Play here inthe Phoenix Desert

The Faldo course is a great experience and a real gem in the desert. The course was in immaculate shape. Challenging but playable for an intermediate player. I enjoyed it very much. A little pricey for the morning tee time but I will be back for sure

No restaurants until 11

Had a 9am t time and wanted to get a Bloody Mary and a plate of breakfast before my round and I was informed the only restaurant opens at 11 which isn’t very resort esc if you know what I mean. Other then that the Palmer course was absolutely fantastic, practice facilities could use newer balls but that’s just nitpicking. Overall 4 stars would be 5 if there was just a open restaurant before my morning rounds

Amazing Experience!

Course was amazing and the staff was super friendly. The course was exactly what I expected from a Phoenix course. Amazing views on almost every hole. It was great.
