About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
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 and Bumpy

Layout is great, staff is top notch. Only complaint is no notification of recent punching of greens. Very slow and bumpy trying to keep them healthy.

Greens will be great in about 2 weeks.

Good layout

It’s a nice layout and pretty fair condition. The price seemed reasonable. I definitely feel like after playing it. I could score a lot lower takes some course knowledge.

Faldo course has an interesting design

Nice interesting golf course with no two holes that look alike. Fairways and greens were in fair condition. Disappointing was the bottom of the sand traps which were wet or very hard. The sand was very inconsistent. A fair value and worth playing.

Comedy of Errors

As a single, playing partners didn’t show up. Starter claimed group in front wouldn’t play with a single. Group in front said that was untrue. Stuck waiting behind the group as a single. Such a bummer because it is a solid course. Cannot recommend to others.

Summer pricing is a steal!

The course was in great shape from Tee box to Green. Greens were the same speed the whole 18 and not some being fast or some slow like courses can be sometimes. They are a difficult read sometimes but that’s the fun challenge. This course makes you play smart and if you do you can shoot good scores here. I hit a PR the first time I played! Highly recommend
