The two excellent courses at Wildfire are as distinct as their designers -- Arnold Palmer and Nick Faldo. The Palmer course is the original design at Wildfire and has been described as an exceedingly playable course; challenging, yet fair. Using the natural attributes of the site, Palmer called on all his experience to create a truly exceptional course. Faldo's design is reminiscent of the great sand belt courses of Australia with 106 bunkers, generous fairways, and large bent grass greens. Located in Northeast Phoenix, Wildfire is easily accessible from most area hotels.

The Faldo Championship Course, which plays up to 6,846 yards, sits on a 174-acre site and offers a slight variation from the typical desert-theme courses. It features generous fairways, large greens and multiple tee boxes. The surrounding mountains and century-old saguaro cacti as well as 108 sand bunkers, reminiscent of the Australian sand belt courses, provide a spectacular setting for the golf course and golfing guests.
