Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort

Nice and peaceful not a lot off noise for a resort course

The staff members were more interested in talking to each other than us. They told us not to tee off early and the first tee box is not near the starter box. We teed off on time but the group in front of us had gone early (not in sight). On the back nine, the marshal told us we needed to speed up even though their GPS said we were exactly on time. We finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes as a foursome. The course had put two threesomes behind us. If you have a designated pace on your GPS then you should not tell people to speed up when they are on pace.

The course was in great shape but the configuration of hole length extremely variable. From the White tee box, many par fours were 420 to 430 yards but some were under 300 yards. Unusual layout. The bunkers were numerous and well placed but many fairway bunkers had 1/8 inch of sand over hardpan.

1000 percent i would plan a trip to play these two courses again. I play tons of golf and have become a little bit of a snob regarding golf courses. PLAY THESE TWO COURSES THEY ARE FANTASTIC CONDITIONS, PACE OF PLAY AND A VERY WELCOMING STAFF. Fantastic location also

Im a 2.7 index and our group played from the back tees. Wildfire is being slept on. Now this is one of my go to courses on my next trip December 2024. Both courses are in fantastic condition. The greens on the Palmer course were faster. The Palmer course tightens up in the landing areas off the tees. I believe the Faldo course had been over seeded a week before we played. The Faldo course in my opinion is an incredible design along with being playable from all tee boxes. LOTS OF BUNKERS BTW! Both courses: Tees manicured and flat, fairways slightly soft and the greens near flawless. Pace of play was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We happened to get paired up with a member and he was very helpful pointing out potential trouble. Fantastic person also It was very cool to see so many enormous cactus in a classic desert layout. I love these two courses and can't say enough great things about them.

Great day at wildfire, super value on the hot deal!

My girlfriend and I played the Faldo Course at Wildfire Golf Club early in the morning before work - a fun and enjoyable challenge.

The conditions were good, though not exceptional. The greens rolled well, but a few areas of the course could use some extra care. While the course doesn’t quite hit the “wow” factor, it’s a solid choice for an enjoyable round.

I have played this course numerous times over the years. Always in good condition except greens are at times slow. Just a fun course to play.

Drink cart ran out of sandwiches by 1pm and no dogs or sandwiches at the turn. Your F&B manager needs to step up.

Wet course from overseeding a fact of life but always frustrating.

Not too impressed for the manicure of the course given the price. Also, club house very concerned about speed of play which made for a very frustrating round. There was never anyone waiting on us but the marshall was with us every step of the way. Even asked us to skip a hole when no one was behind us. Very annoying.

Played mcdowell mountain the next day and course condition was much like what i expected and no marshal even asked us to hurry up even though course was busy.

The Faldo course was in very good condition considering the long stretch of extremely hot weather.

Golf course was amazing! Only down side of it being a solo golfer was catching a group of 4 on hole 6 who wouldn't let me pass. Thought maybe there would be a marshall driving around to keep everyone up with pace of play but there wasn't. What should of been a 2 1/2 maybe 3 hour round turned into a 4 1/2 round just because I was waiting on every hole. Other than that, course was amazing, the greens and fairways were amazing and would definitely play here again.

I really enjoyed my time at Wildfire Faldo course. I came on a Saturday at 12:15. They allowed me to play as a single since the course wasn’t too busy. The practice facility and staff were great before teeing off. The course itself is in great shape and challenging with so many bunkers to avoid. I didn’t catch anyone until the 8th hole and was able to pass them on 10. The marshall said he should give me a speeding ticket since I was 40 minutes ahead of pace after the front 9. Overall the round took 3 hours and was a great experience. Will be back in the future.

The only thing that wasn’t perfect at this place were the greens. Because they were recently punched and way too slow. That’s understandable, it was just that time. My issue is that the practice green WASNT. The practice green was beautiful and perfect. So I warmed up on a green that wasn’t representative of the course. Other than that it was a fantastic day
