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.

Amazing views!

we went in late sept. 24. it was 105. that was the worst of it though. being right at the base of camelback you eventually work your way up high enough to see the valley south towards Phoenix. I can only imagine what it looks like at night. great course. makes you think about your tee shot instead of just pulling the driver every hole. great bar too. for $150.00 it's a deal. (almost every course worth playing down there is $150.00 or more)

Not worth the cost

$200 afternoon tee time you expect the best. We could play alot better courses two times for the same amount in summer. Hot afternoon golf and cart attendant was no where to be found and the snack shop was closed so no beverages. Course in decent shape but not worth $200 summer tee time.

Ehhh

Got it for $60 which didn’t make it too bad.

Some bare tee boxes and spots on fairway- layout wasn’t too fun.

Okay course in my opinion.

The ratings on GolfNow do not reflect the conditions of the course as I would not rate the course close to a five of five stars. Probably rated about 3 and 1/2 stars as a bunkers were in rough shape The greens were okay
