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.

Don't go out of your way for this course.

Union Hills was a very vanilla golf course with marginal conditions. We tried it once but wouldn't return.

Indeed the best Phoenix course you’ve never heard about.

Had a fantastic outing on this course. Not crowded. In fact, there were twosomes in front and behind us Beautiful fairways, greens and foliage. We were anxious about playing a course in amongst houses but the layout was so well done we hardly even noticed. Having parallel holes in opposite direction eliminated any feeling of being squeezed by the homes along the course. Beautiful layout.

Average course, and..

Average course, and the parking lot has clearly been abandoned - evidently its direct maintenance funds are not available or not being spent. Specifically the earth around it has not been kept up or tended to. Dried out, and a very third-world feel and look to it. The parking lot surface area was not the best either.

As to the course itself, since non-fairway areas were very dried out, it was penal if one was not in the fairways or close to the greens. The greens, while having great contour, were not in the best of shape either. Pace of play was great, and playing companions were solid. As well, all the staff and the outdoor concession stand at the turn were both excellent.

Pace was a bit slow but the course was in good shape.

First time playing since new ownership. Amenities have been upgraded but beverage and food prices have risen substantially. Green fees were less expensive than other courses for this time of year. Course was in good condition.

Pace was slower than usual. Groups ahead had no sense of urgency or desire to pick up the pace. Finally let us play through then ran into same issue again. Most slow play groups were out of town visitors here for spring training.

Friendly staff

Friendly staff corse is old and outdated has tons of potential. Needs some love. Fairways were in great shape but you miss the fairway by a foot your hitting off dirt, weeds, and rocks no grass at all in. Fairways bunkers were full of overgrown weeds and deemed unplayable. It’s not worth 80-100+ a round ton of other places to play in the Phoenix area with better conditions for that amount

The course was in great shape, especially considering the rain and new area in recent days. I had hoped for a more Prisk course with mountains in the backdrop, however, this course whines through a housing track, and there was no mountains in view. But don’t let that stop you. It was plenty of challenges and great fair ways to deal with.

Good course for the money

Well organized and fairways were in great shape. Off the fairways was mostly brown but many other courses were as well. Overall really enjoyed the course and I think it was a good value for the money
