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.

Where’s the Fairway?

Literally ugly beat up tee boxes, dirt fairways, decent greens. One of my worst golf experiences after playing in the valley for the last 10+ years

Backed up and dry!

I had a tee time before 6AM and was very surprised to see 5 groups at the first tee waiting to tee off. Not sure how it could have been so backed up with the first tee time starting at 5:04. We teed off 40 minutes past our tee time...not a good start.

Apparently they are having some kind of issue with their irrigation system. All of the fairways were brown with no green grass in sight. The greens, tee boxes and about 10~20 yards of the approach were okay, but the rest of the course was dead. It would have been nice to have known that before booking.

Showed up to play this course only to find out the course hasn’t been watered in weeks. Everything was dry and unplayable. And they had a tournament that was late and our tee time was 7:52 - and the tournament didn’t allow us to tee off until after 8:30

Will never come back to play this course again

Will not play again

Course/ play management was sub-par to say the least. 10+ groups stacked up waiting to tee off at 6 am

Supposedly the irrigation "pumps" were broken and all fairways were basically dust and dirt. Not worth the price of admission and the restaurant was not open at 9 am for food at the turn. Only positive of the round was the beverage cart had beer.

Do better Arizona Golf Resort

$12.00 Tuesdays

The positive, with the fees, the green fees was only $15.00. The cart girl was friendly and informative. The greens were in decent shape. The negatives, the predominantly dirt only fairways. The smell of stagnant water and sewage around the bathrooms. No Marshall to help with pace of play. A 16 ounce domestic beer should not be $7.00. A bottle of powerade should not be $5.00. Overpriced. Sometimes in life, less is more. Finally, this course should state on any website that the current condition of the course is less than idle. Other courses in AZ have green grass on the fairways. Be honest with the public and perhaps your reviews won't be as negative.

This course could be better maintained.

I went to the Arizona Golf Resort by myself to play 18 holes because of the cost. You can't play nine holes anywhere for 13.00. I paired up with a couple of other locals who came for the same reason. Play was very slow but we made the best of it. I think if this place could be updated to provide watered fairways it could be a really nice course,

Can’t beat $15

Can’t beat 18 holes for $15 but At the same time, you can’t expect it to be lush and green. I knew what I was getting into and I was pumped to play this track. It was too ‘hot’ by some peoples standards but that’s when it’s the best, not many people on the course, got to play at my own pace. Would come back

Fairways are dirt. Honestly greens aren’t bad. Tee boxes are mid. Lotta blind tee shots. You get what you pay for

Place is a DUMP

This place isn’t worth it if it were free. Absolutely no fairways to speak of. Hit the ball where the fairways should be and it’s all hard pan, dead winter grass, and holes from being punched who knows when. Tee boxes are all junk. Hacked up, not mowed. Greens were at or just below average for time of year. That was the only plus to the course. Clubhouse had no AC at all. Went in to buy a bucket of range balls, $16.95….. what a joke!! Go somewhere else. Sad, this use to be a pretty decent course to play in the summer.

Dead

Course was dead on the fairways. It wasn't worth the $50 fee. I'd play for $20 because your ball does run forever in those conditions which can be fun on the par 5's.
