My wife and I stayed at the Phoenician for the first time this past weekend for our anniversary.  I had heard many good things about the hotel so I expected the same to be true for the golf course.  I found the golf course decidedly average.  The conditions were actually slightly below average.  With so many great courses in Phoenix, I would recommend skipping this one as its nothing special.  On top of that, the 19th hole alcohol was absurdly priced.  They did have a tremendous beer selection however if that interests you.
