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.

Another fun, enjoyable Sun City Course

Wide fairways, no rough, large and smooth winter greens that role true. What's not to like? Some areas off the fairway were in rough shape, dirt, some mud. Not the best bunkers but certainly playable. Pace of play was fine. We were the 2nd group following a women's event but finished in about 4hrs. Had a great time, made a couple birdies. With the lack of rough the course is probably over-sloped a bit at 116. I'd say it's closer to 110 this time of year. When the bermuda comes back that probably changes things.

Ok for Neighborhood Coursea

Pretty good layout for a flat ground, between the houses, course. Green and fairways in OK condition. We waited on most holes. The were several wedding stag romps playing ahead that might have been a bit slow.

Union hills

Front nine played real well but the back nine really slowed. Person behind the counter seemed like he didnt really want to be there. When we turned the cart in the person there was exceptional. Very friendly and helpful.

if the price is right - decent track

Not worth any more than $50-$60. But at that or less it’s a fine track. Tee boxes were decent and green were actually pretty nice. Fairways a bit thin but had a relatively interesting track - most of these community course are almost identical but this had a couple holes that had you guessing.

Course keeps getting better

The course is under new ownership, and it shows. Price was lower than most public courses in the area, but quality was comparable. The new golf carts make a huge difference. Dead trees are gone, and fairways and greens look better than ever. Rough still needs some work to remove weeds and fill in bare spots. I will play again, especially if it continues to improve like this.

Best greens I've seen this year

The greens were in great shape even though tough slopes and tricky pin positions, they rolled very true. I do wish players would fix their ball marks, it's a problem here in Arizona, I do not understand it but there it is. The course is a bit long for an old dude like me but I'm ok with bogey golf. It is a fun track. The only negative is that the tee boxes are pretty torn up.

Great course, rude staff

I played this course once before and went back because I enjoyed it the first time. The pro-shop staff is great but from what I've read is the maintenance person is anything but friendly. There was another group near me that was beyond the cart path signs, yet he berates me. He reeks of cigarettes' and is power hungry. If you run into him pretend you do not speak English or be rich enough to buy the golf course and fire him.

Staff are extremely rude!

They have a maintenance guy named Allen that's very weird. He will follow you around the course trying to act like he owns the golf course. We parked in dead grass on the right side of the course and he yelled at us. Then we parked on the far left side of the green in dead grass and he yelled at us. Then we slid a very small amount in dead grass because it was wet grass due to it being early in the morning and he shoved us out of our cart and took our keys from the golf cart. And told us we are done. I left a Google review and they responded saying I damaged there golf course and they hope we never come back and they hope we never play golf again. I would highly recommend staying away from this course. There are a few really nice courses near this area that I would highly recommend over this one. And typically have cheaper rates.
