Reduced from 27 holes to 18 as part of the huge refurbishment programme at the Phoenician resort, the golf course was completely rebuilt and plays up to 6518 yards with a par of 71. With two distinct designs, the front nine and last two holes play a little like a parkland and the 10th to 16th are cut through the hills to provide spectacular target golf. All set next to the luxury hotel and on a plateau overlooking Scottsdale. Managed by Troon Golf, The Phoenician is well worth playing whether you’re a hotel resident or not.
