Desert/Canyon at Phoenician, The

My wife and I play every time we are visiting Scottsdale. Great course for all levels of play. The course is always well maintained and staff is exceptional.

As soon as I made the turn into the resort I was in awe. Being from the east coast of Canada this was a true dessert experience. The conditions were perfect and the facility and staff were perfect! Would highly recommend.

While the course is in great shape, although for a resort you’d expect it to be, the overall layout is a bit contrived. It was clearly panned around the homes and hotels, so some of the holes are odd or too short. Pace of play was fine on the front but the back slowed down considerably - probably because there are lots of drivable par 4s or short 5s. Fun day playing but not an exceptional course.

This course is in beautiful shape. There’s a ton of construction surrounding the course, but the course conditions and views of the entire Phoenix area from the back 9 are amazing. Proximity to Camelback mountain is great. Getting this course for a daily deal rate, I would play this course every day.

Amazing course. Nice layout, fair yet challenging. Played late pm and couldn’t finish the last hole. Pace was very slow in back nine

Conditions were perfect. A bit of slow pace in the back nine though

Very nice layout. Very tricky greens. Not all break towards the valley. Very enjoyable

Fun round. Liked how different the front & back were. Great views. All the ongoing construction around the course did take away from the overall experience. Would play again.

I have to say that this course is in beautiful condition with tons of great views. Despite some construction of new buildings on a couple holes.

Had a bad day driving and paid the price with some lost balls and strokes. If you keep it in fairway it's a reasonable course.

Love the resort for years and finally played here and really enjoyed it all.

Beautiful course. Keep your driver in fairway or it gets dicey. Greens a little slowish. Had group with two walkers in front of us. Which slowed us down multiple times. Not sure why that's allowed with some of the huge gaps between green to tees.

Course was nice! I’m just not a fan of playing fairways sandwiched by houses. But Conditions were amazing everything green nice bunkers. The Vack nine opened up with no housing but looks like it coming as construction is on its way. Definitely play your ball towards the mountains on the back everything slopes down. Beautiful views! But just me. Not a fan having to drive a 1/4 mile to the next tee.

Course is great if you can get on for $150 or less. Way too slow of play to be charged in the upper $200's.

the course was great - but total lack of staff and professionalism. The pace of play was the worst I have ever seen at this level of golf course.
