Golf Digest rating

tough but challenging...

Wildfire Golf Club is also home to the par-72 Palmer Course. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the course is situated in the rugged Sonoran desert. The course features generous fairways and large, undulating bent grass greens. The vast 151-acre layout meanders through picturesque arroyos with centuries-old saguaro cactus. Five different tee markers allow guests to test their game and improve their range.

Winding through the rugged Sonoran desert with stunning views of three different mountain ranges, The Palmer Signature Course at Wildfire Golf Club is the perfect setting for golfers of all skill levels.  The 415-yard, par 4 6th hole is Palmer's signature hole, with the beautiful Camelback Mountain as the backdrop.

The Palmer Signature Course plays up to 7,145 yards, providing a very scenic desert 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".
