The Phoenician Golf Course in Scottsdale, Arizona

Architect Phil Smith has created an outstanding facility for golf enthusiasts — a cohesive, 18-hole course showcasing the unique beauty of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert.

Everything is in front of the golfer, with no surprise bunkers or blind hazards. Designed to provide a natural rhythm and flow, the course plays to a par 71 and offers four sets of tees, ranging from 4,575 yards from the forward tees to 6,518 yards from the players’ tees. Complementing it are the Golf Pro Shop, locker rooms and 19th Hole dining venue.
