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.

Better than it used to be the last few years, but still lots of weeds off the fairway and the facility looks rundown, but I could see the new owners are making progress, and I know it takes time, and the new carts are great

Slow Play

Pace a play was slow due to cart path only front the rain. Also tee boxes and greens were very long. Bunkers hard as a rock. Staff were great as usual.

Good course

Overseeding completed and fairways in good shape. Greens also good but cosmetically looking rough. New electric carts. Pace of play was good and marshalls were out monitoring.

Busier than last time

This was our second time golfing here. Although it was much busier, we still played our round in under four hours. Enjoyed the course again!

Fall Golf 23

The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. The greens were also in good shape but were very slow. Just after overseed so that is most likely why.

Better than expected!

We hadn’t golfed there before. We really enjoyed the course layout with mature trees and well kept fairways! Although amenities around building weren’t available, you could see it was once beautiful. We will be back!

thank you for noticing!

new ownership is working hard to make the most critical things better. we started with the grass, the trees, the carts, and the indoor/outdoor bathroom. an eating area and new parking lot will be next. can't wait to have you back!

Good value for the money

Decent course and priced right. Bunkers were pretty rough but overall the course was in good shape. Fairways and greens still a little hairy but will be good once they mow.

New Ownership, Poor Communication

This used to be a go to course for me however new ownership has some things to learn.

Upon arrival we learned it was Cart Path Only. Typically I will walk when this happens as it keeps the pace moving. Left my pull cart at home so that wasn’t an option. Also discovered the course was charging anyone who booked online the same rate to walk or ride.

Two issues already. Bad communication by not announcing it was path only and not giving a discount to walkers.

Next problem…Cart path only usually happens during overseeding which clearly wasn’t the case. This generally means you can drive on the rough so long as you aren’t traveling on the fairways. Not this time. The ranger had a fit when we had to leave the path to navigate around the beverage cart or drove through the rough. He claimed pre-emergent had been sprayed and we would kill the rough by driving in it.

It wasn’t a friendly conversation either.

Again, if that is really the case it should be communicated as such in advance. Would have been nice to know pre-emergent pesticides had been applied recently and would have clarified the path only rule.

Last issue…the rough hadn’t been cut in what seemed like months. Very thick which made it difficult to locate a ball inches off the fairway.

Hopefully the course will get back on track and the new owners will realize it isn’t Troon or TPC. Still a City/Muni Course that now has an Augusta mentality.
