The golf course at the Union Hills Country Club is a championship course with a traditional layout. The course has been named one of the Top Ten Private Courses in Arizona. The design features four lakes and two winding creeks that create water hazards that come into play on a few holes. There are also several sand bunkers present. Some of the golf course's greens are elevated and the fairways are average sized in width. The signature hole is the par-4 14th hole, which requires a carry over water. Union Hills Country Club also has a putting green and full driving range for golfers to use.

UHCC Course Needs Some TLC

Rated the course conditions as fair due to the condition of the fairways. They were pretty barren; lots of burned out spots with no grass. Tee boxes were also in poor shape.

They had aerated the greens about a week prior and did get the aeration alert in the GolfNow app. Greens were a bit bumpy but not bad for just being aerated.

The dude in the cart barn needs to lighten up a bit -- a tad bit rude.

Nice course, no much grass in the fairways.

The layout is nice the course would be great if the greens were not sanded and the fairways had more grass than dirt showing. Don't plan to eat there no snack shop or bar/ restaurant open. Proshop had limited beer supply. I liked the course just wish it was in better shape. Played in 3 hours no body in front of us.

Played this course in April & it was in nice condition, now it resembles a cow pasture. Tee boxes & fairways are somewhat playable but they do have areas that are just dirt but the greens are the worst part of the course. Cannot get a true roll. Might as well take a two putt & pick up. I won’t support this course anymore

Just wow!

From the time we arrived and were greeted, you could tell this place was a step above! The gentleman unloaded our golf bags and put them on the cart, the gentleman inside the golf shop was just as friendly and welcoming! I’m still fairly new to golf courses here so it’s always a little bit nerve racking on course rules and etiquette for each course, so I was very thankful everyone was so kind. As far as the course, I loved it! There was a good balance of difficult plays as well as some easier holes along the course. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the carts shutting off when you would hit “restricted areas” I know the general “Stay away from tee boxes and greens” but this one would shut down in some pretty strange and random spots. All in all I give this place a 9/10! I will definitely be back to play again and bring more friends! Thank you!!

Fun day

The course was in pretty good condition overall. It is the time, for overseeding, etc.There was a lot of course mowing, seeding and general maintenance the morning we played. Play was quick, and the staff were all, very, friendly. A pleasant experience.

The course has really gone downhill since early March. The fairways were very thin and have large dry areas. Some greens were good while others were dry and patchy.

Prices too high for terrible conditions

The conditions were very bad, unfortunately. Mud in the fairways and dirt on the greens. Hopefully they’re doing course maintenance and this isn’t how it’s normally kept. Will not be playing here again

The overall course condition was good, there were a lot of under repair areas off the fairways. The greens were a little slow, but all in all nice course and looks like it’s getting better.

Hot weather
Used cart

Rough around the edges, but nice layout and greens.

Greens are always decent but some fairways are sparse which is as much the hot weather here as it is anything else. I think they do try to make it playable from the middle but if you are off a bit the lies are maybe worse than you would expect. Play here two or three times a year and always enjoy it.
