Phoenician round up!

Course was nice! I’m just not a fan of playing fairways sandwiched by houses. But Conditions were amazing everything green nice bunkers. The Vack nine opened up with no housing but looks like it coming as construction is on its way. Definitely play your ball towards the mountains on the back everything slopes down. Beautiful views! But just me. Not a fan having to drive a 1/4 mile to the next tee.

Course is great if you can get on for $150 or less. Way too slow of play to be charged in the upper $200's.

Pace of Play TERRIBLE

the course was great - but total lack of staff and professionalism. The pace of play was the worst I have ever seen at this level of golf course.

Immaculate Shape - Quirky Layout

First time to play the Phoenician golf course. Back tees listed at a little over 6500 yards, but seemed like it played longer. Fairways, greens and bunkers all in great shape. The superintendent must have been in a bad mood because most of the pin placements were on hills/knobs on the greens. In several instances we had to wait for the group in front of us to clear the tee before we could drive up because the cart path cut back in front of the tees. Awkward. And pack a lunch for the drive from the 9th green to the 10th tee. Overall, a fun day.

Unique Desert/Mountain Experience

First time playing and it won’t be my last ! Staff was extremely Friendly and helpful with all of our questions and needs. The course itself offers a plethora of challenges and opportunities. Great layout with different styles of holes that allow risk/reward golf. Views from the back nine increase as the course tightens and adds extra challenges.

Only drawback for me was that the majority of fairways and greens are lined by homes and that can play with the mental game and take away from the experience. This is amplified on the 18th hole and takes away from one of the most fun holes on the course.

Price point is high but the course conditions were excellent so felt that there was good value for the money

Spectacular!

One of the nicest courses I've played to date! The back nine is certainly more challenging than the front but the scenery on the back nine is unbelievable. Enjoyed the round thoroughly.

Fun, but silly golf course

The course is in impeccable shape. Be prepared, there's not a flat putt anywhere out there. Too many two or three tiered greens. On the back nine, very difficult to keep the ball in play.

Stopped by the Tavern afterwards. The Wagyu pastrami Reuben is incredible. Probably won't play the course again, but happy to have tried it once. Just not my cup of tea.

Funky little golf course

Certainly not what I expected for a resort course. Narrow fairways, hilly layout and heavily sloped greens. There is not a straight putt out there. But the course is in impeccable shape. It's actually quite fun to play. And regardless of what you think after you play it, stop by the Tavern. I had what can only be described as the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had.
