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.

Very friendly pro shop staff, thank you fo being nice!
Fun course, but greens need work!
The course layout is fun/interesting and the staff is great! This was our first time playing the course since fall overseed and while the fairways were decent, the greens overseeding did not go well. The greens were patchy, bumpy and hard. The rating would have been higher but the greens impacted the round significantly with approach shots bouncing off the greens, putts not rolling true, etc. Hopefully they can get some seed to take and fill in and we'll be back!
Sunbird is NOT a phoenix rising from the ashes
Shalimar is better than this place - they have sand in the sand traps - not mud or clay - greens were fast and it rained the night before - just get turf if you are going that direction ALSO Club house manager was awful - Mike told us helpful friendly customer service information as “first timers” AFTER we asked specifically ally if there was anything else we should know about the course
Not friendly not caring not prepared but has potential just not at 50 bucks a head
3/18 holes were in good shape to play
Great time
The course was in excellent condition. Pace of play was fairly slow and backed up often. No beverage/snack service. Would play again!
Sunbird Golf Resort
Nice executive course. Some challenging water. Couple of very short par 3s.
Please work on your bunkers and greens
It’s a great place to play in summer when it’s under 15 dollars but for anything over 30 bucks I would say you’re getting robbed here.
This time of year it’s just miserable, I’ve played this entire course in under 2 hours, yet they’ll let people take 4 hours to play 4000 yards. Pretty sad. Bunkers aren’t sad, they’re clay. Greens need to be blowed off as almost every round I’ve ever played here has leafs all over the green
Optimistic
This was my first time playing this course and I must admit that I was a little intimidated by the proximity of the homes. As a new golfer my confidence on avoiding those homes wasn’t very high, however I’m relieved to say that I avoided the homes.
Fun Day!
Clubhouse setup is a bit awkward, but the course was fun to play.
