Rating 70.8

The Arizona Golf Resort is home to a golf school and a challenging 18-hole course. The golf course is known for its difficult and scenic par-3 holes. It is has a traditional layout that features large, subtly sloped greens that are guarded by bunkers. Stately cottonwood and eucalyptus trees line the generous fairways. Lakes form water hazards that come into play on five holes and there is also native rough throughout the course. With four sets of tee boxes, the course offers a suitable challenge for players of all skill levels. In addition to the course and the school, the Arizona Golf Resort has a putting green and chipping area as well.

Improving

I played here 3-4 years ago and the course appeared to be improved, however, it still needs work. Cleaned up. I have too high of expectations since I can play much nicer courses in Minnesota for less money.

Golden hills golf course

On a positive note, the course was in pretty good shape and the greens were excellent, except for mounting divots that would go unrepaired.

I have one criticism, missing rakes in 2 sandtraps..... On the 10th green, neither trap was raked. Many footprints, why?

Course was in fine shape, and pace was better than ever. If I had a complaint it would be about the senior men’s tee placements. Most holes did not gain enough advantage. On longer holes they should share the tee box with the women

The tee placement could be costing a lot of clients, because of how old the crowd is

Course Condition

We really enjoy this course but unfortunately for the past few years they seem to be having sprinkler issues and that makes for a lot of very wet areas on a lot of the fairways. Hoping this gets rectified soon

Don’t throw away good money

I played this course a few years ago and it was in very bad shape. They changed the name so they fooled me. The pace of play was atrocious there were at least three groups backed up on at least nine holes. A pipe must have burst because their was casual water running through the hole course. This had to rank as one of the top 10 worst courses conditions II have ever played. This course needs either new ownership to put the money into the course to restore it back to a playable condition or a superintendent that can maintain the course. Until then don’t waist your time or money.

Reading reviews this place was getting a bad rep and I don’t know why. Super nice course and definitely worth your time and money.

The course needs some love

I have been playing here for more than 27 years. Course has deteriorated to the lowest conditions over the last 5 years. The entire facility is not being kept and it looks terrible. Bunkers with no sand, greens were spotty at best. Some fairways were good but surrounded by dirt on both sides. I paid for 18 holes, but left after 9 holes very disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite courses in Mesa, but it has gone downhill. I played it because I couldn’t believe some of the reviews, but now I inow

JUNK

This place could be Decent if someone cared!!! There was not a starter, we got pushed back 15 minutes to start!! It took 20 minutes to finally get a second shot off. As we were walking to our carts, this BOZO old man YELLS at us, if you don't stay on the cart path, I will kick us out of here. No hey guys can you use the 90-degree rule? The course has as much dirt as grass. There was no need to say anything like a JERK!! They weren't in the middle of re-seeding!! Just a total D-HEAD trying to act like he had some authority. This place is a JOKE. We played 12 holes in 4 hours and finally left the course!!! Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had at any course!!!

Serve me in the future?? I would only go play there again for free!!! I Paid $210 for three players. Didn't get to finish, we were there for 4 hours. Got harassed by the old cart guy. How about you offer a better experience and a free round!!!
