Union Hills Golf & Country Club
About
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.

It takes 5 hours to play here so plan accordingly.
The course needs to fix the greens. Severe slopes and terrible pin placements make for a very slow and painful day. The grass on the greens is cut too close and then it is rolled smooth. It is like putting downhill on a linoleum floor. There is nothing to stop the ball. It just rolls off with the barest of touches. Let the greens grow out a little so the ball has something to hang on to. The slopes on the greens are just ridiculous. I'm sure they think that the greens is what makes the course more challenging. Sure, if I want to play goofy golf. The pace of play was awful. 5 hours to play is way too long. Having to wait 15 to 20 minutes per hole is not reasonable. This is what you get with poor greens and amateur players.
Severe slope in greens
Course was nice but whoever designed these greens should never do it again. We had single handicap players and had three and four putts if you were above or had a side hill putt. Even putted off the green. Course was in decent conditions but the green contours and pin placements were not fun.
Happy New Year
Good course and a fair price for winter golf. We’ll be back very soon. Keep up the good work.

Nice course ruined by restrictive GPS
We’ve played this course many, many times. I admit that since the new ownership took over, the course has improved a lot. However, they now have golf carts with GPS and when you enter a “prohibited” area, the GPS locks the golf cart and you have to go in reverse, at snail’s pace, to an open area. The problem is that the prohibited areas are NOT marked!! There were only 2 holes where there was a marker in front of the green and in both times, the golf cart got locked BEFORE we even reached the sign!!! You used to be able to drive on par 3’s. No longer, but on 2 of them, they don’t warn you. So the cart locks up. My friend got so angry that we’re probably not coming back here, even though we really like the course.
Hurry up, I like this course!
Pace of play was a real issue. Teed off about 15-minutes late and waited before we could hit every shot on the frontside. Three hours to play nine holes. The back nine was faster, 2:15 because several groups dropped out at the turn. The course is a solid track, fairways and greens are in good shape and very playable. Rough is beat up so stay in the fairway.
Slow play
The front nine was really slow. Backed up at every hole. Hard to get any rhythm going. The back nine opened up fine.
Will not return!
Very slow play 5hrs (no Marshall)
Some fairways were spotty
Greens really fast (+)
Will diffidently go back and play sister course PalmBrook Golf Course, A much better course!!
GREAT conditions
I live 5 minutes away from the coarse and neve played it. I was pleasantly surprised! I golf almost every week and was happy of the coarse layout, and conditions. I will be back!!
Thank you

Great Faiways
Fairways were perfect but if you went into the rough it was a bit dry and dirt. Overall a great value for the money.
Good experience
Nice track to play and it was in good shape. The greens rolled quite fast although very heavily ball marked on some holes. I spent as much time as possible fixing ball damage from previous golfers.
The hot dog at the turn was one of the best I’ve had golfing in Arizona.
for the price this course has good value.
Recent Round
Course was fairly good condition, fairways good, greens fast, with some rough spots on the greens. Good layout, reasonable length from White tees. Just over 4 hour round.
PO'd about cancellation fee
I have been playing Union Hills for over 10 years. My go to course for many years. It's in great shape. My gripe? I have never been charged for a cancellation in all of the years I have played this course. And I have had people cancel from our group before. We had 2 members of our group cancel at the last minute for our round yesterday. To my dismay, I have been charged on my card for these 2. Over $160.00. We let the pro shop know about the cancellations in our group when we checked in. There was no mention or warning about this cancellation fee. Of course now, I can see the cancellation policy online. I have no idea how long this has been in place especially seeing as I have never had this charge happen in the past. Pretty low blow by Union Hills. Merry Christmas (sarcasm).
The Best and Not Best
The course is usually in decent condition and this week the course was better than usual. Play was very slow and I couldn’t really get any momentum. When play is slow, it helps to have some good company and intermediate or better players in your foursome. Adios and Happy New Year 🎊
