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.

Union Hills

Played early morning as a single. Pace was fast. Course was what I expected, some brown spots as we move into hot Phoenix summer months. Would play here again if the price was right.

Better Value To Be Had In the West Valley

Was honestly disappointed with our round at Union Hills.

The course was I'm ok shape but didn't feel like it was a great value compared to other courses in the area.

Older club house, no real restaurant, golf shop attendant seemed like we're were imposing on him as first time guests.

Definitely a better experience to be had elsewhere.

Good bang for your buck...

Missed my tee time dealing with work but the pro shop Mgr Mitch I wanna say called me & said I could come whenever I can if I can mak it th same day. Awesome customer service! Course was relatively empty for a perfect Friday weather day, low 90s & minimal wind - however wind is quite sneaky on this course & will knock down a shot or 3 if it gusts right. Course is dried out/dirt in some spots - to be expected in Arizona but greens were in very solid shape, ran true & relatively fast. A couple of the sand traps definitely need to be replaced, sand was virtually unplayable on a few holes & in certain spots in rough/fairway I moved my ball back or left/right to get out of just dirt patches or where they were trying to get more grass to grow again I assume. Not a long course at all, 6500yds from the tips so it's a getable course definitely if you put it in the fairway or right position off the tee. Full summer mode so no on course amenities or cart girl - everything at the pro shop. Definitely would play again for under $40, played the course in under 4hours - 1st time out in 2yrs I was nursing a herniated back last year & couldn't play. Shot 84 out here shaking off the rust.

Union hills is a great value

Clothe course was clean and fairways were very well kept. The greens were smooth and free from damage and generally well maintained. The layout helps the golfer that needs a little more room and the staff was great including the maintenance and grounds crew.

Mr. Ross

It has been a few years since I played This traditional country club golf course.. It seems to me their a bit low on staff and it's probably hard to keep an Arizona GC green. A bit pricey for this golf course but all in all, still a good day and location to play a round of golf on a late May Saturday morning.
