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.

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.

No grass on fairways

Decided to try AZ Golf Resort after not playing there for many years and they had openings on Sat morning. I was shocked at how poor the conditions were and realized this was why they probably had openings for early Sat. The tee boxes and greens were nice overall but the fairways were all but dead from no water. Came to learn that they don’t have most of their water pumps working so they let the fairways die basically and keep the greens and tee boxes watered only. They should be ashamed for charging $57 for that track. The staff was friendly and I feel they are in a bad position due to how the owners have let the place go.

Marginal at best.

Greens remain in good shape and are above average for speed. Fairways are brown and dirt patches. Aeration holes present; no summer grass.

Dead grass

I wouldn't play here again even if it was free. Staff told us the water pumps went out so only the greens have grass. The rest is all dead grass and gravel

Patience getting thin

Trying to like this course again but getting harder to do.

-cart kid when we arrived never looked up from his phone. Every golfer took their own cart leaving very few. He never moved until some guy in a black corvette backed in

-no starter so was a free for all on first tee. As many singles as groups of six on course.

-saw beverage cart once as she drive past us on third hole. We had a 10am tee so could have used something

-great day for long drives. Course was bone dry

-to end day, there were easily 30 empty carts with one kid running to get caught up.

-positive note: there were fewer shady looking people on tee boxes looking through carts as we tee’d off

Sad Reminder of Underfunded Properties

I’ve been a resident of Mesa since 1995. AZ Golf Resort used to be quite a gem in the East Valley. Wow, what a difference a few decades make. I realize the ownership has changed several times over the years, and I’m not sure who owns it now, but it’s really in sad shape. Dried out fairways when we haven’t even had really hot weather yet is just… sad. The decline has been steady over the last several years, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this bad. The staff is still friendly enough, so it’s not a total loss, but conditions were well below what should be expected at the end of May in AZ.

“Could have been better”

Course lacked tee time coordination and ranger!!

There were a couple of single players ahead of us which slowed the pace to almost 5 hours!!! Waited at every tee as the second in line!!!

The club house should have buddied up players to make at least twosomes!!

What a dump!

The course is in horrible condition. The only grass you will see is on the greens. Booked because we were visiting family nearby. What a mistake! We payed for 18 and only played 9, due to the terrible conditions and surroundings.

Terrible Conditions

I’ve played this course a few months back and it was in good condition. Came back to play it again today and this is terrible. Fairways are dirt, rough is burnt grass. DO NOT PLAY RIGHT NOW!! Tee boxes and greens are the only reason this course is worth 2 stars.

Going down hill fast

I have played this course many a times over the past 5 years. I continue to hope that it will improve but over the last couple of years it continues to decline. The course is now just going downhill and conditions are pretty much unplayable I would not even play this course for free again
