Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
Faldo Championship Course at the Wildfire Golf Club measures as long as 6,846 yards, depending on which tees you're shooting from, and lies on 174 acres and features some differences from the average desert-themed golf courses. Faldo offers abundant fairways, big bentgrass greens and tee boxes, as well as the golf course's neighboring mountains, century-old saguaro cacti and 106 sand bunkers - which remind golfers of Aussie sand-belt golf courses, which gives it a magnificent locale for golfers.
Wildfire Golf Club is much-feted: When the Faldo Championship Course opened, the Arizona Republic selected hole No. 2 among the valley's 18 best. The golf course received recognition among the 2006 Travel & Leisure Golf's "World's Best Golf Resorts" for family getaways and in the 2006 Conde Nast Traveler rundown of the "Top 100 Golf Resorts in North America." These are in addition to the Gold Tee Award from Meetings & Conventions Magazine.

Where’s the grass
I’ve played wildfire over 100 times. Was so disappointed at the condition of the course. Grass was very sparse. Had mud balls every shot They should be notifying people of these conditions before they spend a lot of money to play there
Sand sand everywhere
Well designed
First 8 holes good pace of play and then often 3 groups on a hole and very slow
Bunkers very hard
Bunkers with no sand
The grass part of the course is in great shape. The bunkers are really bad. The bunkers are a hard pack with a very thin layer of sand. If you hit into a bunker, play it like a waste area not a bunker shot. Pretty disappointed for a course that has so many bunkers. They look pretty, but definitely a penalty when hitting into them.
Sand bunkers were concrete
If you’ve played the Faldo course, you know there are tons of bunkers on every hole. 108 total bunkers. The sand was the hardest I’ve ever played on. EVER. It was like hardpan dirt. Extremely disappointing especially for a resort course charging $200 for an afternoon round. Absolutely horrible. Until they get this fixed do not spend your hard earned money on this course. They owe me a refund. The pro shop was closed when we finished so couldn’t talk to anyone. Such a shame for a great course layout.
Faldo course
Bring your sand game as the greens are well protected by bunkers. Conditions were very good, greens were a little beat up and no where near the speed of the practice green but enjoyable round on a course you can takes risks or play to safety
Except for one thing, very nice
Great course
Check in is a complete mess. First you park your car. Then walk back to pro shop and then walk back again to parking lot and then to the carts. Terrible design and time waster.
Well maintained
The multitude of sand traps and their positioning make this course difficult for higher handicap or short hitters. ThereI are sometimes no entry to the green other than flying the sand traps.
Great course for mid to low handicaps.
Bunkers
Shouldn't have to wait till a tournament to have soft sand around the greens I understand fairway sands are to be hard but it's ridiculous The amount of sand that is in the sand traps around the greens no issue with having sand traps just the amount of sand in the trap
Nice layout greens and fairways very good.
Bunkers buy the greens were the worst I have ever
played in. I can't believe they were that bad
