Anyone ever play Wildfire in Phoenix? I have a friend who is staying there next week and I told him I would try to gather information about the course and maybe a golf partner for his stay. Being in the frozen tundra of North Dakota, I am more than a little jealous.

I've played both of the courses at Wildfire. They are pleasant enough, fun resort type golf, with good conditioning and good service. Not really "must plays," but in the top third of the Phoenix area public access for sure.

The older Palmer course was closed this summer to re-do the greens. The Faldo course is newer and perhaps a little more challenging (lots of bunkers!), the greens are due to be reworked as well sometime after they reopen the Palmer. (both courses were originally grassed with bent greens which just don't thrive in the heat of the Phoenix summer and consequently they are switching to bermuda.) The only thing about Wildfire is that I think they charge way too much. The rack rate is $200 right now. You can do much better for that price. That said, rack rates don't mean much this winter as there seems to be a lot of competition for golfers. Golfnow.com has them for $95/$115. He might get a better rate as a resort guest as well. Don't think I would be able to join him however, pretty busy for the next week and half.

    • He tore his Achilles tendon in February, 2024, and wins 9 months later. He is a machine.
    • But he won at -18 !!! Are you going to complain that it was too easy and boring to watch like you do for the PGA Tour?
    • He’s also the best anchoring putter there is!😏
    • And  he  has had alot  of  health issues as you expect  from someone still playing at  67
    • Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting.
