This is a review of the practice area. Guests at the resort get free use of the practice area. I gave it a try. There are two courses on the property and both look to be in great shape. But the practice area certainly wasn't. Being a lefty, I found one small area of grass in one stall. But all the other areas were chewed up. To get to my hitting stall, I had to walk across at least 30 yards of pristine grass. For the life of me, I don't understand why they couldn't have moved the tees back 3 yards and given all the golfers some grass to hit off of.

Played this course this week since we were guests at the resort and we loved it. The course was immaculately maintained, fairways wide, putts were challenging and the course layout was well thought out. Make sure your bunker game is on fire because you’ll absolutely find yourself in one or three during your round. 10/10 will absolutely be visiting this course when we return to AZ.

Faldo Course - April 21, 2025 Price - $102 (3:00pm) Includes - Cart, Waters, Range, Short Game Area Course Condition - 8.5/10 Green Speeds - Very Fast, True Pace of Play - Very Good Good - Value, Overall Course Quality, Friendly Staff Bad - Amount of Bunkers with poor quality sand Could Be Better - Lack of quality grass on the range A very fun track with a fair challenge for all levels of golfer. Nick Faldo use of bunkering in key landing areas and greenside to leave you hating your life if you find them. If you avoid them, it is a rather fair test of strategic golf. The views get better and better, with the back nine being phenominal during twilight rounds. For it’s price point, it was a highly satisfying experience.

Great condition resort course. I would not doubt that it is amazing in the in-season, seeing how it was spectacular even in the dead of the summer in 110+ degree weather. I played the Palmer side, was told that it was the harder side of the two, that the Faldo side had more scenic views. Still all in all was quite prestine and scenic on the Palmer side. When I got there, from proshop staff to outside services staff, everyone was super friendly and accommodating. I was supposed to play with a friend, but unfortunate circumstances occurred and his girlfriend had to go to urgent care and hospital. I informed staff about situation and they accommodated by allowing me to wait to see if my friend could make it and push our tee time back almost two hours. Practice facilities were excellent, with a members area practice green and separated driving range for members and also driving range for regular guests and chipping green with bunkers. Course conditions were great, no complaints, bunkers well kept and greens, phenomenal. I say this because most courses are in punching process to make summer season and they had either already punched weeks ago or were gearing up to soon. They rolled true and beautiful. 5 star review for course and staff, will definitely return delighted!!!

I don’t normally write reviews, but I want to warn my northern climate folks. Please spend your money elsewhere, Dinosaur Mountain, Ak Chin Southern Dunes, We Ko Pa, Grayhawk, The Phoenician, etc. For a course known for its bunkers, the Faldo course’s were not in good shape at all. Tack on a $250 plus price tag and I’d say go with the Palmer course instead. The greens were in good shape and the tee boxes were flat, but you can get that for less in the Phoenix area.
