know it's overseed but it you only have one of the three nines open I expected it to be in better condition. Course was scenic but honestly other than the over water par threes I didn't enjoy the layout.

Great course

The course was in good shape and somewhat challenging. The pace of play was horrible. We were backed up 3 groups deep at a few holes, but overall it was an enjoyable round.

Fun course for all golfers

While The Phoenician golf course isn't a long course, it still has it's unique character. Several holes were very fun to play and many required a fairly well placed tee shot to be able to stay in the fairway or to stay out of trouble. There are several holes that play about 500 yards from the back tees so you will still use your driver about half of the time, but fairway woods off of tees isn't unheard of. Some of the Par 3's are very challenging and long with some good elevation changes. Greens were very well maintained and some were very tough to putt on. One of the guys in my group had a 5 putt on one of the greens because the pin was placed in a very difficult spot and if you ran your putt past the hole more than a foot, it was going to the front edge. The course definitely challenges your short game at times. Overall, I would recommend this course! Great views of the valley on several holes as well!

This course was beautiful. The Canyon 9 was outstanding. One of the nicest I have ever played. The Desert 9 was a little tricky but still nice. Staff was very polite and helpful. Price on Golf Now was fantastic. If I lived in the valley I would play this course often.
