Wildfire Golf Club is an upscale daily fee
facility located in Northeast Phoenix. It touts two picturesque 18-hole courses, situated
in the rugged Sonoran Desert, each with its own distinct personality.
"I enjoy designing
golf courses that celebrate the sheer fun of golf, and Wildfire is exactly that."
So says Arnold Palmer, who, along with his Palmer Course Design Company, envisioned and
executed the spectacular layout for Wildfire Golf Club's Palmer Course.
The Palmer Signature
Course, with a slope of 135, is a very playable, scenic experience. The expansive fairways
allow the player to remain in play even on an errant shot. The flashed bunkering on Palmer
is superb, and the putting greens carry plenty of undulation, like many Arnold Palmer
designs. The expansive square footage of the greens (average size is 7,000 square feet)
allow the undulations to create subtle challenges for the short game without feeling
contrived or "tricked up". Golf homes for sale
"I am confident
that the course will inspire golfers of all levels to improve their game. Most of all, my
hope is that everyone who plays the course will be enchanted and thrilled by a unique golf
experience."
Nick Faldo, winner of three Masters and three British opens, says that
this course is not reminiscent of other Arizona layouts, saying that he wants his courses
to have rhythm and flow, with more bark than bite.
The Faldo Championship Course sits on a 174-acre site and offers a slight variation from
the typical desert-theme courses. It features generous fairways, large bent grass greens
and tee boxes. The surrounding mountains and century-old saguaro cacti as well as 106 sand
bunkers, reminiscent of the Australian sand belt courses, provide a spectacular setting
for the golf course and golfing guests.
Wildfire Golf Club
also offers state-of-the-art practice facilities for guests, including an all-grass
driving range, putting and chipping greens, and a fairway bunker.
