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.

Goat path dirt farm

This course could be great but…..

The turf conditions here from tee to green are atrocious.

Puddles in fairways next to burnt out “grass” or plain old dirt.

The layout is fun but the greens are bumpy, bare in spots and its just not fun to play here.

On top of the horrible condition of the course the ranger/marshal crew they have working here are a bunch of crabby rude old farts who ihave zero people skills.

Barking orders, scowling at you if you bother them, not very welcoming at all.

Spend your money and time elsewhere

This place needs to fix all the above issues before I play here again

Prices this time of year are unaffordable for us old retirees for most courses. This course keeps the rate affordable to play once a week.

Tried Again

Well I was hoping it would be better than the previous time but I was disappointed. We arrived 30 minutes before our tee time only to be told they were running an hour behind. Apparently if there is frost on the course, they just make everyone wait. An email would have been nice. Once we were able to tee off, we realized there was going to be a back up all day. It was extremely slow and the course was muddy from over watering in some places and in bad shape in others. I think we are done playing here.

Poor Management

We were not told there was an hour delay due to frost. They were not friendly when I asked about that after I had to find out from the starter. Plus, if I wanted my money back, I would have to get it from some website that took it in advance. We played, but the pace was a 5 1/2 hour round, and we had to quit after 9 holes. Plus, the course was in poor condition. Been there before, but this really sucked.

Course Needs Work

The course needs work - it’s been a while since there was rain, but there were areas that needed more than just water, The greens were okay. Pace was slow. Food, drinks and entertainment was great!

It’s a shame to watch a good course start to deteriorate. . .

No grass off the fairways

We completed right over 4 hours on a Saturday. Friendly staff for checking in and starter. Greens and fairways in OK conditions but don’t expect any grass to sides of fairways.

Nice layout but in poor condition

This was my first time playin this course. Locals tell me that a few years ago it was in really good shape. New ownership (3 years) clearly have opted not to keep it well maintained.

Slow Play-Poor Course Condition

The course needs a lot of work Rakes were missing from several traps. Tee's were difficult to place your tees in the ground. Staff was friendly. The marshal did not seem to move the pace of play-even though there was at least one open hole in front of the group playing in front of us. Fairways were very spotty. Drives down the middle often found little or no grass. While the price is low, so are most of the playing conditions.

Needs TLC

The course has a good layout , the bunkers had just been all recut and raked but the fairways, rough and tee boxes were in extremely bad shape. With some fertilizer, , seed and water the course would have great improvement. The back nine seemed in better shape than the front. Definitely not worth the $60+ we paid!

Worst condition ever

Been playing here weekly every winter for over 10 years, worst condition ever. Bare fairways, super soggy areas, mud.

Not worth the $$ they are charging.
