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.

Terrible conditions

I have enjoyed playing here in the past. The course layout is great and has a ton of potential. Now, the greens, tee boxes and fairways are all in deplorable condition. I am on a limited golf budget, but even at $45, cart included, it was not worth the money. I won't be playing at this course again until I see much better reviews here

Union Hills

This used to be my favorite course to play in the west valley. I don't know if it's the heat or lack of rain or both but the course is not in very good shape right now. I know it's under new ownership so maybe it will be in better condition soon.

Rough fairways

Course conditions need improvements. Some greens have burned out spots and fairways are uneven. I worry this location will be closed by next summer. Make sure you grab extra water because there is only one fountain on the course.

Great course

For the money you can't beat it, $20 a round on a great challenging golf course, greens a little fuzzy but in great shape after aeration, tee boxes a little rough but ok.

course layout

This course is really close to my house, I love playing here because of the open fairways and the course layout. The greens were recently aerated, so the ball wasn’t rolling as good as usual. Which is understandable. Peace of play was good, i’ll always keep going back to this course, it’s a really good course for the money and it helps me get better.

Bumpy, Hairy, Aerated greens.

Greens are hairy and bumpy as they are growing them out after aerating them though that is typical this time of year. Regardless, the greens were inconsistent so expect some short putts. Fairways are also looking a little rough though we had a bad summer.

Spotty Fairways

Sun City in the summer. Fairways and greens just staying alive to survive the heat. Waiting for fall overseed to lay in the winter rye for the snowbirds. My ball often found spotty areas in the fairways where not much resembled grass of the usual variety. Oh well, what did you expect Jackson. You need to add another $40-60 to the fees and travel east to get real fairways and greens.

Hope it improves

I like the course layout and I had a coupon on a hot deal with GN so couldn't beat the $9!

They are very friendly and I'm hopeful it will be as good as Palmbrook but they have a long way to go. Overseeding so you get what you get with the greens. I will wait a while before coming back here.
