Wildfire Golf Club's Palmer Course at JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort in north Phoenix was designed by Arnold Palmer and opened in 1997 as the companion layout to the Faldo Course. The Palmer Course reflects the King's design philosophy — generous landing areas, risk-reward hole designs, and a course that invites aggressive play while still demanding smart decisions. The layout routes through classic north Phoenix Sonoran Desert with saguaro cactus forests, desert washes, and the dramatic McDowell and Camelback Mountain views that define this upscale corridor near the Loop 101. Wide fairways and slightly more forgiving rough than the Faldo Course make the Palmer the more welcoming of the two Wildfire designs — a better choice for mixed ability groups or golfers wanting an enjoyable resort round over a precision test. The JW Marriott's five-star infrastructure surrounds both courses.
Arnold Palmer designed the Palmer Course at Wildfire, which opened in 1997 alongside Nick Faldo's companion layout as part of the JW Marriott Desert Ridge development. Palmer's design reflected his 'fun' approach to course design — he wanted golfers to feel they could attack the course while still facing genuine strategic decisions. The two courses together have made Wildfire one of the Phoenix metro's most complete resort golf destinations for over two decades.
