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.

Failed Country Club

The two entrances have monument signs that clearly show that the words "Country Club" have been removed from below "Union Hills". Tacky. The signage is poor for first timers to find the pro shop. The club house was locked. The first and 18th fairways have white range balls in them making it difficult to find your ball, if you are using a white one. The fairways, greens, and bunkers were in great condition. The rough was hard, dry and in poor condition.

Fun course and the best burgers!

The course was in fantastic shape. We loved the new GOA units on the golf carts as well. Tammy was on the grill as always and honestly is a big reason we love playing there. If we have a choice between a few courses the conversation is typically “do we want to play this course, that course or get Tammy burgers?” She always wins 😀

Fairways and greens are a 10

Since new ownership, it is changing and in spite of “don’t miss the fairways” scene, very fair and looking good. Keep up the transition work.

Bad looking

My rating of course Cond is a little weird because the fairways and greens were in good shape but anywhere off the fairway was horrible and I mean high grass weeds, blotchy patches, uneven grass, mud dirt just visually bad. And when you pull into the parking lot there’s so many weeds. It looks like the course has been closed for years, horrible looking.

Better than ever!

It might be a typical Sun City layout but the course was in great shape except for some bunkers which needed attention. Great pace of play in ideal conditions too! They have also invested in new carts with GPS.

Pleasant round at Union Hills

My wife and I went back to Union Hills for the first time in quite a while and were pleased to find the course in great shape. Had an enjoyable round even though winds were quite strong at times.

Will likely go back again in near future!

Decent

The course conditions were decent. Played a little slow at just over 4.5 hrs. The back nine presented a little more challenge with water in play on several holes. Would play again if the rate is $50-$70.

Great course

Definitely the “best golf course in Phoenix you’ve never heard of.”

Very well maintained and surprisingly few people playing during the week- even in “prime tee times.”

Unfriendly place

Range was closed due to junior golf tournament. Cashier could not say if range would reopen before our round or if we would tee off on time. His only suggestion was that i should have signed up for the junior tournament (i am over 60)

Luckily we found a tee time only 5 miles away st a different course thanks to the Golf Now app!
