The course was in excellent shape. Greens ran true. Fairways well cared for. It was everything I could ask for in a day of golf.

I was gifted a couple clubs from a family member and decided to put them to use but my knowledge of…read moregolf was limited to Top Golf until I started taking lessons with Jim. Full disclosure - I had swung a golf club maybe 2 times in my life before taking lessons. I am SO glad that I took lessons with Jim. He is very knowledgeable about the sport, but takes time to really understand you and works with you in the best method it takes for you to learn. You constantly see him writing notes and taking videos of your lessons (he also shares the videos with you after - self reflection and analysis is important!) and his feedback always makes me improve and feel better about my golf game. He truly caters the lesson to your needs and your abilities. He took time to really explain everything to me and answer all my (probably silly) questions and never made me feel dumb about not knowing golf terms or rules. He is very active and involved during the lesson which I appreciate so much. Definitely recommend Jim and taking lessons with him!!

Jim is a phenomenal golf coach. I had tried to learn previously with two other coaches and 20+…read morelessons, improving but never feeling like I was comfortably swinging the club. Jim simplifies the approach and spends time on basics while leaving other fixes for later down the road. This removes the stress of trying to fix 10 things at once and gives you one swing thought to think about at a time. Jim also spends time on HOW to practice which is something my previous coaches didn't get into as much. Lessons always feel like you are making useful progress and never like you're just at the range with someone watching. changes things up each time, integrating some chipping practice, putting, etc. as you go so things never feel stale.

Now Phoenician only has 18 holes, lost 9 holes to vacation homes being build around the course. The course is still beautiful and back 9 has some good views with beautiful landscape surrounding the course. As for the course, it is in excellent condition with minor brown patches due to the summer heat. Most holes are target golf so Make sure you know where to aim. It is challenging due to undulating fairways and greens where our group truly enjoy the round. Will definitely return when I find good deals on teeoff.com again. Nice golf carts with TuneIn stations. Cooler with ice to chill your canteens. Chill bottled water provided in most comfort stations Friendly OSP and staffs. Bathroom on course: A+

DK is the man. Started lessons with DK about 11 months ago. When we started he cautioned me that…read moreas we reworked my swing and my game I would be frustrated for a while until it all came together. He was right, frustrated was an understatement... But then the pieces started to fall in place. Distance, control, game strategy, consistency all started to improve. Gradually at first and then significantly now. Typically a high 90s low 100s in the past, I'm now consistently low 90s upper 80s. My handicap has dropped 5 strokes. I've added 20 yards plus to all my irons. Better control and distance off the tee. I'm really enjoying the game. Only criticism would be that the video technology isn't quite what you see on line and no forward projection of shot performance. Time to renew my lesson package, and I'll be sure to sign up with DK and GolfTec again.

I'm very glad I joined because the camaraderie, the support and encouragement you recieve by playing with other Divas is liberating and inspirational. Everyone is at different levels ranging from brand spanking new players, to experienced players of over 20 years! You only pay as you play, so if you're busy for one of the events, you can meet at the next one. I met women from all over and shared many life stories and have made friends I intend on keeping for years to come. The 9 and wine events are a blast, as wine makes everything fun. :) Come in on the fun and join Diva Golf!

Our members are all ages, all sizes and enjoy the non-threatening atmosphere that Diva Golf offers. We don't worry about anyone's handicap, type of equipment or clothing! So many women want to play golf but hesitate due to fear of not knowing what to do or how to act. This group offers a full season of weekly events that we call "Nine & Wine." Each week we play a different course beginning in the later afternoons. All sessions include a short lesson prior to starting play, 9 holes, cart and beverage back in the clubhouse when we're finished. Memberships are sold on a yearly basis and there is no requirement to attend any particular sessions. We want to be a flexible league-pay and play as little or a much as you like. The goal is to have fun, improve your game and meet new people.

They have discounted tee times on Mondays if you're a part of the racket club community. Luckily my brother in law and I got a tee time with group and an amazing time. They don't have a driving range. They have a hitting net. You can hit your own balls there. They have a nice putting green. The course is surrounded by some houses. I wouldn't say they come in play on most of the holes. A couple of holes for sure if you're a long hitter. Layout is gorgeous. I would rate it a medium difficulty level course for 15 handicap like me. Not too many trouble areas for my swing. Fairways and greens were maintained very well. I got my own clubs from DC. They do have rentals as well. I am definitely looking forward to coming back here next year and hopefully play two rounds here.
