Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort

Played Faldo early AM to beat the 115 degree heat. Course is in very good shape. A few rough fairway spots, but they are closing for aerification in a day so I'm sure they will be cleaned up.
Very generous landing areas on most holes, however stray too far left or right and you will find one of their 100+ bunkers.
Greens rolled true and were a little slow, but consistent form hole to hole.
Overall a great course can't wait to come back and play the Palmer course.

Only made it 2/3 of the way through before a monsoon took the course over. Great course. Nice wide fairways but lots of sand traps so hit it straight! Great staff. Hope to get back soon to play 13-18.

Great course with open fairways. Hit right or left and you may end up in a trap. Greens were well protected by traps, some elevated. A few long par fours and fives.

Greens were punched a couple of weeks ago so still a bit bumpy. Course conditions otherwise were very good. Be sure to hit it straight on this course - some steep bunker faces.

The course was in great shape for the time of year. I would love to to play it again

Played July 25th. Upon check in I was informed that they were just coming off Aeriation. I was pretty bummed because I did not see that on the GN app. To be honest it really was not that bad. The greens were a little bumpy but OK. The fairways and boxes were in great condition and the rough was fair. LOT OF BUNKERS!!!
Ordered two drinks from the cart lady...$20!!! Felt like I was in a night club with those prices....
Great Job Marriott.

Although greens had recently been aerated, the course was in great shape. LOTS of bunkers, but they are maintained very well and easier to recover from if you land in them often (like I did!). I'll definitely play here again.

Wildfire Faldo is a fun course that allows you to work your way around the course and not force you to hit driver on every par 4 or 5.

Incredible amounts of sand. Why they built a resort course with this many sand traps is puzzling. But great views, great holes and for $29 it's a steal (just sanded/aerated the greens!)

Course was in good condition for this time of year. Great value!

Plan on using every club in your bag and using them in creative ways to score. I found the greens tricky to read and at times I was left with a difficult approach shot to elevated greens. Expect to find cleverly placed bunkers for all driving distances. If you don't hit it straight expect a long iron bunker shot to the green. I would highly recommend this course.

Wildfire Faldo course is a fair test for all levels of golfers. The greens are challenging as you will need to play the course a few times to make sure you know when not to take dead aim at the pins! I look forward to playing it again soon!! Nice staff and beautiful facility at the Marriot Desert Ridge!

Too many bunkers but a beautiful course, weather was perfect, pace of play was excellent, some holes were a little challenging.

The course is in great shape especially for it being the middle of summer, price was great and will definitely go back if I find more deals like this. Staff was very friendly, especially the outside service staff as they waited into the dark to allow us to get the most of our round.

The course needs senior tees. Excellent condition but
the back nine very long

The staff was rude didn't make me feel welcome, country club environment..

Great value at summer pricing levels! The layout is creative with well placed deep bunkers. They are to be avoided, but there are plenty of bale-out areas. Most greens are elevated with protective bunker complexes that will challenge your short game. Well-maintained fairways with divots repaired with sand.

Course in GREAT condition as always. Nice staff. Bunkers in great shape and r deep. Plan your misses accordingly! Greens rolling true!

Great course! The course was in good condition and the staff was very friendly really enjoyed it

As a frequent visitor to Phoenix, this course was on my list to play. The rate on Golfnow was outstanding! The course was in excellent condition and the greens were as good as it gets. The sand was a bit inconsistent, so be it. I would play here again in the reduced rate season but probably wouldn't make the drive from the south end of the metro area for full season rates.
