The Phoenician Golf Club reopened in the fall of 2018 after a massive redesign and renovation by Scottsdale-based architect Phil Smith. The new 18-hole layout replaces the original 27-hole routing. Every hole is new, featuring TifEagle grass greens and tees, fairways and rough that are 419 Bermuda grass. The golf shop has been expanded as well, and the Club Car golf carts have been outfitted with the "Shark Experience" - a new golf technology with a high-definition touch screen and built-in speakers for playing music and watching live sports, news and entertainment, along with GPS yardage.

Bring you own booze

Seriously. The prices for drinks out here are insane. $90 for 2 bloodys, a double jemison and 2 beers. I'm fine paying for my drinking at a golf course, but, this is nuts

Beautiful Course

Great course and layout. $65 rate as a hot deal of Golf Now made it very attractive. Played as a single and did catch up to a twosome at one point, but just allowed me to work on game a little. Saw bev cart 4 times and a Marshall did stop by and said they moved along a group that was dragging

first time

was excited to see a $40 round come up on the day, greens were slow, $10 beers was a bit much considering it was so hot and i am always thirsty... great city views from i think the 14th up against the hillside. north of $120usd in peak time, not too sure.

Phoenician

Course in great shape for the AZ summer heat.
Plenty of water and cart service on a 107* day.
One of the few courses with playable sand traps.

The Phoenician

Very friendly staff, excellent amenities, golf carts are first class, bottled water on the course and very scenic views on the back 9, the course was in very good condition despite the construction going on around some areas of the course. Great experience overall.

So many other options

Basically charging 100 for a course that is in absolutely horrible shape. Troon should be fined for this. Greens were in good shape but everything else in course was horrible. Fairways were half dead and there was enough water to save Somalia. So many better options for the price take ride to any other course for $100

Always a fun course

Appears they are letting the fairways die for summer seed. Greens and rest of the course were in great condition though. Love the layout

Great Place to Play

Played with some cool people staying at the resort. The views on the back 9 are amazing. Shot an 86 and made some new friends. I'll play here again.
