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.

Worse course in AZ

It was almost impossible to find grass on the fairway. It was like playing in a asphalt parking lot. Then you walk into the clubhouse and no air conditioner (REALLY IN ARIZONA). We should get a total refund but that won’t happen so I will never play there again

The green's were in very good shape. Golfers should know to repair their ball marks( there were numerous on each green ). Only 2 of the 18 holes tee boxes were in good condition.

The fairways were really poor. More bare hard dirt than grass. I hope this is fixed before long.

The bunkers looked to be in great condition.

It would have been nice to know the greens were aerated prior to booking and playing. All that being said, A day at the golf course can't be bad.

Course needs some help

Course was aerated recently. Many fairways had areas of little to no grass. Greens were nice. Played here many times but have never seen the course in this condition at this time of the year. Areas where there was grass looked fine.

Out of touch, Absentee Owner

The course is currently almost unplayable. 4 of 5 pumps that move water are currently broken with no eta on repair. Apparently the owner, a doctor from California doesn’t want to spend the money. Local staff has to deal with that stupid decision.

Don’t waste your time

Grass was very dry. Drink cart showed up on hole 1 and never came back in 4 1/2 hours. No water or drink made is very uncomfortable. Would never go back based on this

Good value for summer golf

Staff was very friendly, played mid day on a Wednesday so not to many people. Typical summer conditions for Az some burnt areas in the fairways but all of the greens were in good shape and most of the tee boxes

Poor course conditions for cost

The golf course was not taken care of. We went in April when it hasn’t gotten too hot yet for it to be understandable. The fairways were a rock hard with mostly dead grass. The only nice grass was around the greens. Even when you hit the Fairway you still felt like you were hitting an errant shot out of the rough. There are plenty of other courses, not too far for the same price that are better taken care of with much nicer Fairways and kept up well.

The course is in rough shape. A lot of dried out fairway and patches that are essentially just gravel now.
