Nice, challenging but fun!
Course is very well maintained, beautiful grass. Overall the staff is good and friendly, PROSHOP person was cold like he was doing you a favor , maybe it was not his day, I will definitely come back and play. It’s a must to play this course while visiting Scottsdale.
Great Course
Great course, lots of sand traps, great condition and really fun.
Pleasure to play
Had it not been for the initial attitude of staff at reception an all-out five stars would have been on the cards. To be faire their attitude changed when I was at the starters kiosk and they called to help putting me with a 3-balls instead of being on my own behind several 4-balls.
Christmas Day Golf
Treated myself to a Scottsdale resort course on Christmas Day. I truly enjoyed myself. Lot's of sand. The course is in great shape. The sand was a little bit inconsistent. The greens are both fast and true. The staff was wonderful. And the Urban Tavern next door was a huge plus.
I just might try the other course later on.
There is a lot of sand traps on the course, and there was quite a few of those that had small pebbles in with the sand. There was some wet spots, even on some parts of The fairways
Must be overwatering
Better than Ak-Chin Southern Dunes
Faldo course is top notch, layout is similar to Ak-Chin Southern Dunes but better due to the attention to detail around the edges.
Not fun
This course is extremely challenging. Way over priced for the current condition of the course. I’ve heard the Faldo track is more forgiving but I won’t return to this club.
First Class
Wildfire is fantastic. Greatt fairways, great greens etc……. Get there early hit balls on the range. Their service team is first class….. Bev cart…. They do it right. 75$ thru golf now. You can’t beat it…. Get out here
Must play again
First time to play this course and was introduced to over 100 bunkers. The course was in excellent condition but told we could drive the cart on the fairway only to be restricted by the cart's GPS. The fairways were lush with the winter grass and the greens rolled fast and true. Stay out of the bunkers because you often face high lips. The restaurant was nice and service excellent.
Bravo Faldo
Enjoyed the Faldo course more than the Palmer course. If you play 18 without being in a bunker you are a unicorn. Good pace of play even with cart path only. Nice views on the property and interesting par 3s.
Paying for parking
I think its absolutely ridiculous that they charge you for parking and you don't know ahead of time. I have never paid for parking at any golf course!
