Course Highlights
The Phoenician delivers a visually stunning layout with immaculate fairways and a dramatic back nine running along Camelback Mountain. Exceptionally friendly staff, smooth pace of play, and well-maintained conditions make this resort course consistently worth the visit.

About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Style Traditional
Par 71
Length 6518 yards
Slope 135
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.

Fairway trouble

The fairways are in really bad shape! I’ve played this course for years and ithe fairways are definitely in need of some serious attention, especially for this price point. I really love this property and I hope they can fix it!

Great Resort Course

I played this course with my father over the weekend. He is from out of town. We have played several courses, including Quintero, Verrado, We Ko Pa etc and while I have golf this course several times and it is one of my favorites. He say his favorite course he has golfed in the valley. It is very friendly resort course with some unique holes and the back 9 has a beautiful view of Phoenix.

Great course, amenities weak

The course was amazing and worth every penny. I do think that the expectations of an enhanced golf experience at a place like the Phoenician is not unreasonable. There was no cart person at all the entire day despite being told there would be one. It might seem small but we were out for a great time and because of the rush to sunset didn’t have the time to stop at the turn. It made a great experience okay in our eyes as there are other courses that are competitive in tjis price range or higher that would not eliminate that add-on.

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.
