JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

Enjoy Palmer over Faldo. Palmer gives you better low scoring chances if you make the shots needed.

Bunkers could use some more sand. Last three holes cart path only do to damage the groundskeeper has let happen not keeping up to the fairway.

Course is not as good as expected, and is overpriced

Nice and peaceful not a lot off noise for a resort course

Really enjoyed the round, greens, layout were excellent. Don’t miss this so playable track.

Look forward to returning here in the fall.

The staff members were more interested in talking to each other than us. They told us not to tee off early and the first tee box is not near the starter box. We teed off on time but the group in front of us had gone early (not in sight). On the back nine, the marshal told us we needed to speed up even though their GPS said we were exactly on time. We finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes as a foursome. The course had put two threesomes behind us. If you have a designated pace on your GPS then you should not tell people to speed up when they are on pace.

The course was in great shape but the configuration of hole length extremely variable. From the White tee box, many par fours were 420 to 430 yards but some were under 300 yards. Unusual layout. The bunkers were numerous and well placed but many fairway bunkers had 1/8 inch of sand over hardpan.

1000 percent i would plan a trip to play these two courses again. I play tons of golf and have become a little bit of a snob regarding golf courses. PLAY THESE TWO COURSES THEY ARE FANTASTIC CONDITIONS, PACE OF PLAY AND A VERY WELCOMING STAFF. Fantastic location also

Im a 2.7 index and our group played from the back tees. Wildfire is being slept on. Now this is one of my go to courses on my next trip December 2024. Both courses are in fantastic condition. The greens on the Palmer course were faster. The Palmer course tightens up in the landing areas off the tees. I believe the Faldo course had been over seeded a week before we played. The Faldo course in my opinion is an incredible design along with being playable from all tee boxes. LOTS OF BUNKERS BTW! Both courses: Tees manicured and flat, fairways slightly soft and the greens near flawless. Pace of play was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We happened to get paired up with a member and he was very helpful pointing out potential trouble. Fantastic person also It was very cool to see so many enormous cactus in a classic desert layout. I love these two courses and can't say enough great things about them.

Great day at wildfire, super value on the hot deal!

Course was in great shape. Resort-style layout. Pace of play was excellent - we nearly had the place to ourself on a Sunday afternoon (3.5hr round). Decent value for the Scottsdale area where things tend to be pricey.

My girlfriend and I played the Faldo Course at Wildfire Golf Club early in the morning before work - a fun and enjoyable challenge.

The conditions were good, though not exceptional. The greens rolled well, but a few areas of the course could use some extra care. While the course doesn’t quite hit the “wow” factor, it’s a solid choice for an enjoyable round.

I have played this course numerous times over the years. Always in good condition except greens are at times slow. Just a fun course to play.
