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.

Epitome of resort golf

Immaculate conditions from tee box to pin. Friendly staff. Extra firm bunkers as one would expect for desert golf. Just adjust your technique for those. Forgiving layout. Only gripe would be $11 beers but that’s what you get at the epitome of resort golf :).

Top notch

Beautiful well maintained course. Fairways and greens were perfect. A few greens were severely tiered. I couldn’t see that from the fairway. Made a relatively short course more challenging. I will come back in the summer when the green fees are more reasonable. That said the price was in line with every other nice course in Phoenix.
