The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale

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.

A disappointment. Grass is very average. You play next to the highway and houses on the first nine. A lot of construction. Greens average. Overall Phoenician is very average and the price high. If you pay more than $45 a round, you are overpaying. I can think of 20 courses in the area better than this one with prices much more reasonable.

We had a marvelous day on the course. Stopped in for a small plate of seventeen dollar nachos....whoa! Imported avocados?
