Desert/Canyon at Phoenician, The

Course was in good condition. Greens were a little slow for my liking. Many were sloped back to front so it was difficult to get the ball close to the pins.

Cart drinks were stupidly expensive.$25 for two bar rail drinks!

Fairway bunkers had lots of stone, gravel mix with sand. Not good for clubs.

I would play again for the same price!

wife enjoyed it.

This was a wonderful day to spend with my wife and son. I am visiting My son and daughter in law ( she had to work today) and the three of us had a great day. The weather was cool to start but turned out to be just perfect. Course was in nice shape and we finished 18 holes in 3 hrs 20 mins.

This is definitely a course worth paying for! Carpet like greens and challenging layout. Our foursome played in 4 hours - we are all in the upper teen handicaps. Great course!

great course. well kept as you would expect for this sort of money played all three courses some are more scenic than others with the stunning 8 on canyon lovely.

my only gripe was the GPS too many adverts Especially the 4:29 screen pain in the neck its the slow play screen well its cart path only so pace is slow.

Stunning golf course with magnificent views. Well maintained and friendly, helpful staff. I kept looking forward to each hole as they came because each one was different and presented it's own set of challenges. There are many elevation changes as part of this course is set right into the mountain side. I played the Desert/Canyon combination. Greens were a little slow to begin due to recent overseeding but as the day heated up they picked up a little speed. Absolutely loved this course and can't wait to go back.

Course was ok... nothing more nothing less... definitely not good value for money!!! For example... played Grayhawk Raptor for almost exactly same money... Raptor was miles better... different class TBH!!!!

Too tight of holes.. Traffic loud next to the course.

They were working on 9 holes that were closed.

this course is a dangerous layout and typically in terrible shape. the golfers are hacks and the pace of play was horrible. leave this one to the fools that come here in the winter and don't mind overpaying for a goat track. some of the greens were sod, some were dirt, and the bunker by the range was full of balls - all of which they blamed on a storm the night before! what?

bring your own gps since the one in the cart is a sales tool for people that came for a massage or a burger instead of golf.

the only thing going for this course is the real estate. they should bulldoze it and build condos.

Great Course, we got an awesome deal... It was Cart Path only because of Overseeding so that wasn't the best but it was still a fantastic round.

Course was in great shape!!! Interesting layout!!! Will play it again when back in the area!!!

Good shape even after the overseeding.

Plays between overseeding and start of the season. Course in the shape I expected, greens were shaggy & slow, fairways & rough were also a little long. Cart path only so pace reflected that. Layout has some spectacular views w/ 2 very short par 3's with elevated tees on the slope of Camelback Mtn worth the price for the views alone. The short yardage of the course Ian made up for with water & bunkering in the short par 4's. I hit 4 iron off the tee a few times leaving 100 yards or less in.

Biggest gripe was the ranger. We what brief waits in every shot on the front, stopped to hit the restrooms at the turn, & then had the ranger waiting for USB on the 10th tee telling us we were behind pace. We promptly caught up on the next hole. That ticked me off. If I'd been paying peak season rates I would have given the pro shop an earful.

While I recommend it as a 'play it once while in PHX' course, I wouldn't pay peak season rates. It is worth $80 - $90 or so, IMHO.

The course was beautiful, but fairly slow round Luke most resort style courses in the afternoon. Generally I'm ok with slow rounds, but the staff here really tried to push the pace of play, to the extent that the Marshall told us that we were slowing the round up when we had to wait for the group in front of us for 90% of our shots on the front nine...

Great mix holes . Glad I was riding distance between tees and greens would be a long walk.

Played on a Tuesday in early September for a great price. Absolutely beautiful course with very friendly staff - cart girl was terrific fun in particular. Pretty quiet time so pace of play was excellent. Greens run very true but can be a test to properly read - all but one were in good shape, especially for September. Course is quite short so as long as you keep the drive in play, you will have a reasonable approach shot to the green. One of the nicest layouts we've played in Phoenix area - would definitely go back again.

Great little course with some interesting par 3 holes that usually had a severe elevation drop to the green. Very satisfying if you hit the green. Plays longer on most holes due to elevation changes. Some blind shots to the greens uphill at times made club selection a challenge. I started on the back tees but moved up to the middle tees after a couple of holes. Tee to green the course was perfect. Would have played it twice if I had more time. Play early to beat the heat this time of year.

What an outstanding layout! Played Canyon/Oasis. Oasis 9 reminded me of Ocotillo G.R.! The Canyon 9 reminded me of Black Gold in California; lot's of blind tee shots.

For a short (apprx 6100 yards) course/configuration, the degree of difficulty is right up there for shot placement and course management!

Definitely a return engagement!

This course is amazing. For middle of the summer conditions this placed looked like a lush green resort course. Fairways were wonderful greens were not hard as rocks all though a little slow they were smooth and running maybe an 8 I could play there over and over again
