The Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and built in 1997. The par-72 golf course measures 7,145 yards from the tournament tees. "I enjoy designing golf courses that celebrate the sheer fun of golf," Palmer said about this course, "and Wildfire is exactly that."

The Bermuda grass Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club is one of two championship courses at the club. It features a GPS option that offers golfers detailed mapping of the Faldo and Palmer courses, precise yardages for tee shots and approach shots to the greens, and the chance to order breakfast and lunch from the golf cart. Additional features include communication with the golf shop, a CBS Sportsline ticker with all scores 24 hours a day, and the leader board for tournaments. Its sibling, the Faldo golf course, also features the system.

Fantastic experience

This was our first desert course and we absolutely loved it. Course was in perfect shape. Punished bad shots but did allow for a graceful recovery as you could find even the bad shots. Fairways like carpet, the greens were fast and true. The vegetation and wildlife added to a great golfing experience. The golf course associates were excellent. We will absolutely go back.

Fair Experience

Played on Hot Deal, at 1:40pm, great value for the price. Course conditions were good, wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour. Saw the beverage cart once, she quit at 330 pm, no notice there was no food available on cart, no food on the turn in the restaurant either. There was no notice of the non food available, and on top of that, have to you have to pay to park in the golf course parking lot. Exit fee was $10. Not a customer friendly place.

The course was not in the kind of shape you would expect for this price. In addition, very few memorable golf holes.
