Desert/Canyon at Phoenician, The

Very enjoyable layout and pace of play. Some holes views were impacted by significant construction at the resort. Staff very friendly and great parking.

I’ll definitely be back to play this track! I enjoyed the front nine more than back nine. It looks like the back nine was reconstructed recently but the views from back nine were incredible

This course is fun, yet challenging. The greens are extremely challenging. The course layout is really good. I had a great time playing this course.

course is playing well. grass is still new, so plays longer than later in the season. carts are allowed at 90. greens are as pure as ever and in excellent condition. pace of play is below average with 5 hours to complete 18. back nine routing is a bit confusing but the views are worth it. food is great at the snack bar or restaurant upstairs. and staff is wonderful. (bring a desert club if you don’t want to hit off crushed granite rock)

Like all courses in Arizona a lot of them are overpriced, but this was a fun course to play and had absolutely beautiful scenery!

Returned for another round since the course revamp. Remembered course for being a fun layout with interesting holes and great views. Did not disappoint second time around! A good challenge while not being overly difficult. Pick the correct tees for your abilities and you will have a lot of fun. Staff is friendly. Pace was good - carts are a must. Nicely maintained. Convenient location to downtown Scottsdale and PHX.

Expensive but nothing out of the ordinary for Phoenix in the winter. You get what you pay for and we had a fast round with a great practice range on a course in terrific condition. 10 minute tee time intervals made for a fast pace of play.

The back 9 is the far more interesting side. You have holes right up against the mountains and great views of the valley. The front 9 was a flat down and back course through a residential community. Several holes with doglegs where the driver is taken out of the hands.

Greens ran well (a little slow). Difficult greens - lots of levels and well placed bunkers that will punish you. No water hazards on holes 10-15. Tee boxes were flat and Par 3's weren't full of divots.

Drinks at the turn were not easily accessible, had to go upstairs into the bar to order. Drink cart only came around once on our 3rd hole. Water jugs were not present at tee boxes, however after hole 13 (?) there was a cooler full of water.

Golf carts were relatively new and had GPS, carts would lock up if you were too close to the green. The cart path was weird the entire course - it's a long drive from 9 to 10, we missed the turn from 16 to 17 (the sign was on a construction wall and blended in), and there were several confusing turn arounds for greens and tee boxes (hole 2 in particular).

This was the slowest round I have ever played.

It took us 5 1/2 hours to finish our round
