Sunbird Golf Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
The course at the Sunbird Golf Resort is a desert-style course that offers three sets of tee boxes to accommodate most skill levels. This executive length golf course has a country club-type atmosphere and offers a good round of golf. The greens are medium sized with some that are multi-tiered and narrow fairways. Bunkers and trees are also present on the course, adding some challenge since they can greatly affect shots. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. In addition to the executive course at Sunbird Golf Resort, the facility also offers a putting area and chipping green as well as a fully stocked pro shop.

course in very good shape
Tee boxes, fairways and greens all very nice. Nice for an executive course. Not very long but some challenging holes. Staff pleasant. Played a shotgun start. We were a twosome playing behind a pretty slow foursome so had to wait quite a bit after the first few holes. But it was a beautiful day so not terrible.
Great little course!
I had a wonderful time on this course. The staff, members, and adjoining homeowners were all super nice! It’s a bit short, but it’s fun. Most par 4 holes are drivable in the 250 to 280 range but that’s not always the wisest thing to do. Decent amount of water and bunkers placed strategically to penalize a wayward aggressive shot. The greens rolled true and the fairways were in pretty decent shape. I was fortunate to play with some members that could share how the holes play so I got some inside knowledge and was able to play a very good round as a result. The bunkers were probably the worst part of the course as they were pretty hard and not much fluffy sand, but I’m used to that and don’t hold it against them. It’s apparent that the members care about this course as they volunteer regularly to help keep it in good playing shape. I will definitely be back!
well maintained
Always good conditions and friendly staff (the best around).
BKR Review of Sunbird
The course was in great shape tee to green was great.
This is the 3rd time between last year and this year we have played at Sunbird. Previous visits found a receptive staff throughout the facility. However, this visit was not the same. At the 19th hole we went in for a couple of beers and some lunch at the end of our round. The staff is either shorthanded or not interested in serving paying customers. We sat at the bar waiting to be served for several minutes before being served. Then ignored again for several minutes for a second round plus ordering lunch. Not a good way to gain regular customers.
Great course for the money
Always a pleasure playing at Sunbird. My favorite for an Executive 18. Greens are in great shape.

Top 3 of the valley
I’ve reviewed this course in the past and felt it needed a reboot.
This course is amazing. Par 66 that is beautiful and competitive. I play the blue /white tees. And I always have a fantastic time. It sits at the southern edge of Maricopa County and the community surrounding is very pleasant. Most residents wave as you pass by. Water plays on a few holes and I’ve fell victim a few times.
I highly recommend this one.
I gave two stars for the staff, it doesn’t matter why. I didn’t golf with them, but one particular staffer is not a pleasant person.
But if you look beyond that, you’ll have a great time.
