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.

Amazing golf, must play
This was my first round here and I will be coming back for sure with friends. I had a early day at work and decided to play a round to treat myself. Glad I found at time at this awesome resort. The course was in fantastic condition, the layout and scenery was spectacular, and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend coming here.
Great track
Course layout was great. Very playable course for all skill levels. If I would have played this course at the start of my trip I would have canceled my other times and played here all three days. I will definitely be back to this one.
Always a great experience
Greens were punched at least a few weeks ago, are coming in nicely and rolling true. If not picky about the amazing home construction around the front 9, it is always a great experience playing The Phoenician. Well groomed, playable for scoring, yet an errant shot can cost you. Great staff, on course refreshments and pace of play. Enjoy.
What a site
Great views the whole round. The course in great shape for summer time, the greens were just arriated, the back nine was a little worse than front but was not disappointed with the course. The carts are first rate just a overall great day. Looking forward to returning.
Not terrible
I got a discount on the round because of aerification. If I would have paid the $100+ fee to play this course I would have been very disappointed. The course is nice but it’s short, No Marshall keeping the round moving, over priced cart.. It’s not a $100+ course.
Great every time
Played here on my way home from picking up holiday relatives at the airport. Even tired and hot, this was as great as ever. Course was green and full. Greens were rolling nicely. Had a few issues with the group in front playing the wrong tees but after we spoke to them, they adjusted and play was more enjoyable. Cart girl on front side forgot that she was there to sell and never stopped for anyone but on the back, she was our private beverage person. Bunker liners are beginning to surface again but a little tlc and they’ll be be back to normal. It was a great day at a favorite course so let the greens heal from being recently aerated and you’ll be fine.
DON'T GO
Arrived at course was not told greens had just been irated. First hole was cart pat only on a par 4, Had to walk forever to get to ball. My wife has a knee replacement real fun. The greens you could not putt.. We got to second hole after driving thru construction
and my friends cart would not make it up hill, We had to push cart out of tunnel in heat then wait for another cart.
We quit after ONE hole had bad beer at the bar after waiting for 15 minutes for them to change keg. Bottom line go somewhere else.
aerated greens
The greens have just been aerated. Front nine was fine, back nine was pretty bumpy/sandy, but for the price, I would play again.
GOLF HERE!
This course is super fun to play. Unreal views as well! Staff is friendly and professional. Don’t miss your chance to play!
Phoenician Golf
Course was in great shape. Greens true, faster on the back then the front.
18 is a really nice finishing hole, makes you think.
Very nice day, should not have taken me 20 years to get out to this course!
Getting my Troon Card
I want to play this course as often as possible. I am pleased completely with everything about The Phoenician. Designated course for when my friends visit from the East Coast
