Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort
About
Faldo Championship Course at the Wildfire Golf Club measures as long as 6,846 yards, depending on which tees you're shooting from, and lies on 174 acres and features some differences from the average desert-themed golf courses. Faldo offers abundant fairways, big bentgrass greens and tee boxes, as well as the golf course's neighboring mountains, century-old saguaro cacti and 106 sand bunkers - which remind golfers of Aussie sand-belt golf courses, which gives it a magnificent locale for golfers.
Wildfire Golf Club is much-feted: When the Faldo Championship Course opened, the Arizona Republic selected hole No. 2 among the valley's 18 best. The golf course received recognition among the 2006 Travel & Leisure Golf's "World's Best Golf Resorts" for family getaways and in the 2006 Conde Nast Traveler rundown of the "Top 100 Golf Resorts in North America." These are in addition to the Gold Tee Award from Meetings & Conventions Magazine.

BIG TIME Value from GN !
Wildfire at Desert Ridge is an outstanding faculty W/2 truly top shelf courses available there ! On a Sunday as a single I was fortunate enough to be grouped W/some real fun players & ENJOYED not only the Faldo course(My fav) but their company as well !
OverSeedin' has been completed enough to not be restricted to cart paths, it really added to excellent pace of play. Conditions on course were very good, greens are smooth and will benefit w/another level of "cut" to increase speed, already at a nice pace. Fairways AND rough are LUSH so watch where tee shots end-up in the thick stuff as U could roll right over them.
Outside service Guys R ALWAYS pleasant & glad We enjoy OurSelves there -THANKS !
Great course , good shape , nice views
It was well worth the money , great course , well kept , great service !
Nice course and friendly staff
I was a single golfer playing this course for the first time and the staff managed to put me with a 3 ball which was good as I hate playing on my own. Practice facilities are excellent and it's easy to warm up with range balls and putting greens. Golf buggy was equipped with a GPS system that worked well and gave accurate yardages. Pity it locked me out a few times when I was nowhere near the green!
It's a pricey course for sure but as long as you play conservative golf you will find it relatively easy to shoot par. Keep out of the bunkers as they are huge.
The course layout is OK but some of the pin positions were evil. I guess the Greenkeeper was in a bad mood that day.
