The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale

Always a joy to be on property at the Phoenician almost hate to give it 5 stars cause like it to remain a bit of a secret.

First time at PGC. Very fun course. A taste of desert golf but fair and not penal like others I've played. Kind of short but bunkering makes up for it. Got great rate on golfnow.

We played the middle tees (6000 yards), but don't be fooled by the shorter distance, if you are not hitting straight the desert will grab your ball on numerous holes. Due to the slopes of the fairways, they are sometimes effectively half as wide as they appear from the tee unless you can hit a fade or draw when needed. Greens were in good shape excepting a lot of unfixed ball marks. The constant challenge with Phoenician is reading the greens, the Camelback mountain slope makes most balls break away from it, even when it appears the greens are slanting toward the mountain. The cart GPS was incorrect up to 20 yards at times, but did not impact us as we had rangefinders anyway. I always enjoy the Phoenician just for the stunning views, and the price was great at $47. Two months ago you would have paid $150 or more. This course will force you to concentrate on hitting the fairway more than most, but when you go back to a course not as tight, you'll feel like you're playing in a city park.

Fab..very well maintained.. Very pleasing to the eye..greens in "GREAT" shape!!!!

breathtaking views. great conditions. Played in 3.5 hours.

Challenging layouts. Enjoyed the facilities

As one might expect for a resort course, this is 27 holes squeezed into odd space restrictions, which results in too many bad holes. Course is pleasant and well maintained but it is not a great course.

The top golf resort in Scottsdale period! ! !

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this course. Excellent condition with very friendly staff. A great round of golf.

This course was in excellent shape. The greens were very fast and the fairways were well maintained. There are some very good elevation changes that gave great views of the valley and city of Phoenix. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

The three of us loved the course and would play it again the next time in Scottsdale. It has challenging holes on it and some easier ones. It was a great experience.

Played the canyon/oasis course. The course was perfectly maintained and the greens rolled true. Some blind shots made it hard for a first time playing the course but it is an instant favorite.

Good course. Need rangers to be more visible

People started slowing way down on back nine.

Great greens am fairways. In a lot of places looks like a living room carpet.

On the short side, but challenged you to place some shots to stay out of the desert.

Can't think of any negatives about our experience at the Phoenician. Price was right thanks to Golf now and we were treated very well by the staff.

Loves this course. Great time

Enjoyed playing The Phoenician 3/28 and came back and played it again 4/2.

Still one of my Top 5 all time. I save it for last whenever I am in Phoenix !!

If you like resort golf this is your kind of course! Will go back !

The course is in excellent shape and the pace of play was perfect. The course was challenging but very fair. The risk to reward shots really are important here.

Course was in great condition, greens rolled well, par 3's very challenging with water and variety of distances, liked risk/reward par 5's. Nice views of Camelback and city from above. Only negative is only 6200 yards from back but enjoyed the conditions and layout. Definitely looking forward to a return trip.
