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 is getting better

I have being playing golf at Union Hills for many years and seen it in pretty bad shape. I was very pleased this time to see noticeable improvements to the course. The fairways had fewer bald spots and the rough was also filling in. The ownership is working on some of the tee boxes which is a plus. Newer golf carts are in use. The sand traps still need work and the golfers that play there need to learn to fix their ball marks on the greens. Overall, I plan on playing this course more often.

Frogger golf

Another 5 hour round at Union Hills. The pace of play here is dismal. Pin placements on the sides of slopes is just killing the pace. Too many average or below average golfers play here to have such difficult pins. This is just plain stupid and slows down play. Speaking of slow, the carts are very slow. Having to cross Union Hills road twice like a demented game of Frogger with carts that do not accelerate is just plain dangerous. We never saw the ranger so no one is keeping pace. We did see the cart girl 3-4 times. She and her friendly smile was the only bright spot for the day. Although they do roll their greens I think they might be over rolling them as the greens are too compacted and you can see the grass is thinning.

Value course

The price is right. Course is always in pretty good shape. Wide fairways and nice greens. Not a fancy course but I’ll save the money and play this course any day.

About what I expected

Typical AZ golf on the weekends: 5 hour round with two five-somes in front of us. Greens were a good speed and a little bumpy from recent aerification. I would say course conditions were decent for this time of year. We saw the cart girl three times during our round which was good!

Decent track, diabolical pace of play

Took 5 hours and 15 minutes to play 18. Ridiculous, everyone rides, no excuse, they need to employ a ranger who does his job. Course was in decent shape.
