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.

Hot but fun

Went out at 7:30 and the temps weren’t too bad. The pace of play was good. All foursomes were out so we’re within a shot or two of the group in front and behind us the whole time. The course was in good shape for the recent heat we have had with no rain. Solid summer golf with decent coverage in the fairways and tees and greens were good. Pro shop staff was really friendly. I will be back again before the summer is out.

Not too bad

Greens are Pure, Fairways are in decent shape, I would hit a ball middle fairway and be in some bad grass sometimes. Tee Boxes were awful, the worst part abt the course. Not too bad tho, for the price i’d play again !

Nickel and dime you

Well, they used to offer free range balls and now they charge. It was supposed to be 115, so I asked for a cooler for the cart, which used to always be on there, but the guy said they only give them out if you buy something from them. When it’s 115, you need way more than a Gatorade. Since I brought my own water bottles and poweraids, no alcohol, he wouldn’t let me use a cooler. The pace of play was pretty good for nine holes. Then got behind a foursome that was playing a two two man scramble. It took forever. They wouldn’t let us play through and would look back at us sitting and waiting already before they left the tee box. Only good thing was the range is real grass so you don’t have to hit off of mats like most places now. Wouldn’t bother for a $40 summer round.

Fun course for the money

If you can snag one of the “hot deal” times it’s ready a good bang for your buck golf course. The outdoor grille at the turn is also very nice almost makes up for there being no cart girl.

Good course, good value

This course is always a fun one to play. I live nearby and play it quite a bit and even through the hot summer so far, the course is in pretty good shape sans a few spots on some greens and the price is reasonable as well. Keeps me coming back.

Nice course will definitely be back

K the course, fairways in decent shape and greens were fun and in good shape for this time of year. I arrived early for my teatime, they were kind enough to let me T off early as a single. Back nine was fun with water in play on a few holes. Looking forward to how the new owners improve clubhouse. If you like Palmbrook you like this course. Great value.

Nice course for the price

For this time of year this course is in better shape than most and has a very good layout for your average golfer and is a bargain at the prices they charge. Bring your own drinks n snacks, no cart person limited snack bar at the golf shop. Ice machine with filtered water.

Still in good shape

Played early round this morning. Got out in front of several foursomes. Completed 18 in just over 3 hours. Some rough spots - to be expected when its 110+. Overall, course is in very playable condition. Greens have some spotty patches, but its July in AZ. Good value for your money in my opinion. No beverage cart running during the summer. Bring a cooler with some ice and waters!
