About
Editor's Note: Course closed in 2018. See The Phoenician Golf Club listing.
The Desert/Oasis Course was the Phoenician's first 18 holes, which were later joined by the Canyon nine. The aptly named course may have desert surroundings but its numerous palm trees and blooming flowers will make golfers feel as though they've been transported to a tropical destination. Although all three golf courses cover only 150 acres, none of them feel cramped. Any lack of length is quickly forgotten after playing the creative challenges of the layout. The golf course offers plenty of variety that make it appealing to low and high handicappers alike. Dramatic elevation changes characterize the Desert nine, providing the breathtaking views that have led it to be the most requested course. The Oasis nine is memorable as well with water coming into play on six holes and a unique moat of sand on the par-4 finishing hole.

Canyon Course...tee off towards Camelback Mtn. Photo submitted by u000001276894 on 09/24/2012
Excellent, as always!
I play here every time I come to AZ. I love the course and the staff is always extremely friendly! Thanks again Phoenician!
Layout and staff
This is a first class facility from staff to the course. Easily my favorite course in Phoenix
Desert Getaway
Awesome resort course. Not going to kill you. Beautiful surroundings. Only complaint is that I accidentally left my breakfast sandwich because I had to rush to tee off. When I went back to get it, it wasn't there. The person working at the course restaurant didn't seem to care and at those prices I wasn't going to buy another one. 😒😒
Beautiful course
We enjoyed this course very much. Very well maintained with lovely flowers and landscape. Pricey but a wonderful experience
Great course, beautifully landscaped, good value for the money but the pace was 5 1/2 hours!☹️☹️
Love the course but the marshal was not doing his job!! It took a ridiculous 5 1/2 hours to play the course!
Very Plush Resort course with a phenomenal staff
Am I going to give this place an “Over-the-top” review? Yes I am. It’s a resort course in Scottsdale that backs up to Camel Back Mountain. The Entire staff goes out of their way to make sure all the guests are having a fun time. The value far exceeds the costs. It’s not the most difficult course in the area and it’s fairly short from the gold tees. Houses line most of the holes on the front 9. Lots of home/condo construction adjacent to the course currently can be a small distraction. Definitely could not walk this course so carts are a must. Those are super small issues.. so otherwise, this one is a real jewel
Beautiful Golf Course.
Great course, great staff. You think it’s a lot but you get to play a course with pristine fairways, painful roughs and smooth fast greens. The course is only half the cost though. The staff hooks you up with as much bottled water as you need. Club cleaning, bag/cart setup and after play services. From the moment you show up you just get to enjoy a relaxing round with little care about your gear getting where it needs to be.
Very pretty but..
This is solely personal preference.
The course was very pretty but a bit manufactured for me. The landscape was almost lacking character because of the million dollar homes lining it. The back was better with less residential and more of the style I prefer.
The range was adequate but pretty eaten up compared to some others we were at.
The service was great and the staff very accommodating considering our tee time had somehow been deleted.
I’m not sure I’d play here again before trying out other courses in the area.
