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.

Greens were punched

Layout is cool, great views, fun course overall. It should be noted that the greens had just been punched, especially for $90 in the off season.

Course ruined by developers

Have played the Phonecian many times over the years always enjoyed the 3 nines but not since they renovated the course due to developers, what a disappointment, will never go back, did not like the rerouted course layout

Classic layout ruined

Have play the old layout at Phoenician golf resort, several times before the property development ruined this golf resort. The front nine made up from what remained of whatever nones that remained after the 🏠 ng development, the back I think is one of the original but not sure, overall was very disappointed as these courses where among our favorites to play before COVID, and travelling from Canada and playing it now I can't recommend to others..sorry play other course not Phoenician

Fun, but silly golf course

The course is in impeccable shape. Be prepared, there's not a flat putt anywhere out there. Too many two or three tiered greens. On the back nine, very difficult to keep the ball in play.
Stopped by the Tavern afterwards. The Wagyu pastrami Reuben is incredible. Probably won't play the course again, but happy to have tried it once. Just not my cup of tea.

Funky little golf course

Certainly not what I expected for a resort course. Narrow fairways, hilly layout and heavily sloped greens. There is not a straight putt out there. But the course is in impeccable shape. It's actually quite fun to play. And regardless of what you think after you play it, stop by the Tavern. I had what can only be described as the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had.
