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.

Website said cart path only thru Nov.10th. We played on the Nov 11th and were greeted by extremely slow play. Tee times were way too close together for cart path only. It took us an hour to play the first 3 holes. Waited 15 minutes between our 2nd and 3rd shot on hole #3. It took us 5 hours and 15 minutes to play 18 holes. Would've been much longer. Our playing partner gave up after 7 holes. We caught a break when the foursome in front of us quit after 9 holes. Never saw a ranger the entire day. Highlight of the round was we saw the cart girl 3 times on each 9 holes. That was a 1st.

Friday tee time

Pace of play was really poor. Group in front of our group had individual with some mobility limitations and should have been allowed to drive to his ball. It was taking him a long time to walk to his ball which delayed the pace.

Cart path only was a surprise

Greens were really slow. I look forward to playing next week when greens are cut and 90 degree rule is in place. Hopefully the rough will be cut.

Great shape for early in year

Really enjoyed the course - best shape I have seen in a while. Was cart path only but I walked so it was faster than riding. Greens are a bit slow and hard to read because they’re fuzzy but give it a little while. Bunkers are pretty hard but wasn’t in them very often so that may end up turning some people off.

Pace of play was excellent 3.5 hrs at 8 am is decent

Decent round

The course was in decent shape. Greens were a bit odd as they did not putt smoothly at all. The ball bounced it's way towards the hole. There always seems to be a back up on the 3rd hole and later around the 5th. The back 9 has more random slowdown points. It usually takes 4.5 to 5 hours (or more) to play this course because of the backups. For some reason they are almost always short of carts. I wonder if this is because they have too many waiting on slow players.

Rough too rough

The rough was way too high all over the course. I lost 3 golf balls not because I hit out of bounds but because I couldn't find my ball in the rough

This course isnt apart of the PGA tournament cycle. So the rough shouldn't be this bad. Trim it down!

Overbooked and slow

The morning started with overbooked tee times, which caused tee start times 10-15 minutes late. The shape of the course is about as worse as I have ever seen it. You literally could not differentiate between the rough and most fairways. The grass, where growing was long, clumpy, patchy and in disarray. The pace of play was insanely slow, this round took over 5 hours. We did not notice the rangers doing anything about getting the pace up. We will not be back until they get the course in better shape.
