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.

No aeration alert

The club representative told that I would have to play the back nine twice due to aeration on the front nine. I told him that I didn't see that online. He said yup it's there cuz I posted it on Thursday last week. He lied. It's not there. I wouldn't hve booked Union hills had it been posted

Great for Summer

For it being summer, the course was in really good condition. A couple dry spots, but that’s expected. And they allow riders, which is apparently not allowed at most courses around here.

What happened?

Played this course many times, it was really slow, ranger didn’t seem to make the group ahead of us pick up the pace, 5 hr round at 100+ degrees is ridiculous, course was in a lot better condition a month ago

Sorry you experienced a long round. We would like everyone to complete in 4:30 max. Unfortunately, this is one of the things we are challenged with on Saturdays. Inexperienced players and a full field. No excuses, but we really do try and keep up on pace through the GPS system and on course Rangers. We know it only takes one group in front to slow down the whole field behind them, which is challenging for everyone else. Thanks again for playing and enduring the 100+ temps. We will continue to try and improve the pace every day.

The course was in good condition despite extreme summer heat. The bunkers were not that great which is typical for most courses. Good value overall. The staff are friendly and helpful. Make sure you get ice and water at the clubhouse before starting. The was no water out on the course.

Glad you were able to come out and play. Just to let you know we are currently taking out some fairway bunkers on the course, so they are not maintained and marked for a free drop. We recently installed chilled water fountains at the halfway points (restrooms) on each side front 9 and back. Thanks again for coming out and playing, also enduring the 100+ weather.

Course in good shape

Played 18 yesterday morning at 8 am. Finished the round in less than 3 hours. Course is in good shape for this time in June. Greens were holding, fairways a little spotty but to be expected. Definitely recommend playing this course.

Getting better

Course conditions are improving at UHCC. The fairways are nice and the greens are rolling true. Still don't have water fountains, so make sure you have some before teeing it up.

Other than the pace....

Everything was great other than the pace of play. Over 5 hours...I think because the tee times are 7 minutes apart and they let way too many twosomes out

High price for condition

I have played this course a couple times now. For the price of $75 this course is not worth the money due to its poor condition. Greens had aeration holes, bunkers were full of rocks and mud. Fairways were in good condition. Would not pay more than $50 to play again.

First Time Playing

Could use some TLC but a fun course

Greens: great shape and very consistent .

Fairways: narrow landing area but very good shap.

Rough: lots of area burnt out but the are mowed and trimmed, creek areas are trimmed as well.

Bunkers: lots labeled ground under repair. Bunkers around the greens were in good shape. Some of them need new sand, too many rocks.

Staff: informative but not very friendly and welcoming.

Upon arrival the buildings looked run down. Much to our surprise the course was very playable. It was a good day.

Dated

We have Golfed this course a lot over the past 5 years. They haven’t updated the Facilities, especially the 19th watering hole. The course is ok but the fairway bunkers haven’t been touched.

It is way too expensive for what you get.

We will golf it again, once the prices come down.

I hope the new owners spend some money and update everything
