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.

Greens were rough in spots and sand traps needed sand. Fairways and tee boxes were pretty good.

3/3/2023 Round

Like the layout. Some large greens which were smooth. Fairways are fine. Golf cars are gas and some have seen a few rounds but work okay. Staff very friendly. Gives a good challenge.

fairways were decent at best greens below average everywhere else weeds all over the golf course all around tee boxes weeds off the fairway. Hard pan was an understatement. Looks like nobody maintains that golf course. It’s a shame too because it’s an awesome layout. I wish someone would buy it and maintain it properly. Looks like a goat ranch.

High weeds were everywhere off the fairways. Hard pan is an understatement very ugly looking golf course great layout golf carts are the worst in the valley filthy old. It could be such a really really good golf course. Hopefully somebody buys it and spend some money on it horrible looking golf course condition.

Course is decent. Not worth $70+, there was a lot of dry/dead spots on edge of fairways and greens. I will play it again in a month or so and see how if the weather improves the condition of the course.

Tad bit overpriced

For $90+ and in February we were hoping the course would be in better shape. Greens were ok, fairways marginal but rough was pretty bad, lots of just dirt/mud. 4hour and 45 min round did not make course conditions any more tolerable. Staff was very friendly

Union Hills is close & convenient

The golf course is interesting to play and is in fair shape. Some greens were a little rough. Clubhouse and grounds need some attention. Staff was friendly and helpful.

2/24/23 Round

First time at Union Hills. My review is relative to thee courses in area.

Staff - friendly

Tees -very good, not beat up

Fairways - excellent

Greens - very good, some where bumpy (see photo) but consistent and not affecting putts too much

Traps - didn’t get in but my partners said some of best in the area

Cart Paths - excellent

Carts - very good, gas but windshields you can see thru

Other -pencils with erasers!

Will play here again soon. My order of quality of courses played this trip so far - Palmbrook, Union Hills, Hillcrest, Coldwater, Great Eagle. First three are very close to being at top.

For the cost to play this course, they should at least have a snack/drink cart

Was happy to find a course in the Prime golf season in Scottsdale area for under $100.00 a round. Very happy with the staff, the course and the amenities. Worth the drive. Already booked another tee time.
