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.

Great greens for this time of year
The greens were in excellent condition for this time of year in AZ
Great value
The golf course is located in the middle of a very high class resort/spa. Which is reflective in the price of the lunch at their Burger Bistro. There were no hamburgers on the menu for less than $20. That being said, it was one of the best burgers that I have ever eaten:) The staff were very professional, the clubhouse is beautiful, even the range balls were first class. I paid $20 including cart to play here, but you get the feeling by the surrounding's and the golf course, that come October, you would be forking over at least $150. The golf course itself is interesting, there are many fairway bunkers that you have to thread the needle on, at right about 230 from the championship tees. There are a few really cool short holes with hazards to be thought about, that give you various options on how to play the hole. The course is well manicured, the water hazards(including a waterfall) are clear and beautiful, and the greens are straightforward, nothing tricky about them. Very enjoyable over all experienc
Beautiful and challenging course.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The course was in great shape, very beautiful layout and very challenging. The staff was excellent. Definitely will play course again.

Hot Golf
Staff was really helpful. Friendly and courteous. Oasis 9 was kind of rough shape, especially the greens. A number of large bare spots in the green. Pace of play was good. We got caught behind a slow group the last few holes and the marshal asked them to let us through. They elected to speed up, which was ok.
Dramatic Views/Great Track
The best resort course in the Valley of the Sun. Played the Oasis and Canyon. Both offered challenging holes, as well as forgiving holes. You will enjoy this venue/track when played early in the summer. In the fall, you will have to pinch yourself. It is heavenly.
Great summertime value
Always wanted to play Phoenician but cost prohibitive most of the time. Found a hot deal on GolfNow for $23.00 per 18 holes so finally got the chance. Excellent course for a weekend hacker like me. Great layout, incredible views, and challenging holes. Having so much fun, I hardly noticed the 110 degree heat.
Still in good shape for the summer!
I really like this course, especially in the summertime. They keep most of the course green, and the greens are usually smooth. The staff is great, you can tell they care and know what it's like to play in the Arizona summer.
GREAT GOLF COURSE
I REALLY LIKED THE COURSE, BUT THE DRINK LADY SEEMED TO SIT IN ONE PLACE & IT WAS HOT & WE NEEDED HER MORE OFFEN. MORE WATER ON THE COURSE IS NEEDED WHEN IT GETS THAT HOT OUT THERE.
Fun in the Sun
What great course. Very beautiful course with fun and challenging holes. Recommend this to anyone looking for a course to play with multiple skill levels in your group.
Beautiful view
Definitely playing again.
OK but many better choices for same price
Course is short and narrow . A couple of spectacular par 3 holes, but overall conditions of the greens were poor. Fairways were good shape. Not bad for the money, but for this time of year there are many nice courses that are in much better conditions for about same amount of money.
Play it again soon
Fantastic course layout, fairways in great shape, but the greens could use some TLC. Played 18 on a warm June morning, second foursome off the 1st tee on the Oasis course. Expected water coolers every three or four holes, typical for most Phoenix area courses, but found none. Will most certainly play again this summer. Great value for the green fees paid.
Not for beginners
Deep bunkers, some water in play, have to use course management skill.
NOT A TRADITIONAL COURSE
This is a great course, lots of up and downs. Well taken care of. The Phoenician must hold some sort of record for the number of landscape maintenance workers on the course. Every hole I played had some sort of activity with landscaping maintenance. The desert 9 was interesting. The canyon 9 was stacked fairways back and forth up the mountain. Great views and great service but personally would not frequent this course from strictly a golf viewpoint. I kept looking for the dinosaurs and windmills.
Phoenician
Having played the Phoenician several times before, I was looking forward to the round and was expecting good conditions. I am aware that this is a transition time on the course, and expected dried out greens in order to prepare for aerofication. However, I was very disappointed with the conditions of the fairways, with many brown spots. Not worth the money unless you great a good deal under $20.
Arizona Gem
I really enjoyed this course. Great layout, good conditions, interesting scenery. Would play again with the deal we got on Golfnow!
super nice condition beautiful
Always a joy to be on property at the Phoenician almost hate to give it 5 stars cause like it to remain a bit of a secret.
