Scottsdale, AZ

The Phoenician Golf Club is an 18-hole resort course at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona. It reopened in November 2018 after a 10-month redesign by architect Phil Smith, who cut the resort's original 27 holes to a single 18-hole routing on the existing fairway corridors. The renovation rebuilt the green complexes and recontoured fairways so bunkers and hazards are visible from the tee, with no blind shots. The course plays to a par of 71 from roughly 4,575 to 6,518 yards. It sits within the resort's Sonoran Desert grounds at 6000 East Camelback Road.
