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.

AGR (Golden Hills)

I wish I could write a really good review but there were a few things that weren’t ideal. Our tee time was scheduled for 9:04 and we didn’t tee off until about 9:30 which prolonged our game. The reason we didn’t tee off at the proper time was because we were waiting on a group (which had some of the staff that works there in it) that played the back nine first to play through. Not only that but this was also one of the longest games of golf I’ve played. The pace of play was very slow. On a positive note, the course was in decent shape and the staff was nice.

Disappointed

At the end of 18 holes we discovered our vehicle was either towed or stolen. The friendly warm staff at the beginning of the course were lovely in every way. However after discovering our missing SUV, the staff then were very dismissive and not helpful other than to say they have a parking cone that signifies vendor only parking.

This was shocking as we were confused and left out in the dark to find out the information on who towed it and why. A young parking lot attendant then told us a cone was placed by herself but unable to defend such poor signage that really didn’t indicate a tow zone.

Hence a fun day of golf turned into a stressful experience leading us to all avoid this golf course for future visits.

Not a good way to treat your Golf Patrons AGR!

Slow greens

Mow the greens. Fairways need lots of work. Understand why its cart path only.

Always struggled to be ok

There is nothing golden and there are no hills on this course. It is one of the simpler layouts in East Mesa and has never been in ‘good’ condition for the last 15 years. New ownership/management has their work cut out for them. Best thing about the course is OTG bar off 7th green. Best hole layout is 14 based on pin location. Don’t expect much, but I still play here 2-3 times/year when other courses are full.

SCUBA anyone?

Staff was super friendly. We were warned that the course was cart path only, over-seed. We were not warned that the course was extremely wet, many of the fairways had 1 or 2 inches of standing water. In places where it was not wet there wasn’t much grass. The greens were really slow. If you are going to play I recommend bringing your scuba gear or snorkel along for the swim.

Played Sunday morning

First of the fact that I got a tee time early Sunday morning was great. The course was recently seeded and it was cart path only. The greens were very slow because of re-seeding. The course itself was not hard but challenging. I enjoyed it wish is had a few less bare spots and quicker greens but I will play again.

Had a good time golfing at this course. Course conditions were good even though it was getting ready for winter over seeding.

Know it’s overseed

I get it, it’s overseed time, that being said they shouldn’t have even been open. Even hitting out of fairway it was like hitting out the sand.

Cool course. Friendly staff. fair price. The fairways could be better. Alot of dirt. Careful raking the traps. I got a bunch of fiberglass in my hand from a sun-weathered rake handle.
