Rating 76.0
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.

Rained Out
Great resort course. Loved the forgiving play. Did NOT like the layout. Crazy to drive all over the place to find hole #10! Sadly we were rained out as I would have enjoyed finishing the round.

Beautiful resort
Nice course with lots of condos, houses, villas and hotel. Front nine is narrow and it looks like they have built too many properties around the golf course. Be straight or your ball will be in a house. Tough greens. We viewed them as fast. Back nine nicer and offers some nicer views.
We played the back tees on the front nine and moved up a tee box for the back, which was a good decision as it allowed us to be more consistent.

Back 9 Makes it kinda Worth It
Great course. The greens rolled true. The back 9 going up the mountain has some killer views. Front 9 was nice but nothing spectacular. I think it’s a value call, Scottsdale winter prices is what it is. I would definitely play it again but not at such a premium cost for the green fees.
