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
Awesome course
Sweet resort and course. Greens were not in the best condition. Other than that great place
Meh
Course was slow, greens were slow and furry, I played the tips and multiple holes were missing tee markers. Wide open short course, easy to play and score.
27 holes of exquisite beauty
Course was interesting ,fun and beautifully manicured. Every square inch of real estate on the course was in excellent shape from the greens to bunkers to fairways and even in waste areas. you could tell human hands had touched every space. Layout was interesting with great views of the area. Thank you Golf now for getting a good rate for us to play!
Beautiful Scenery
This course has many scenic holes and we enjoyed the day. The course conditions were great and we were paired with a single who was fun to play with. There were a couple of quirky routes to some of the holes with long and somewhat confusing cart rides to the tee boxes. Fortunately the person we played with knew the course. It is a tough course, especially when it is windy. We played the first 12 or 13 holes in calm conditions and then the wind started blowing hard. It was well worth playing though and we would play it again.
One of the better courses for the money
We have a Trincard and play this course frequently. It's one of the better courses in the city and the prices very good especially as it warms up in the summer. We have played all three oasis Canyon and desert courses. There is wide variety and the course is kept in very good condition. The staff is exceptionally friendly. The cart girls are nice but the prices on the cart are way out of whack . Otherwise it's a great place to play and I highly recommend.

This is a beautiful golf track I did not realise I was so close to the base of Camelback ! stunning views probably the best in Phx great staff even better bar outside !!
And Relish the burger joint hit it out the Park !!!
2nd time around!!
I played this course in 2014 (May) found it to be a top notch golf course. Really enjoyed the experience, challenge, and course conditions. Now in May 2015 wanted to try my luck again. Found it to be no different. Equally as good as 2014. Highly recommend it.
Outstanding course
Played the Desert & Canyon courses. Desert much more target oriented and Canyon more open. Both in tremendous shape. I struggled on the undulated greens and couldn't seem to get my roll right. Definitely not a complaint, I can't wait to play again now that I have some course knowledge. Mid teen handicappers like me playing for first time need to be conservative and smart about shots especially on the Desert course.
Great views
Outstanding vistas. Not to hard to play. Some tricky greens on Canyon 3 par 3's on canyon makes you feel like you shot a low scora
Great course
Course is in excellent condition would play again. Very challenging great views.
Beautiful AZ weather, fabulous course conditions.
While I'd played The Phoenician many years prior, it was a delight to have the opportunity while on vacation. Courses in outstanding condition, staff very accommodating, views an added bonus. Pro Shop also a nice stop after finishing our round.
Simply Amazing
An amazing round. The course was in great shape and the staff was first rate. The pace of play was perfect and we never felt rushed. We will certainly add it to our regular rotation.
This is paradise on earth
It will cost you $$ in terms of golf balls but, it really worth it.
Awesome views!
Hard to focus on golf with such spectacular surroundings.
Beautiful Resort
I definitely include The Phoenician as one of my favorites in AZ, and the fact that it is Troon Managed is a plus, however, the outside service this visit was subpar at best (had to beg someone to get our bags that were sitting alone at Bag Drop for 10+ minutes) (Not good as my set is NEW and expensive) and additionally I think they did not keep track of who was going where at the turn...We got very backed up after flying through the front nine in under 2 hours. I love the facility, courses and love the resort, but both the guys in the golf shop and the outside service folks need to step up their game as far as friendliness, attention to guests & pace of play.
Excellent Experience
This course has the BEST staff. ..friendly, helpful. This is my 2nd play at The Phoenician. First was last Fall at an outing for a group I lead. The Manager was out at the entrance to greet all of the players and help the other staff put bags on carts, etc. Two totally wonderful experiences on these fabulous courses!
BeBeautiful resort course
Well maintained course. Greens were in great shape. Challenging course but with plenty of room to lay up and play it safe, but that's not my game. I would definitely play here again or recommend it to friends.
desert /canyon
The desert course greens were in poor shape while the canyon was much better not sure why as I've played here before. Pace was fine as they have a ranger to check for slow play.
