Arizona Golf Vacations

Wildfire Golf Club

Wildfire Golf Club is a 36-hole golf facility located in Northeast Phoenix just minutes from Scottsdale, Arizona. Home to both Faldo and Palmer, two courses both named after their designers; these two desert gems truly depict luxury at its finest. The courses are apart of the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and is a perfect scene for a stay and play golf vacation to Arizona.

The Palmer golf course at Wildfire is the original course boasting wide tee boxes and greens. Palmer offers a target oriented layout with fairways that are slightly narrower that its sister course yet still considered generous. Beware of some blind tee shots that lead into split fairways. Errant shots may be played from some desert spots; however, there are certain areas of the course where the desert is thick and dense.

The Faldo golf course is a true desert course with no water present anywhere on the golf course. The fairways are forgiving and lined with desert vegetation. There are 108 sand traps on the golf course. The holes are closer together, which allows an errant shot to land on a neighboring fairway where in fact you may play from that neighboring fairway to make it straight to the green.

Scenic Fact: Enjoy an amazing backdrop of Camelback Mountain from Hole #6 on the Palmer Course. It is the most scenic hole on the course. Bring your camera!
