The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale

Back nine is challenging and lots of fun!

The front nine feels crowded w all the construction and condos so close to the course.

My son and I had our first golf outing in the Phoenix area. We are both from the east coast and wanted to experience the desert courses. We played a number of courses in the Scottsdale area but The Phoenician was by far the best. The facilities, staff and course are top notch. The home construction adjacent to the various parts of the course can be a little off putting. At the same time that means progress and success for the resort so we were willing to put up with it. The course layout and vistas were spectacular. I would definitely recommend this course to everyone.

Postcard views from most holes. Grounds crews everywhere constantly maintaining the course.

Only issue is lack of forewarning ( booked online . not through their website) that in October, carts on path only during fairway reseeding. Was difficult my mobility impaired partner who couldn't finish.

This course had just recently opened up after reseeding, and it was excellent. From the practice facilities (range, chipping area and putting green), to tee boxes, fairways and greens on the course everything was in great condition. The weather was perfect, the staff was great and even the couple that I was paired with were all very nice. If you get a change this is a must play course. Highly recommended.

This is an expensive $170 resort course. It is not special; regardless of the high price. We also paid $50 for mediocre Callaway rental clubs. The wedge had seen way better days. The rest was OK at best. I would prefer rentals that at least give you a choice of mallet or blade. The carts were nice and the staff were awesome. The course was not green at all. It also plays short and was just not that interesting.

Course was is great shape. Great mix of challenge and strategy Would definitely play it again.

The course was in great shape and the layout is spectacular. It’s a long drive from hole 9 to 10 but when you get there take it all in. The views on the back 9 are what Arizona golf is all about. It was a great morning of golf and will visit again on my next trip.

But the rental clubs I received were junk....don’t expect this a magnificent venue....otherwise everything was great.

course was in excellent condition with friendly staff

Well maintained from tee to greens. Pace was excellent. Freindly staff. Will definitely play again on next trip to Scottsdale.

In general, course was in very good shape, particularly given the AZ summer heat. Tee boxes = excellent, fairways = very good; greens = very good (a little bumpy on a few holes); sand traps = generally good, though depth of sand was inconsistent; pace of play = very good (3:40 for threesome); value = very good (with TeeOff rewards). Major construction project detracted from serenity in front 9. Plan ahead if using distant driving range, as access is through construction site and no cart path is in place, delaying movement to/from. Chipping and putting practice area was excellent. Water stops along the way, as well as multiple places where bottled water is available. Challenging but fair course. Hope to return soon.
