Golden Hills Golf Club (formerly known as 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 Golden Hills Golf Club has a putting green and chipping area as well.

It’s a marsh!

The greens and collars are in good condition but the fairways and rough have standing water . It was so humid that I thought I was in the Midwest with 99% humidity and 99 degrees. It was exhausting!

Pretty good deal for the money

Sure this course struggles to get grass growing everywhere you need it but it seems to be getting better. I play it weekly all winter and sporadically during the hot season. I played and practiced for four hours on a decent course for $20.

Good value

There are a few rough patches the greens but for the money and this year (other courses are really struggling keeping greens in good shape) this course is ok. I’d play it again.

Crummy but great price

It’s your average crummy course with a super slow pace of play (you’ll get stuck waiting for people at every hole), but the price is pretty hard to beat. It’s a great course for beginners.

Solid course for the money

Paid 23$ for 18 holes of golf, cant complain! Was frustrated they had a league that started off the back and two groups were so slow they pushed our groups back 20+ minutes. Not ideal for folks who were looking to beat the heat. Much better conditions (still below average) than previous years

terrible

i paid for 18 with cart earlier today and everything was going good till the 5th hole , i love kids and have kids of my own , but to have a 7 year old driving a cart while the dad is teeing off multiple balls and playing all of them is insane especially while i am just sitting 10 minutes waiting for 1 person who is playing multiple balls , no ranger to enforce pace of play or anything so i just left and even though it was an excellent price i will not be returning ever .

No ranger

There was a group ahead of us who were very slow. There was no ranger to hurry them along a bit.

Fun course

Overall this course is good if you’re just looking to get reps and swings in. Nothing overly difficult, and opportunities to score. Definitely needs better upkeep, greens were a little rough, fairways had some bad spots that were muddy, and a lack of of grass. Yes, it’s very inexpensive to play, which shows in the upkeep. Not a bad course, just wouldn’t pay much to play there.

Great layout

Overall I loved the layout. Not extremely long but lots of house lined fairways. Have to be on target to score. Lots of challenges. Tho grass hasn’t quite come in yet it was well worth the price. Got paired with ex NFL player that made it the most pleasant round in awhile. Being from Texas and there on a visit I did my homework on an old course. Got to love history as this one definitely does. I’ll leave that for others to discover

Disappointing.

Very neglected course in poor condition. Place of play was good because there was hardly anyone playing it. No water on the course and no beverage cart. Largely ignored.
