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.

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

Overbook much?

Had a 3pm tee time and didn’t expect to finish 18 only to find out they were at least a half hour behind. To their credit they did offer us a refund but disappointed they had booked so heavily.

Rained Out

Our group of 4 attempted to golf in the rain until it stared to pour when we were on hole 7. Went back to the clubhouse and had lunch as we waited for it to let up. When it didn’t we thought we could get a rain check for 9 at least. Very disappointed that was not an option. You either go back out in the rain or lose out the expensive rates we paid. We left but will not be going back to this course in the future.

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.
