Play it again
We first played on our 2021 golf trip and really enjoyed the course. Just played it in 2022 and we all said it was even better the second time around.
Staff is friendly, great practice facilities and the course was in great shape.
We will be back.
Can’t go wrong with a Palmer Course
A bit tighter than the Faldo course, but very nice. Conditions were excellent and we finished in under 4 hours (barely) with a 12:30 tee time.
I always enjoy playing either of these courses., but they have gotten very expensive. As such I only play when I can get a discounted tee time.
Good course
Got a reasonable rate on golf now. Not a $250 course but great for $100. Condition was immaculate like most resort courses.
Sonoran desert gem
I and an owner at the Marriott Canyon Villas. I love Wilfire Golfclub! Been here about 15 years or more!
Be Mindful of over-seeding times.
We thought the course was great! Would have been much better if we could drive off of the cart path. Greens were also super slow and kind of bumpy due to over-seeding but we totally understood and adjusted accordingly. I will definitely go back a d try again once the conditions are different.
Not up to par
Overall I really like this course, however condition of course was average compared to when I have played it before.
I don’t feel it’s worth the full rack price they are charging at this time.
Wildfire Golf Club-Palmer Signature Course
Course was in fantastic condition just coming off over seed. However, I wanted a sandwich before teeing off, nothing available but a sit down option and I was appalled that parking to play golf was $10. If that is standard practice for the Wildfire Golf Club.. I will not return.
Wildfire always fantastic
Wildfire was exceptional yet again. Just before the overseed so the Bermuda Greens were difficult for this Canadian as we don’t get much Bermuda in Canada!
Only negative was the range was closed for overseeing but that is expected this time of year in the desert. Had a pre round pint instead on the lovely shaded patio… 10/10 for the day…
Prepare for bunkers
The Faldo course has 180 bunkers! Luckily I didn’t find them often. Greens were a little slow but the course was in good shape overall. Great deal on the hot deal.
excellent course
I found that this course covers everything excellent.
Shortened round
The course was in nice shape, but we only played 12 holes. Huge winds and rain.
Sand on Steroids
Crazy amount of tough bunkers on this course. Greens were true but protected by sand all around most holes. Even though course was almost empty slow groups consistently held up pace. I got a deal on price but how could you have a higher priced course without any Marshalls monitoring. Not one. Driving range was closed but chipping & putting areas were good. Bag staff was good as well. Too many other nice courses here. This is a pass.
