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.

Sand on Steroids
Crazy amount of tough bunkers on this course. Greens were true but protected by sand all around most holes. Even though course was almost empty slow groups consistently held up pace. I got a deal on price but how could you have a higher priced course without any Marshalls monitoring. Not one. Driving range was closed but chipping & putting areas were good. Bag staff was good as well. Too many other nice courses here. This is a pass.
Good Hot Deal
Good deal with GolfNow. I would not pay the full price to play this in Sept. Typical resort course. Keep it in play and you can score.
Had a great time!!
I have played both Wildfire courses several times when we visit AZ. The Faldo course is very challenging due to all the bunkers. Thankfully I shot my best score ever on the Faldo playing the blue/white combo tees. As a senior, I was thrilled with my score. The course was in excellent condition and pace of play was great!!
Great destination course
The course was in great condition considering it was over 100 degrees. The 108 bunkers are challenging, especially the deep ones. Desert golf at its best.
Grassy greens
Really nothing bad to say about this course sometimes I can be a negative person but in all honesty the course is very playable for all and I understand when you play in July and August the greens can’t be cut short and fast cause it’s too hot I just wish they could of been a bit faster cause at times it felt like putting was taken out other than that everyone working there very nice and course in great condition
Great course
Nothing bad to say about my experience. Loved the course. Great conditions. Will play again.
Faldo Course-Wildfire Golf Course
From the moment I arrived the whole experience with staff,set up and then playing was outstanding. Over from Australia, first time playing this course, and third trip to Arizona, and I can honestly say it’s right up their with the best that I’ve played…
Course was in immaculate condition, greens were pure to putt on, and you could not get a bad lie on any fairway. I honestly highly recommend this course to anyone, I for sure will be back to play the other resort Course on next trip
Thanks for the super price I got on this course

Challenging, yet fair course in great shape
Faldo course was in great summer shape due to recent rains although those rains kept them from mowing the fairways daily as they need to. So the fairways were lush and green but also pretty shaggy and moist for AZ summer golf which meant that the course played LONG! :) We zoomed around as a twosome in 3 hours after an early Sunday tee-time. Staff couldn't have been nicer, range was in great shape and we saw cart girl about 4 times. Overall great experience. Yes, you are definitely paying premium rates considering it's summer, but everything about the round and facility was first rate
Two great courses here, play them both
Falco course is a bit more difficult than the Palmer. Lots of elevated greens. Putting was perfect.
Delightful
Faldo has become one of my two favorite courses in Phoenix, the other being Raven. You can tell a lot has been invested in this course to create wide forgiving fairways, pristine bunkers and silky smooth greens. Unfortunately I can only afford to play it in the summer months.
Love it
Love how bunkers are a main part of the course. Allows you to play chess with the course.
