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.

Disappointing For Sure

Played this course 11 days before overseed. Course was in terrible shape…and not because of the upcoming overseed. Evidently they have not a watering system because the “fairways” were nothing but brown grass and dirt…the same could be said of the tees…mostly dirt! Greens were barely adequate…didn’t have to worry about fixing divots because you couldn’t make…very firm! No water stations on the course, desperately needed!! Not sure how they can advertise this course as beautiful experience. Really disappointed and won’t be back any time soon. I love golf but this tested my patience!

Friendly staff, fair price, nice conditions

Just wanted to say that the gentleman in the golf shop was super nice, the gentleman working the cart barn was very friendly and personable, and the cart girl was very accommodating. Even golfed with the head of the course Ken and had a great time on the back 9. I will definitely be coming back here.

never again

the management is running this course into the ground, and a name change will not help it maybe fire everybody and start over at the pro shop people are very rude and seem to be misinformed and like to talk cr^& about the other staff right in front of the customer. thought I would give it one more try but still have the same stuff going on bye bye

Just ROUGH!

Greens were ripped up on at least 60% of the greens. Patchy and brown spots, looked like untreated fungus. Several fairways had standing water or puddling and a really bad smell. The bright spot was being able to finish the round in about 4hrs. Price was cheap so I felt ok being outside getting some exercise. Mgmt needs to really think about how to renew this course, because a name change alone isn't going to cut it.

never again

after what happened today my wife and myself will never be back. We have been on this course 25 to 30 times. Today we had a couple of guys go past us on the first hole they were friendly and asked to go ahead no problem we had a friend with use and play slower than most. I could see them going up to #2 which had somebody walking on it and could also see 2 other guys playing around on the green with the cart resting on the side of it. I found this weird because we were the first tee time. The 2 guys went past #2 and went to 3. we could hear the 2 guys that got passed yelling obscenities at the other guys, but it looked like they just went about their play. 1 of the passed off guys tried hitting into them. The fist guys just went on with their game. At hole 10 the first 2 guys came back up the path being followed by an employee who looked to be smirking. the guys were still friendly and asked how the round was going. at hole 15 the 2 that were yelling back at the start were sitting by the Tee box, so I asked what happened they started laughing at how they had somebody else kicked off the course for passing them and said that what they do if somebody passes them. really is that the stuff that goes on on this course.

Ken and Pete deserve a raise

Been golfing here for years… sad that the person who owns the course doesn’t want to put any money into it! (California) so much potential… Staff is why we come back!! Pete in the golf shop and Ken outside service!!! They deserve a raise!

Great course if you just wanna get out and both pay a ton!

As you'd probably expect, this is NOT a golf destination course, but when mt golf buddies and I just wanna get out and play 18 holes, this is tough to pass up. We paid ~$16 green fees for a weekday 6am tee time, but that all we were looking for. The greens weren't bad (front 9 is better than the back 9) and pace of play is good (about 4 hours), but this is NOT some amazing golf destination get away - and we know that.

For <$20 for 18 holes with a cart, it's worth it!

Decent course

Decent course for the price. Greens are in ok condition, but fairways definitely need work. Second time playing this track and both times pace of play was agonizingly slow. If looking for a inexpensive round would recommend.
