Rating 64.7

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.

Great little course!

Loved the course—lots of fun par 3’s surrounded by homes. Only thing missing was a beverage cart or better amenities after hole 9. Restrooms were confusing to find. Will definitely be back!!

Terrible pace

Had a 3:52 tee time…went off approximately 4:05…had a group of 6(!!!) go off at about 3:45…absolutely horrible pace of play…. that group held everyone up…finished about 6:10 for 9(!!)holes.

Have absolutely no plans to return…sad.

Enjoyable/Playable/Scorable

Really like paying SunBird - we have been in Mesa for 3 weeks and have played several courses - this was the best course in tears of O/A condition tee to green. Definitely something we would play again
