Reviews
Faldo Course-Wildfire Golf Course
From the moment I arrived the whole experience with staff,set up and then playing was outstanding. Over from Australia, first time playing this course, and third trip to Arizona, and I can honestly say it’s right up their with the best that I’ve played…
Course was in immaculate condition, greens were pure to putt on, and you could not get a bad lie on any fairway. I honestly highly recommend this course to anyone, I for sure will be back to play the other resort Course on next trip
Thanks for the super price I got on this course

Great course!
We thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf on this beautiful course! My husband and I were paired with two nice young men. The course was in great condition, August is a pretty warm month for Arizona, but we played well! Would recommend highly!
Will play again
Course was in great shape and played fair for my level
Arnold Palmer Course
Always wanted to play this course and finally I did! It was worth the wait and the course was in amazing shape! The staff was awesome, the clubhouse was great, and well I can go on and on about this course but you should really see and play it for yourself! Thanks to everyone at Wildfire!
Challenging, yet fair course in great shape
Faldo course was in great summer shape due to recent rains although those rains kept them from mowing the fairways daily as they need to. So the fairways were lush and green but also pretty shaggy and moist for AZ summer golf which meant that the course played LONG! :) We zoomed around as a twosome in 3 hours after an early Sunday tee-time. Staff couldn't have been nicer, range was in great shape and we saw cart girl about 4 times. Overall great experience. Yes, you are definitely paying premium rates considering it's summer, but everything about the round and facility was first rate
i'll be back
beast of a course , challenging time plotting my way around it . loved it and want to play it again
Nice course
My Wife and I enjoyed another round at The Palmer course . We appreciate the conduction of the course in general , but especially the greens. We will be back
Impressive
This was our first time playing this course , and both of us were impressed. The maintenance detail was outstanding , bunkers were raked , trimmed and maintained, and the greens were excellent. We look forward to playing this course again .
Will play again
Course was in great shape with very open fairways. I was fortunate to stay out of the bunkers the whole day or it would have played much more difficult for me.
One of two great courses here, play them both
The Palmer course is a bit less challenging than the Faldo but not by much. Outstanding design and perfect greens.
Two great courses here, play them both
Falco course is a bit more difficult than the Palmer. Lots of elevated greens. Putting was perfect.
Delightful
Faldo has become one of my two favorite courses in Phoenix, the other being Raven. You can tell a lot has been invested in this course to create wide forgiving fairways, pristine bunkers and silky smooth greens. Unfortunately I can only afford to play it in the summer months.
