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.

Not bad for the price.

Not a bad back up to the back up when it comes to golf courses in the area. Decent layout. Gnarly, unsupervised rough. Tee boxes have sparse grass and are situated on crowns. Greens were slow, but rolled ok. Very little if any sand in the bunkers. Fairways were good shape. All and all it is what it is. No frills. Can whack it and find it.

Course conditions and facilities

Good price and ok layout, but the tee off boxes aren’t level and sparse grass. In addition the rough’s could be better maintained. Fairways and greens(although slow) are fine. The worst thing about the course are the facilities. Have out door station with grill( good brats, but wanted a hamburger and they had no meat) the facility as a whole is vacant (except pro shop) Looks run down with no one in the bar and restaurant area. Very sad!

The course is fun, forgiving but huge undulating greens. Don’t be above the hole!

Great Course

Great course layout. Fairways were nice as well as the greens. Not too many hazards that were very difficult to work around or out of. Staff was friendly and pace of play was great.

2nd favorite course as of now

I’ve been to a few courses know, and this course is amazing. I thought that the staff was very friendly. I love how they put your name on the golf cart before you even check in. The course was absolutely stunning. Mainly par fours and fives which is great. We got paired up with an amazing third by the name of Paul shout out Paul! Had a wonderful experience

Disappointed

Been years since I played the course. Fareways, tees, and greens were scalped and very fast. Had difficulty placing tee in hard tee box. Greens were rough but putted true. All greens were sloped same, back to front.

Not last years course.

Maybe it’s due to overseeing but the greens at Union Hills are always fast and firm, not the case on October 6.

There were also some dirt areas on the greens too.

Fairways were definitely in transition to dormancy so they get a bye on that.

Still a good day on the golf course.

Great course for the money

It’s was overall a good course, the greens could be a little nicer but overall we had fun good course to play and the pace was good, the practice greens would be better if they had cups to hit into not flags to hit at

Average at best

This course is pretty neglected. They have essentially let the parking lot go entirely, which does not provide a very welcoming start. The course itself is in okay condition but definitely leaves a lot to be desired. There are much better places to play for the price.

Established Sun City Course

I have reviewed this course before. The course layout is suitable enough, but it has slid a bit into disrepair. Drinking fountains were missing and restrooms were a bit disheveled, showing their age. The fairways were grown out, but suffering invasion of other grasses and weeds other than strict Bermuda. The greens were the best part of the course, but even they had burn patches and were running slow. I suspect the cause of the latter was the approaching overseed season. I keep returning to the course so there is value to the rounds I play here.

This place has really dropped off

Condition atrocious compared to when I played earlier in the Summer. On the front side there are MANY bunkers with grass and weeds! There were lots of burned out areas on greens which ,also, were way too slow. Lots of crabgrass everywhere including many tee boxes.

Very disappointed given that it was in much better shape a couple of months ago!

Needs an infusion of money….staff was grumbling that “the owner won’t give us any staff”. This place has good bones but needs some talc!
