JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

The course was right out in front of you no blind spots.

I had no problems with the golf course conditions and pace of play, but it was really a turn off to have to take a parking ticket, and then have to ask your desk person who made it seem like a secret. All this for a $230 round of golf.

Also, there’s no where to drop clubs and the pro shop and starter areas are a long walk apart.

It felt like there’s no reception for guests as they come up to play and it feels like we were imposing on the place.

It was well worth the money , great course , well kept , great service !

I was a single golfer playing this course for the first time and the staff managed to put me with a 3 ball which was good as I hate playing on my own. Practice facilities are excellent and it's easy to warm up with range balls and putting greens. Golf buggy was equipped with a GPS system that worked well and gave accurate yardages. Pity it locked me out a few times when I was nowhere near the green!

It's a pricey course for sure but as long as you play conservative golf you will find it relatively easy to shoot par. Keep out of the bunkers as they are huge.

The course layout is OK but some of the pin positions were evil. I guess the Greenkeeper was in a bad mood that day.

faldo wildfire has a good layout, lots of sand traps, good greens and good bunkering . front 9 was 2 hours. back 2.5, little slow.

I played Wildfire’s Palmer course in 1998 and hadn’t been back since. In 1998, it was the first time I experienced truly first rate conditions and beautiful design. It still is all of that, but I’ve been fortunate to play other great courses over the years, so this one doesn’t blow me away now.
