| - If you are on the fence about whether to play this course versus another, let me help you make the choice. There isn't another course in the marketplace that does as many things as perfectly. It's not inexpensive, but I can't think of a better example of getting what you pay for. From the initial reservation, to the time they place your bag in your car, you will be exceedingly impressed. Every single employee we encountered was helpful, and smiling (and a sincere smile, not a forced smile typical of someone who had been TOLD that it was part of their job). When you arrive, and when you pull in to the bag drop, they greet you and smile and direct you to the club house. When you enter the club house they greet you with a smile and make eye contact and thank you for being there. They direct you to the driving range where your clubs are on a cart with your name on it (just like when you play a tournament...and we weren't). The range is perfectly manicured, it's got a chipping green, putting greens, a well marked range, etc. When it's time for your tee time, they don't call your name on a loud speaker, a smiling employee comes over to you at the range and lets you know that it's time to tee off, and doesn't leave it at that...they then jump on a cart and have you follow them to the first tee. On the way they stop at the halfway house to see if you need any food or drink for the round ahead.
That's all BEFORE you even tee off. And when you step up to the first tee box, you will quickly see that this is going to be epic! The course is perfect from tee to green. It's challenging, but not impossible. I had to keep touching myself to see if this was real. You will play better because you're relaxed (and because the fairways and even the rough are in amazing condition).
When you're on the 18th green, some guy sneaks over and cleans your clubs. When you're done, someone says thank you.
I'm not paid to write this review (in fact, you'll see I've only written 5 or 6 over the years), but I write them when something is this good or exceptionally disappointing...it's this good. The Phoenician and a handful of other courses are really pretty and have great views, and some have very good service...this is all of those things and done perfectly.
So, all that positivity and my only real criticism is that their website is clearly not where they invested their marketing dollars. It does it no justice and makes you wonder if this place is really that big a deal. Don't let it fool you...
