Style Desert
Par 71
Length 6846 yards
Slope 132
Rating 72.3

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.

Slow but good

Frost delay tightened things up a bit. We were waiting at quite a few tees. We were Accused of hitting into the group of beginners/wannabe big shots in front of us. Someone stomped one of our 350 yard drives into the fairway. They were clearly struggling with the course and having a bad day.. But overall we had a great day. We will return, but hopefully without the wannabe big shot / entry level realtors in front of us.

The course is quite forgiving. The conditions were very good and the price through golf now was also good for the area. We really enjoyed our day

Cart failed on 8th hole . Staff were unable to solve and basically denied any responsibility so walked a few holes but it was more the attitude of staff that was disappointing .

Pleasant Surprise !

I was visiting the Phoenix, Scottsdale area and did a lot of research on the local golf courses. Talking Stick was a place I had heard about and was dead set on going there but my girlfriend had us staying at Marriott at Desert Ridge and I saw the 2 courses there. I decided to give Faldo a shot because it looked like it was in fantastic shape . Boy was it !!! What a fantastic course. Lots of bunkers though but the place is so well maintained. You won’t be disappointed if you get a tee time here !!!

Value for the money?

Well playing slow always increases your strokes and this round confirms this thought. My wife does not understand golf nd thinks it’s a dumb game since you pay a lot of money to try to hit the ball less!!! Guess she’s right but our group got their moneys worth yesterday.

Really good until the back 9

I golfed with two buddies at 2:25 knowing that there was a chance we wouldn't be able to finish our round. Golf was great up until the 11th hole when 1 of our carts died. We requested someone to come out to our carts literally 9 times. We called the club house and resort multiple times each and could never get a hold of anyone. We called from 4:40-5:00 since the clubhouse closed at 5. No one came or even spoke to us except one time we got through to the resort and asked them to transfer us to the club house. They never did and then hung up on us. We ditched the cart and the 3 of us finished a many holes as we could with only 1 cart. When we returned, no one really cared and that was really disappointing.
