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.

Top 3 Worst Course Conditions

This course is in terrible shape like straight up neglect. Crackheads talking to themselves on the first tee box. Cart paths that run down the middle of the fairways. Most fairways have more dirt or mud than grass. The carts are literally falling apart. The pace of play was horrible, 2 hours to get through 4 holes but according to staff that’s normal for this course LOL. Watched a dude on the driving range hit golf balls while balancing on a medicine ball (kinda cool but fits the bill for this circus). A few of the greens rolled really nice but that was it. You couldn’t pay me come play this course ever again.

Just a golf course

Golf course was in mediocre shape. Greens were the best part of the course. Restaurant for breakfast before is a must. Best part of the day.

The fairways were spotty. The greens were ok. The rough was dirt. Perhaps I’m being nostalgic but at one time AGR was a go to. What happened?

Course a lot of work

Pro

The greens were payable

Staff was friendly

Cons

Fairways were not good, some Fairways you had move your ball 3 or 4' to get a little of bit grass, I'm talking in the middle.

Place of play was a little little slow 4:45.

I played this last year and 1 time in October. This was the worse I saw the course in.

Pros

Greens we ok

Cons

The fairways is dead, there was time in the middle off the fairway we had to move 3 or 4' to get a little bit of grass.

There was standing water on some off fairways.
