Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort
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.

Late day with Faldo
I had played Wildfire before, but on a misty cold day. When I saw this late afternoon tee time for a value price on a nice day I jumped on it. I thought I might not get finished, but to my surprise the pace was great & I finished with time to spare. The course was in great shape! What seems like a thousand bunkers guard everything so either be very accurate or bring your bunker game. The carts have GPS to the flag, front, back & hazards so that really helps.
Great Course
The course was in excellent condition. Weather was in the low 80`s with a light breeze. We played the blue tees but there is not much difference from black to blue on most holes. The course is not long but there are bunkers everywhere so you need to place your shot or you will spend a lot of time in the sand. greens hold nice and roll true. This course is on my favorites list for Phoenix area golf.
Must play
Already looking forward to playing another 36 holes next year.
Beautiful Layout
Despite the crowded conditions, the pace was reasonable. The course was in very good condition but for players not fixing ball marks or grooming bunkers . Phil at the desk was awesome and the staff very friendly.
Excellent Conditions
Beautiful course that is challenging but fair. Avoid deep fairway bunkers
Happy New Year
Faldo is a placement course so you better be straight on your drives and approach shots because if you don't you're in the bunker. The course has way too many bunkers in its attempt to make it more difficult. Many of them were unkept. Word to the course, put out more rakes if you want the bunkers to be raked after play. Greens were is great shape.
Great Day to Play Golf
Played Wildfire - the Faldo course with a friend for the first time. We got a very "Hot Deals" rate from Golfnow. The course was in beautiful condition and we had great weather. The practice facilities were very nice and so was the staff. I definitely would play this course again but with discounted rate. The regular rates are high for my budget but I was lucky to find the rate that I got.
Beautiful course
Really enjoyed playing the Faldo course. I was worried about the 108 bunkers but they are fairly placed on the course and very playable.
All 4 of us loved the course and will return.
Excellent experience
Tight fairways, smooth , fast greens which would hold a well hit approach was delightful
overpriced
The range was closed and it was cart path only and this was the HOT DEAL for the day at $85.00 after taxes, etc.
We felt like this was a terrible value for a course with no driving range open and cart path only. We played the Faldo course which has challenges enough without having to walk back and forth trying to figure out what club to you.
Too much too soon!
Asking way too much money to play a course in this condition. The course was overseeded and no carts and the greens were as long as the fairway. The courses is beautiful and has challenges with layout and obstacles. I would love to play it when it was not in that type of condition. Charging the amount we paid was greedy!!! Should never expect to receive that kind of money for that type of condition. On another note, the staff was very friendly!!!
Bunker City
Last day to enjoy before rates skyrocket. Great experience more so if I could stay out of bunkers. 3.5 hrs. One of favs although only able to afford in summer.
Fun Course
My wife and I enjoyed the Faldo track...we were paired with a couple local guys who were very fun! Bring your sand toys...lots of bunkers to play in!! Enjoy
Wild Fire Faldo

Beautiful course and challenging
Great customer service. Excellent practice facility
Faldo course
This was my first time playing the Wildfire course. I was pleasantly surprised with the entire experience. The course and facilities were beautiful. Greens rolled true and fast. Staff were friendly. I definitely want to play this course again!
Lots of bunkers, lots of fun.
This course is my go to course. Summer rates are great, winter rates a bit pricey. Other than that it's a fun course.
