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.

Not worth it

The staff are excellent friendly Jack the starter was very nice..

BUT for the money there are many other courses that are better. The greens are slow and bumpy the lay out is good views on the back 9 are good. Fairways are good but the rest is below average. Find a better place to play

Everything was great except the Greens was slow

The practice green was so fast and the actual greens were so slow and not consistent at all.. Would expect better green at Phoenician.

Over priced like all courses in Scottsdale

Golf used to be affordable for the residents of Arizona not So Much Anymore it's gotten out of hand and I believe these golf courses are price gouging and taking advantage of the bachelor parties that come to town where the men want to play golf and will pay those prices.
