A desert-style course of championship length (7,170 yards), with generous fairways and large (average size 7,000 square feet), bent-grass greens, the Palmer Course features from four to six tee boxes on every hole, challenging all levels of golfing skill. The 415-yard par 4 6th is Palmer's signature hole, with the beautiful Camelback Mountain as the backdrop.

Nick Faldo, winner of three Masters and three British opens, says that this course is not reminiscent of other Arizona layouts, saying that he wants his courses to have rhythm and flow, with more bark than bite. He has certainly done a fine job on the newest 18-hole course, the Faldo Course, located directly adjacent to the Palmer Course. The par 71 layout sits on a 174-acre site, and offers a slight variation from typical Sonoran Desert-theme courses. It features generous fairways, large bent grass greens and tee boxes. The surrounding mountains and century-old saguaro cacti as well as 106 sand bunkers, reminiscent of the Australian sand belt courses, provide a spectacular setting for the golf course and golfing guests.

Wildfire Golf Club also offers state-of-the-art practice facilities for our playing guests, including an all-grass driving range, putting and chipping greens, and a fairway bunker. In addition, there is indoor and outdoor seating with complete food and beverage service, as well as a Golf Shop with a distinctive array of men's and women's golfing equipment and apparel.

Both courses surround the spectacular JW Marriotts Desert Ridge Resort and Spa, to be completed in November 2002, giving guests a wide variety of activities to choose from after an invigorating day on the course.
