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.

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.

COurse needs water if you are going to charge almost 90.00 this late in the season

We play there a lot. They usually add a water fee for some reason. The course is dry, lots of patchy fairway lies. Rough is hardpan for the most part. The #1 green was 40% bare dirt. In that dirt they put the flag...really? We were very disappointed. Will stick with other courses in better shape and far less greens fees.

Greens for the Pro!

The round went well … I played in the late afternoon and I flew .. I was by myself and was able to play almost 18 in a very reasonable amount of time .. the Greens were extremely difficult .. it seems like every hole was cut on a hill … and with the combination of that and the greens being very hard .. it led to a lot of three putts …I was putting for birdie on the first five holes .. I came away with three bogeys and two pars …bummer ..

First Time Playing

Union Hills CC

This course is not bad, pretty wide open, not a lot of trouble off the fairway, the greens have good undulation to make up for it. The pace of play was a little slow compared to other courses I regularly play, but it was tolerable.

It was my first time on this course, I would play it again.
