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.

Coming Back

This course was formerly a country club and had past its prime. New ownership is taking steps to upgrade the course, but there have been no big changes yet. Workmen had dug up overgrowth around one of the ponds near the 5th hole and they had a pretty good overseed. Fairways were all full and lush. Greens were also in good shape. The rough areas are still a bit sketchy with matted, patchy Bermuda. So it will be a while yet, but there have been some baby steps.

Not worth of the cost

Each hole was a duplicate of the prior. Each hole was a straight drive with little diversity.

A Typical

Residential course...residential layout. A filler course for sure. If asked... I would play there again but not on my own decision.

Nothing special for the price

Course was pleasant but overly priced. Each hole was about the exact same as the hole before.

Liked the course layout

My wife and I are leisure players. We enjoy courses that are not quirky and a little challenging. We also enjoy it more when courses are in good condition. This course was fun. My wife also like it when it's affordable.

Price Gauge

This course is absolutely smoking crack to think they can charge over $60 for a tee time, and then proceed to charge another 7% water fee, while there’s dead patches everywhere and absolutely no care in the world for pace of play. Place went down the gutter.

Tough conditions

Staff is great, course layout enjoyable as it forces shot shaping with several left-to-right or right-to-left looks off tees as well as second shots. Fairways are pretty good but there is no rough, or grass, just packed dirt. Several fairway bunkers were becoming overgrown with large weeds. Just a little TLC could really help this gem of a course.

Need rangers on weekends

Three groups waiting at each tee box is inexcusable. Need a ranger to push the pace. This is a 5 hour round consistently on weekends.
