Reviews
Wildfire - Faldo - many great Bunker locations
The Faldo course is great fun to play. It challenges the golfer with many strategic bunkers around the course and they and the course the very well maintained.
Excellent course
I like wildfire quite a bit challenging but fun and you don’t end up taking a lot of shots from the desert
Wildfire Palmer
A challenging course that requires you to hit target distances and alignments. Hit too short or too long and you’ll find the bunkers or natural washes. Hit off line and you will be in desert scrub or the water. Conditions are excellent. Greens, fairways and bunkers are all in great shape. No time upon hitting in the fairway did i feel I got cheated because of landing on poor grass or bare ground. The greens all rolled consistently and fairly.
Scottsdale Tommy
Great local course for Valley residents. Price was exceptional and locals could only hope more AZ courses would give a chance to full time locals a fair price and play 🏌🏼♂️🏌🏼♂️
Faldo Course in Great Shape
From tee to green, the Faldo course was in very good playing condition. The greens were a bit slow and some sand traps were wet. Apart from that, enjoyed the round, with a slow start with a twosome in front of us, but the marshal encouraged them to quicken their pace (less than 4 hour round for our threesome). Great value with GolfNow hot deal. Go before prices increase….
WILDFIRE WOW FALDO COURSE!!!
First class all the way! Dropped my bag at the cart guys stand. They had it all ready and on the cart when i made it back from the oarking lot. Since i hadnt played here before they gave me some tips on the course 110 bunkers?!?!?!?!? I ended up in a few!! Cool towels! Lots of water! Overall spectacular experience
I WILL BE BACK!!
Wildfire -Faldo
Course was in excellent condition and pace of play was fast - finished in 3hr and 20min
Well Kept, Challenging
The course was in great shape, especially for mid August. Challenging layout, great fairways, only downside was the greens were a bit hairy but still very well kept, im assuming left a bit longer due to how dry it is this time of year.
Worth the money
Another enjoyable round
This course is a must play , the course is well maintained and a great challenge. I would highly recommend
Decent course
Pretty decent course, greens a bit rough. Great service by employees and pro shop!
Nice course
The course is fun to play but does provide a challenge. The course overall is in very good condition especially for summertime . The greens are firm and roll as they should . Lots of long holes including a 600 plus yard par 5 . Nice course , we will be back
