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.

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.

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.
