Style Desert/Executive
Par 66
Length 4353 yards
Slope 112
Rating 64.7

The course at the Sunbird Golf Resort is a desert-style course that offers three sets of tee boxes to accommodate most skill levels. This executive length golf course has a country club-type atmosphere and offers a good round of golf. The greens are medium sized with some that are multi-tiered and narrow fairways. Bunkers and trees are also present on the course, adding some challenge since they can greatly affect shots. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. In addition to the executive course at Sunbird Golf Resort, the facility also offers a putting area and chipping green as well as a fully stocked pro shop.

Good course if you're a teetotaler

Course is fine, policies are not. Ordered a beer in the restaurant at the turn, and was told we could not take it on the course with us. What? That's right, no alcohol allowed on the course. Never ran into a rule like this in 16 years of golfing.

Sunbird golf course was a pleasant surprise.

We teed off on time and had very little waiting.
Everyone there is very friendly and I really enjoyed the people out putting up Christmas decorations as we stopped to briefly visit and remark on their efforts.
The course was in good condition and the greens were rolling true.
Lots of variety and fun to be had. I recommend giving Sunbird a try!

This course has something for everyone.

This par 66 course has something for everyone. The are challenging holes over water and beside water. It has dog leg holes and short to medium par 3’s. If you are lucky enough to golf with a member…that doubles the fun of Sunbird Golf Course

This course was not up to expectations

The driving range had a limit of 170 yards, the carts were poorly maintained, the grill was setback and not quick with a to go order, the course did not have a liquor license, and overall amenities were lacking. We will not return regardless of price.

No liquor license but lots of “empties” in the trash bins throughout the course

Sunbird golf course

It was a good round of golf. Pace of play was good. Waited a little on the front nine but sailed thru the back. Would have liked a few more years markers since I didn’t bring my watch.
