Oasis/Desert at Phoenician, The

So the fairways n greens were very nice,however, the front plays along close by roads( lots of noise) close houses/yards with barking dogs and 1,2,8,18 surrounded by construction.

On the back we were told it nature. They were right however the holes run directionally opposite and close, we were hit into from golfers on the different holes coming toward several times by errant shots.

Several sand traps were hard pan almost without sand. Not what I expect from a 4.5 rated course. Pace was slow, I quit after 14- made my way in.

Great course. Excellent conditions. Fun and challenging but good for the average golfer. Paired up with some slow players. Couldn’t finish 18 holes.

What a beautiful course and super friendly staff. The front 9 and the back 9 are two totally different courses: front 9 is relatively straight forward, with new construction on the first fairway, it felt a little claustrophobic. But, you quickly settle in and I enjoyed playing the remaining holes on the front. It’s no joke when they tell you everything breaks away from the mountain. Once we hit the back 9, everything changes… very undulating greens, up hill approach shots and stunning valley views from elevated holes. This can’t be overstated, it is literally the best view of the valley. Money and time well spent.

Enjoyed the ambiance on site with clubhouse and cart pick up. Definitely a future round in the offing.

For a course like this, take better care of the greens. A lot of dead areas

The Phoenician is in very good shape. It is challenging with greens that are true to your putts.

This course is definitely one of the better ones in Phoenix. Well looked after by maintenance team with no help from players (ball pitch marks). Good course for a ten and up handicap. Not long enough for the low caps. I would definitely play again but only if I find a deal on the cost. No course in the world should be priced at the rate it is. +2 cap golfer comments.

Great course, poor practice facilities including hard balls, Great starter and pro shop excellent but too much construction and after service in 19th poor, but food good. The place is becoming a real estate and Europe do this type of facilities better at a much more reasonable rate.
