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.

Great Faldo Layout in the Desert
What a blast to play this desert course! Better b a good bunker player! World class staff outside and inside! A must play in Scottsdale,
Nice coarse
Pace of play was excellent. Coarse condition were great.
Beautiful golf course,fairways nice and lush, greens consistent but slow, wish they were cut!!!! Nice variety of holes, only complaint was one cart girl for 36 holes!!!
Wonderful Experience!
I would score it a 90/100. It would have been a 100/100 if it hadn’t rain.
I had the course basically to myself!
Nice Track
Nice track, lots of bunkers. Course in great shape. Greens were very slow.
Wildfire, Falbo
Beautiful course, well maintained. A lot of sand traps, no water for this time of year. Front nine good pace but we bumped against 2 foursomes on back and cut 4 holes off to finish in daylight. Would play this course again with earlier tee time.
Solid Layout and Challenging
I didn't play the tips because I haven't played in a while, but those definitely make this course a great challenge. Great Layout and the Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I'd replay it again for sure.
Very nice course. Plenty of sand to to fulfill your beach fantasy. As an average golfer this course was perfect. I'm sure it would.also be a challenge for professionals as well. Practice facility was excellent.
First time
First at the course everyone made us happy to with them to play golf. Jay the starter was fantastic was able to fit us in a little earlier. We played the Faldo course cart path only because grass not ready for cart traffic. If you a true golfer your ok with that and hoped they discount the round for that. We are at the bar afterwards my brother had French dip he said was great, I had the wings and wow more than I could eat and fantastic sauce and big meaty wings. Hopefully you will enjoy your day as my brother and I did and last but not least found some great items in the pro shop.
Happy Golfing Don Young Boise, Idaho
Faldo course just open
For being just open the course condition was very good, the only issue, as expected, was cart path only. Regardless it was great.
The course is very challenging with all the bunkers.
I enjoyed the course immensely and look forward to coming back...
Great layout but not kept up
Greensblack sand and when there are over 100 of them you will find it! Many bunkers filled with water and not raked out from thrvday before. Expect better for the price they charge
Pleasantly Surprised
I have played almost all the top rated coursed In the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I came to town with a golf buddy for the weekend.. We wanted to play 36 holes and this time of year is hard because of overseeding. We both loved both courses. Personally I preferred Faldo over Palmer. Excellent customer service. On a hot day the ice water towels were great. Lots of water to keep hydrated. It's not the name of some of the other top courses, but I think you would be happy. Faldo course has over 100 bunkers. Visually, it is a great looking course. Fairly open for those who spray the ball. I will be back for sure!!!
Course in very good condition, just few too many bunkers
Faldo Wildfire
The course is fun, scenic and challenging. We will come back again and again. The staff are great and very accommodating.
Enjoyable round of golf
Friendly staff. Nice fast golf carts with GPS to font and back. Distance is always to pin. Greens rolled nice. Pace of play was slow. Staff worked hard to get slow groups to speed up. Water available on the course and we saw the beer cart 4 or 5 times during our round. I would play again.
