JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

The Faldo course was a little more friendly off the tee than most, with larger fairways, but still challenging due to a lot of bunkers. The far sides of the fairways also had longer grass than many courses in Phoenix/Scottsdale, so it helped the ball stay in play more. Other courses seem to have such hard, short grass on the perimeter that it can sometimes kick out after a less-than-perfect shot. I'll be back.

First time playing. Paid 69$, Great shape for this time of year was done in under 4 hours. Somehow avoided all the bunkers so can't speak on how the sand traps were besides they looked good.

Course was in great shape for the most part. Greens were a little rough. Seemed like they could’ve used a little more sand when top dressing. Greens were shaggy and slow. I get it, it’s summer and transitioning. Fairways and roughs were prime. Lots of Bermuda. The greens were just rough to putt on and to get a good reading. Aerifying holes throughout. Overall, love playing Wildfire whether it’s the Palmer and/or the Faldo. Bunkers were in great shape. I tip my hat to the maintenance crew on their efforts, the outside services for their friendliness, and the beverage staff.

The course was in great condition,especially for early August. Played it twice on this trip.

This place is awesome! Great course, great shape, great layout … really enjoyed playing here!

So played in about 3 1/2 hours. Staff very friendly at curb and pro shop. GPS in cart. Greens continue to get better after punch a few weeks ago. Course is green and in great shape. Bunkers continue to need work following monsoon a few weeks ago which washed out a lot of sand. Some debris of trees still being removed too. Definitely still a great play and fantastic on course beverage cart.

Found the course in very good summer condiation , the greens were fast and smooth , bunkers were well maintained with ample sand Cart girl was friendly with a well stacked cart ; Marshall came to say hello twice . Overall this is a must play course and we will be back

Throughly enjoyed our round , the course is in summer great condition . The greens / fairways are in super shape , bunkers are neat and trimmed , but could use a bit more sand . I would highly recommend this course .

great course, good condition for the time, sand traps were un playable ,,, concrete otherwise,, very nice

A beautiful course that is in very good condition from tee box to green. Played the round in 3 hours.

Or bring a dozen balls. Some fun holes but the desert swallows balls.

Course in very good shape. They should be embarrassed with conditions on bunkers. Horrendous for a course of this caliber

I stayed at the JW Marriott resort in Phoenix and had an amazing time.

The Palmer course is in excellent condition. I played the Faldo course only once because of the greens being punched, but I really loved the layout!

When the greens finally come around probably in about 2 more weeks, this course will be awesome!!!

So after playing the Palmer course, decided to play the Faldo course. This course is a little more challenging than Palmer. More undulation and sloping greens here. A lot more bunkers too. GPS in cart, 3 hour round, a lot of work going on around Course from storm a week ago. Greens were still pretty good from aeration a couple of weeks ago. Bunkers are in need of attention. But great course and challenging.
