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.

Horrible Condition

The golf course was in the worst shape I have ever seen a golf course in. There was no grass. What was there wasn’t mowed. It was horrible conditions! There were plenty of employees but not much work going on. No water on the course in 120 degree weather. We could buy it. Soda was five dollars a bottle. The course had offers of buy one green fee get one free but it was not offered on golf now. I will definitely not return!

Bad News Bears of Golf Courses.

Golf is hard enough now add in fairways with no grass, only dry dirt. Don’t even pull out your 52,56, or 60 degree wedges. I’ve played this course before in the past never seen it that bad. To be honest the course should be free, just pay for the Cart. Just saying…

Summer deals

The pro shop and starter were great. The course had been punched and a couple greens were dried out and pretty rough. Overall course is fun, challenging and a great value for your weekend golfer. Look forward to trying their taco and margaritas later this month.

Mud Galore

There’s more mud on the course than grass. They don’t maintain anything it looks like. If you hit a great shot, there’s a high chance it landed in a puddle or mud from the over watering.

My cart got stuck trying to retrieve my balls…numerous times. I was doing donuts in the middle of the fairway.

Worse golf course I’ve seen ever. Stay away

Course is old and run down

Staff was friendly. Course could use some TLC empty on a Saturday morning. Completed 18 holes in about 3.5 hrs.

Has potential to be a great course. Most fairways are dirt

Greens are trash.

Management sucks still

Each year the course just gets worse. Now the new manager acts more like a thug than a golf pro. Plus, even more dirt and crap conditions than ever before. It is sad, must bulldoze it all…..stay away and go to another course !

Give it up and sell it.

Punch pass holders who won’t be back. Nice layout which is now near the point of disrepair. Sorry to advise that you will still have to be willing/ able to pay for water this fall if you want to own a golf course in AZ. Sell it now if you can. This is decent layout that will be sad to see destroyed.

Course in terrible shape

Course in terrible shape. Almost no grass on entire course. Not much grass on greens. Almost no one else playing this course. Won't play this course again in summer.

Will not go again

Nice people, but there was barely any grass anywhere and I am not exaggerating. It looked like land after a flood where everything is dead.

I usually don't care too much and just want to play,

But this was crazy.

I do feel bad giving this review, because I know how these affect businesses.

No grass

The course lacks the main component of grass, especially in the fairways.
