Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort

Falco course is a bit more difficult than the Palmer. Lots of elevated greens. Putting was perfect.

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 how bunkers are a main part of the course. Allows you to play chess with the course.

The is a very enjoyable course to play , and we did enjoy our round . The greens were moderate in speed and the fairways were as expected..very good . However, the sand hazards were not well maintained , with little or no sand . Furthermore the course maintenance was lacking with disappointing areas or washouts and debris .

The course was beautiful but the greens were like putting on the fairway.

Fairways were in excellent condition. The greens were very very slow, but due to heavy rain overnight. Cart path only for all but the last hole, again due to heavy rain. Best condition fairways I've seen all summer long here in Phoenix.

The course and staff are great but the running of the club - poor. We waited on every hole from number 8 and up. The course marshal was missing in action. I saw him hiding in the shade. On one hole we had four groups waiting at the tee.

Cart lady Elaina was cool! Such a challenge. Gotta hand it to wildfire, they keep their courses in great shape even in summer. Traps were sandy. Greens a little slow but it poured rain the previous night. Thanks, I’ll be back JB.

Courteous staff who make you feel welcome. Pristine practice facility to get loose before your round, water to stay hydrated throughout the course, refreshing ice towels at the turn, carts w/ GPS so you can pick a line/carry off the tee, well watered course (even a little too wet in some areas). Go play this course. You'll be glad you did.

This course is in great shape for mid summer, highly recommend it. Great value for the price for this time of year.

Title being stated I played there yesterday the inside staff were very kind and knowledgeable on course operations. However I didn’t get the same vibes outside from cart staff returned today knowing the cart I was on and I had left sunglasses in the passenger cubby. However they were not turned in. So as nice as the course was seeing as the outdoor staff isn’t honest I can’t see myself going back

The course was great, but the pro shop staff was horrible.

I’ve never felt more unwelcome entering a place of business. The older guy at the register literally looked me up and down and scowled at me when I walked through the doors. Ive been playing this game for 26 years. This was the era where you didn’t get to play if you weren’t following the dress code. Due to this I dress in golf attire and always have my shirt tucked in.

But something about my presence and or appearance this guy did not enjoy.

After I checked in with the other staff, as I was walking back out the door i heard the older guy fire off some crude remark about me and how he was sick or all the “pre-paid” customers.

To say the least I was very off put by the remark. Especially since I book all my rounds via golfnow and usually pre-pay.

This is a great course to play. Watch out for the bunkers.

Course was in great shape for near mid summer here in AZ! Staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The pace of play for our 3some was 3 hours and made for an enjoyable day. Highly recommend this course for those who enjoy golf. Just be careful of all those bunkers. They can swallow your round up quickly.
