Editor's Note: Course closed in 2018. See The Phoenician Golf Club listing.

The Phoenician resort is known for its three unique nines, which offer not three challenging 18-hole combination but also stunning views of the Valley of the Sun. The Desert/Canyon Course is the most requested layout because of its particularly stunning vistas. The Desert Course is known for its dramatic elevation changes that climb up to the Canyon nine situated on the southern slope of Camelback Mountain. The golf course is not long but it proves that holes don't have to be lengthy to provide a good challenge. Golfers will need careful strategy as well as sharp short game skills in order to take on the water hazards and strategically placed bunkers. The par-4 third hole on the Desert nine is particularly tricky thanks to a green that is surrounded on nearly all of its sides.

Beautiful Course

Great course and layout. $65 rate as a hot deal of Golf Now made it very attractive. Played as a single and did catch up to a twosome at one point, but just allowed me to work on game a little. Saw bev cart 4 times and a Marshall did stop by and said they moved along a group that was dragging

first time

was excited to see a $40 round come up on the day, greens were slow, $10 beers was a bit much considering it was so hot and i am always thirsty... great city views from i think the 14th up against the hillside. north of $120usd in peak time, not too sure.

Solid for the time of year but slow on a saturday

The course was in nice shape for August. Greens rolled well, but the pace was very slow. Hr bermuda there really grabs your club. Stock up on water as there is not much on the course. I thought the back 9 was very cool.

Great play

Played at 1030 on a Thursday for $45. A steal as prices usually around $120. Towels in carts, awesome gps system with live TV and football scores. The views are amazing on the back 9. Pretty short track but greens are pretty difficult. A lot of slope, never a flat putt! Had coolers of waters every 6 holes or so. Cart girl made about 5 rounds. Played 4 hour round with a foursome. Doesn’t move very fast, that’s my only complaint. If you’re a single you’ll be paired with someone. You won’t be getting this course done in 2 hours as a single. Course was amazing for time of year. Construction going on a lot of places but it never affects your play. You’ll just be worrying about knocking a worker out on some holes

Phoenician

Course in great shape for the AZ summer heat.

Plenty of water and cart service on a 107* day.

One of the few courses with playable sand traps.

The Phoenician

Very friendly staff, excellent amenities, golf carts are first class, bottled water on the course and very scenic views on the back 9, the course was in very good condition despite the construction going on around some areas of the course. Great experience overall.

So many other options

Basically charging 100 for a course that is in absolutely horrible shape. Troon should be fined for this. Greens were in good shape but everything else in course was horrible. Fairways were half dead and there was enough water to save Somalia. So many better options for the price take ride to any other course for $100

Always a fun course

Appears they are letting the fairways die for summer seed. Greens and rest of the course were in great condition though. Love the layout
