Never Dissapoints
Wildfire is well managed and maintained from arrival to departure. the outside staff is particularly helpful and friendly
Stacking up the birdies
Good time today at the Wildfire Palmer course. A special shoutout to Davey Two Ball for making 2 consecutive birdies on hole 5 and 6. Also, birding the 5th hole 2 times in a row in consecutive rounds 🏆🏆
Pace of play
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.
Top Notch Course and Staff
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.
nice
Price was because of the Phoenix summer heat.
Course in great shape
Was over 100 degress but over cast made play okay
Regular rate i'm sure is a lot more than the 40 I paid
Excellent
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
Desert Course
Course in excellent shape especially fairways and greens. Played Palmer Course, fairly wide open off the tee, greens generally large, lots of sand around greens and many fairway bunkers. Pace was excellent, completed round at 4 hours. Tho some houses on course, rarely see except when on some tee boxes, don't really see when on course.
Will return to play Faldo course
You just wanna stay forever
The course was awesome tee boxes were amazing and the greens had a great speed.
The course provided a challenge that some golfers need not test.
Definitely one to remember , I played in 100 degrees and it wasn’t bad to play all 18. Lots of water at every other hole!
Great time playing here, first time out but I will definitely be back! Played the Faldo course, enjoyed everything about the place!
