Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to experience The Phoenician's golf courses?

We find the shoulder seasons-late fall through early spring-offer the most pleasant playing conditions, with comfortable temperatures and less intense desert heat. You'll avoid the scorching summer sun, making your round much more enjoyable, especially on the exposed Canyon and Desert nines.

With three distinct nines, which combination should I play at The Phoenician for the best experience?

If you're looking for a true test, we recommend combining the Canyon and Desert nines for a challenging 18-hole round with stunning elevation changes and strategic bunkering. For a more relaxed, scenic experience, the Oasis nine offers beautiful views and a gentler introduction to the resort's golf.

What can I expect regarding green fees and overall value at The Phoenician?

As a premier resort course, green fees at The Phoenician are on the higher end, especially during peak season, but we believe the immaculate conditions and stunning desert backdrop justify the cost. You'll find top-notch service and a well-maintained course that truly delivers a luxury golf experience.

What makes The Phoenician's golf experience stand out from other Scottsdale courses?

The sheer variety across its three nines is a major highlight; you get distinct challenges and aesthetics without leaving the property. We particularly love the dramatic elevation changes on the Canyon course, offering breathtaking views of Camelback Mountain and the surrounding Sonoran Desert.

How is the pace of play, and what amenities should I take advantage of at The Phoenician?

Pace of play is generally well-managed, though it can slow during peak resort times, so consider an early tee time for a smoother round. Don't miss the practice facilities-they're excellent-and grab a post-round drink at the 19th hole for those incredible desert sunset views.
