The Faldo Championship Course at Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix is a standout desert course designed by golf legend Sir Nick Faldo. Stretching up to 6,846 yards across 174 acres, it puts a fresh spin on the classic desert golf experience with wide fairways, expansive greens, and multiple tee boxes that make it playable for all skill levels. Unlike tighter target-style layouts, Faldo’s design emphasizes strategy and shot variety, enhanced by striking surroundings of century-old cacti and rugged mountain backdrops. A defining feature is the 108 dramatic pot bunkers strategically scattered throughout the course, adding a distinct links-inspired challenge. Since opening, the course has earned praise for its memorable holes — including the #2 hole, recognized by The Arizona Republic as one of the ultimate 18 holes in the Valley. Wildfire Golf Club’s Faldo Course continues to be an award-winning favorite for golfers seeking a scenic, fair, and thoughtfully crafted round in the heart of the Arizona desert. |
